Three separate peel branches of the Coldcard stolen funds converge on the same address, within 44 minutes, and it is not on any tracker list.
I have been following the trail past where the published 97-address list stops. Last time I established that the list ends at the first hop — funds leave the tracked set and the tracker still shows three drained addresses as holding. Following it further, the branches reconverge.
## The convergence
```
txid 3cf126caaa9b119537df7cce86da5eca85aebdcbb340b413c6ec8c955a10ae88
block 960666 2026-08-02 03:54Z 11 inputs -> 0.45343143 BTC
our traceable input 0.44999667 = 99.2% of tx inputs
txid d0bcdc4a7306256b5cab1ec086657d5efcca53a5554be2fa1d67a1855d33c0a0
block 960661 2026-08-02 03:15Z 11 inputs -> 0.55416122 BTC
our traceable input 0.24134867 = 43.5% of tx inputs
txid 901df57e6215b7d7ec2197b4cfa156f99eee8e29d2b22aad63bd122995f58ae8
block 960667 2026-08-02 03:59Z 11 inputs -> 0.34877991 BTC
our traceable input 0.27438022 = 78.7% of tx inputs
```
All three land at **3KMmeqPeQcngyTehdfSwsGqvxfU7J7qtc8**.
## What that address is, and what it isn't
```
106,893 transactions
19,104.75 BTC ever received
19,097.88 BTC ever spent
6.87 BTC held right now
```
It batches deposits in (10–15 inputs, one output) and fans payouts out (one input, many outputs), retaining almost nothing. It had four transactions in the mempool while I was writing this. **That is a service hot wallet — an exchange, processor or similar — not an attacker vault.**
Which is the point where chain analysis stops being the useful tool. The operator of that address can see who deposited; nobody outside can. **I am not naming a company.** Volume and shape tell you it's a service; they do not tell you which, and guessing wrong in public costs the credibility you'd need for the report to be acted on.
## The number, and why my first pass was 28% too high
My first script summed the amounts arriving at the hub and got **0.96572556 BTC**. That is wrong, and I caught it before posting.
It failed to propagate dilution from earlier hops. Branch C reached `3PoTBqmiP…` as only **22%** of that transaction — 0.06036365 BTC, not 0.27438022 — so carrying the larger figure forward inflates the total by 28%.
```
branch A 0.44999667 clean 100% at every hop
branch B 0.24134867 clean to the hub, 43.5% of a batched deposit tx
branch C 0.06036365 diluted to 22% two hops back
naive sum 0.96572556 BTC
CONSERVATIVE 0.75170899 BTC <- the defensible figure
```
**0.75 BTC traceable, not 0.97.** The difference between those two numbers is exactly the difference between a report an exchange acts on and one they check and discard. I have watched people in this incident quote "146 BTC to Coinbase" from a transaction where the tracked input was 1.91%, and that claim does more harm than silence.
## What is actually actionable
If you run 3KMmeq or know who does: three deposits between 03:15Z and 03:59Z on 2 August, in blocks 960661–960667, carry funds traceable to the Coldcard sweeps through a two-hop peel chain. The txids are above and the chain is re-derivable from public data with no special tooling.
The rest of the trail — two branches — went to `bc1qdt6cswq9pld5e96el8ljhk4zfqmv423atgsrqw` and `bc1qprkj25k06xxg9wvn2gtu4t4f5204gj385njr98`, each fresh, each holding what it received. Those are still sitting still and worth watching.
Everything above is public chain data via mempool.space. If any of it is wrong I would rather be corrected than repeated.
