Bitcoin once claimed that as long as the physical wallet was not lost, it would be safe forever, and no one could steal or rob it. However, in 2020, there was a big news in the cryptocurrency circle: 127272 bitcoins held by Chen Zhi, chairman of the Cambodian icon Prince Group, were completely stolen by hackers from the LuBian mining pool. At that time, these coins were worth 3.5 billion dollars, and now they have risen to 15 billion, which is equivalent to a sum that could shake the GDP of several small countries.
The subsequent development completely exceeded everyone's expectations. Chen Zhi and the Prince Group were very anxious and rushed to publish a public message on the blockchain at the beginning of 2021, explicitly stating that they were willing to offer a hefty ransom, just asking the hacker to return the coins. After waiting for more than half a year, there was no response from the other party, as if they hadn't seen it. In July 2022, they tried again, but it was the same old story, like throwing a stone into the sea.
Those in the know understand that shouting on the blockchain is quite helpless, after all, the anonymity of cryptocurrency transactions makes it harder to pinpoint hackers than finding a needle in a haystack. However, what is even more puzzling is the hackers' actions. Normally, if a thief steals so many valuable items, they would hastily liquidate them to escape, either by using mixing services to launder the money or by converting it to cash and hiding it.

However, this batch of bitcoins, after being stolen, surprisingly lay in the same wallet for a full four years. During this time, the price of bitcoin fluctuated, but the hacker did not move a single cent until June 2024, when this batch of coins was finally transferred to a new wallet address, yet there was still no movement, neither liquidated nor transferred elsewhere.
This kind of operation completely breaks the norm. The industry is speculating that this is definitely not something an ordinary hacker could do. The National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center had previously disclosed relevant clues, and now more and more people believe that it might be a national-level hacker organization operating behind the scenes.
After all, only forces of this level would not focus on short-term interests and could withstand the temptation of 15 billion, lying low for the long term. Their goal may not be money but rather a strategic action with a special purpose. Once they pinpoint their target, they remain still. As for what they really want to do, no one can say for sure now.
This matter has already passed five years, and 15 billion bitcoins are still lying in an unknown wallet. In October 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the 'confiscation' of this batch of bitcoins, labeling them as 'Chen Zhi's criminal proceeds.' However, the Prince Group's legal team has submitted a motion to refute, pointing out that the assets seized by the U.S. were precisely those stolen in 2020, directly indicating that this is a 'black eats black' incident.
