Mr. Trung Nguyen – CEO of Sky Mavis transferred the money to try to save the company after the attack and help provide liquidity to users. The transfer was made before Axie made the hack public. Early this morning, Anh Trung posted a tweet:

According to the posted content, the company immediately contacted Binnace to fix it as soon as the security hole was discovered. The above money transfer action to prevent short sellers. The accusations against the speculative company of insider trading are completely untrue.

Accordingly, this is part of a series of crypto transfers from Axie-linked wallets tracked by an Axie user named Asobs.

However, so far only Sky Mavis CEO has confirmed and declined to comment when asked if the other wallets belong to the company’s jurisdiction.
