I'm curious to know, what became of the vast amount of Bitcoin that was stolen from the Bitfinex exchange six years ago? Have any of the stolen coins resurfaced on the blockchain, and if so, how were they traced? Were there any significant arrests or legal actions taken as a result of the theft? And most importantly, what steps have been taken by Bitfinex and the broader cryptocurrency community to prevent such heists from happening again in the future?

The unidentified parties responsible for the theft appeared to be moving the bitcoins in an attempt to cash them out or transfer them to a new location.
