ZachXBT: KuCoin sent a legal threat email to a victim regarding a $250,000 stolen funds money laundering case

On-chain detective ZachXBT stated that the cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin has sent a legal threat email to a victim whose stolen funds were laundered through a KuCoin account and purchased KYC identity. The case involves a theft incident from the Atomic wallet on August 18, 2025, resulting in a loss of approximately $250,000, with the stolen funds transferred to multiple KuCoin deposit addresses.

ZachXBT mentioned that it has issued multiple warnings about KuCoin in recent months, including issues such as blocking legitimate users, enabling illegal activities (such as transactions related to dark web markets), and slow responses to requests from law enforcement agencies.
