This line is our short summary of the quote below. The quote is the evidence.
The stolen USDT reached the attacker's main Ethereum wallet at 20:24 UTC. Tether froze that wallet 37 minutes later, locking 1.18 billion USDT in place, and then followed the funds, freezing four more attacker addresses within 17 minutes. Circle froze the 823 million USDC in the same wallet three minutes after that.
