  • Unusual cryptocurrency trade sees $49,000 turn into $2 million, prompting insider trading suspicions.
  • Trader uses new wallets and avoids selling TORI tokens, raising questions about identity concealment.
  • Authorities urged to investigate wallet addresses to trace funds and uncover potential insider trading motives.

A recent analysis conducted by blockchain firm Lookonchain has brought to light a suspicious cryptocurrency trade, prompting concerns of possible insider trading. The trade, which occurred over a mere five-hour window saw an individual transform an initial investment of $49,000 into a $2 million.

Initially the trader withdrew $49,000 worth of Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency from the exchange platform Binance. Subsequently, the entirety of the SOL was utilized to procure 261.4 million tokens of another cryptocurrency, Torium (TORI).

This trade was made with two distinct and previously unseen wallet addresses:

  • AMkvpN9aaWtKt6PE3V5tigaKjLNSiTAg6sHozBg1LzXR
  • Ci3ausexMuDjXwMZ5xnEZwob8XvptSwxGrGZoGYqhxyT
  • Surprisngly what distinguishes this trade from conventional market activity is the absence of any subsequent selling of the TORI tokens. Instead, the tokens were spread across multiple wallets without being liquidated. This behavior coupled with the utilization of novel wallet addresses, has cast suspicion on the trader’s intentions.

    The substantial increase in the value of TORI following the trade could be attributed to crypto market dynamics rather than illicit activity. Nonetheless, the conspicuous nature of the transaction asks for further scrutiny.

    Regulatory authorities and investigative bodies are urged to conduct a thorough examination of the provided wallet addresses in order to trace the flow of funds and ascertain the identity of the involved parties. Such an investigation holds the promise of elucidating the motives behind the trade and determining whether any impropriety occurred.

    TORI token currently rests at $0.008306 down by 6.76% in the last 24 hours. While, the SOL token based on Solana rests at $135.94 down by 5% in the last one day.
