Between 6 and 7 May 2017, 50 of the 97 Bitcoin seized by the NCA was transferred from a ‘retirement wallet’ owned by White to a public address in two transactions. The Bitcoin was then broken down into smaller amounts and transferred through the “Bitcoin Fog”, before being moved to other public addresses in an attempt to hide the trail of the money.
