It's should be 120,000 BTC and 64K is more than half.

Yeah, mixing does not seem to be an option. Even if he start to use the mixing services then the mixer will be on the radar and they would start questioning them. It’s amazing though how police workforce traced out the initial transfer and caught one of the hacker. I mean that’s what the articles states and the options are really limited for the other guys too. It’s like they did the stealing by throwing the whole bomb in the public place. Lolz.

Money Heist kinda stuff but it’s not a series, it’s real world stealing so be it.

I have heard that finds have been moving from that address slowly over the years. I don't know though if the hacker(s) have actually had the chance to enjoy what he/she/they have stolen since a lot of eyes have been monitoring the addresses ever since the hacking happened. It's just sad thinking about the people that suffered because of his/her/their scheme and all the bitcoins that failed to enter the circulation specially now that more and more people are flocking into the crypto currency industry.

I guess it comes down to how well they can hide the funds and how much time and effort and money they put into it.
Given enough time and paying enough in fees and taxes you can bury that much money. But it's going to cost you.

Criminals tend to be lazy, but the ones that put in the effort can hide a lot of money.
Would you be willing to spend $1 billion to net the remaining $1.5 billion free and clear?

That's pretty annoying! Why do these scammers burn to hell, I was once a victim and this kind of news really intimidates me.

Karma is real, those who take bitcoins illegally will have a bad and not free life because from the news I heard exchanges block tracking wallets that transfer stolen bitcoins even though they can cash out bitcoins slowly. I hope someone can catch the owner of that wallet

If they are going to move those coins then I do think that it won't be a really good thing to do since at the end of the day the government can very easily track it and at the same time the person who stole might also try and encash illegally which does mean that the price might went down because that's a really high amount. I hope he makes a little mistake and the Bitcoins goes back to the person he stole it from.
Even if he tries and use a mixer he might still get caught and also p2p is not really a good proposal since it's a lot of coins and he might have to find so many people to sell it to individually and once marked the coins will be marked forever. Therefore the buyer will also not have much options as well.

Bitfinex Exchange Hack happened in 2016 and in six years no one was able to know who hacked the exchange. If in 5-6 years, the owner of the wallets are unknown, do you think it will be easy to catch them now?

It seems that hackers won't be caught but if they convert the money into fiat, then there may be some chances to track them but noting can grantee at this time.

You don't even need to join groups, mixers/tumblers are available to use today — and some(like ChipMixer) even has an onion address, for those who value their privacy. The question is just that if the anonymity can be broken or not.
