THE THIEF HAS BEEN CONFIRMED!
(Please read carefully)
Following Balvio's insistence that Abledigital is in possession of the burnt coins, I contacted him immediately to explain to me why Balvio is so confident about the burnt coins. I told him he has to be honest so that we can solve this problem once and for all. I took the address Balvio gave to use for the explanation. He said the address Balvio used is not the address used for the swap. I remember asking Nissan (Soulgate) to give me the premined address on chat when discussion was ongoing in house of dems group. This is the screenshot of our chat.
The premined address is VWzYoz6fZ84bfQWvDNDnYznXcodoMvYPhy
While the address Balvio used is VXp4VA3vvWwh4XNux2qLok5iY7iMCHtnRW
So we decided to study the two addresses and relate to find out what actually happened.
But from the screenshot below, you'll realize that there's a difference between the two addresses. Check the transactions on both addresses, you'll see that one remained active and staking to the time 1.5 was withdrawn on 18th October. That address was the one Emeka used for swapping and burnt the 1.5 million XVP.
The other is the one Balvio used which is not the premined address used for the swap.
If you look at the swap address, you will realize that the amount received increased. That is the time Emeka said the dev returned the 800,000 XVP that was missing from the premined before the swap.
But let's move to the main issue which is time the burnt coins got missing. Balvio said Emeka has about 4.5 million coins, but the problem is that he miss calculated despite the amount of time and care he puts on his research. But I understand. It's age things really. Now look at what happened here on the 18 of October according to Balvio's screenshot.
Before 18th, the original amount on the burnt address is 1,534,589 XVP, but on 18th, there was a deposit of 1,464,589 XVP. Now if you add up the total coins you'll get exactly 2,999,178. That same day, all the coins where withdrawn from that address. But according to Balvio, he added 2,999,178 + 1,464,589 to get 4, 463, 767 XVP which is totally wrong. WRONG CALCULATIONS!
But this is the funniest part. The address of the 2 million coins held by Emeka is VWUQ58RdqPsyN9PJUWkgGCZK5DWQkE592a.
The 2 million coins remain in the wallet until September 13th where about 397,000 XVP was withdrawn to pay users who lost their coins on the xvp online wallet which Emeka explained during the meeting that the dev stole.
After the withdrawal, you'll see the balance remaining was 1,616,615 XVP. From the balance he also withdraw all the coins he sent to TIF. XVP for TIF which is currently with Balvio. It was from the remaining balance of about 1.5 million that he dumped after his idea of swap was not accepted. But from the address, you can still see the balance that is remaining which is about 439,122 XVP. In other words, he dumped about 1, 121, 523 XVP.
Now the big question is, if according to Balvio, the 4, 463, 767 XVP belongs to Emeka, that will mean Emeka has 4, 463, 767 + 2,000,000 XVP = 6,463,767. How possible? Remember that the burnt address Balvio is talking about is VXp4VA3vvWwh4XNux2qLok5iY7iMCHtnRW but the wallet with 2,000,000 XVP belonging to Emeka is VWUQ58RdqPsyN9PJUWkgGCZK5DWQkE592a.
Another thing is that the first time Emeka touched the 2,000,000 XVP was on September 13th (withdraw 397,000 to return stolen funds to users from online wallet).
But the burnt address received about 1.4 million coins on October 18th.
Where did the 1.4 million coins came from? From the 2 million? Of course not. Balvio later said the 1.4 came from bleutrade. This is bleutrade address which you can confirm from the explorer VS5Vc7crzBVWXMqDmYNJBUuZ6Mu17ZfPn7. As at October 17 before the drama of 18th, bleutrade had a total balance of about 1.4 million XVP. See screenshot below.
How can a balance of 1.4 be withdrawn from bleutrade on 18 and bleutrade still has much coins almost exact amount as 17th? Check the screenshot on October 18th below. Can you see any withdrawal of 1.4 million?
Even Emeka himself never realized that someone has stolen that much coins. He was shocked when we discovered it and realized the dev indeed has a lot of stolen coins possibly from Mobile wallet, pool, and online wallet combined with the 1.5 million burnt coins. All together about 3 million XVP.
In conclusion, you can clearly see that Balvio did a great job, but also made big errors. I am however happy that he discovered all these terrible things.
I hope this information will bury the issue of the 1.5 million so we can think of a way to deal with it.
