Former engineer flagged as a possible link — but evidence remains murky

The probe surfaces an eyebrow‑raising lead: a former engineer tied to the Bittensor foundation may have been involved in deploying an NFT presale that accepted funds connected to the exploit. ZachXBT describes the relationship as “too coincidental” to ignore, yet also makes clear he cannot conclusively accuse any wallet owner.
That uncertainty illustrates the limits of current on‑chain sleuthing: NFT flows are recorded, but presales, minting contracts and off‑chain KYC/payout processes can obscure provenance. Law‑enforcement-grade attribution would likely require subpoenas, exchange logs or cooperation from NFT marketplaces.

Speculation without proof only deepens confusion — concrete evidence is essential here.
