Strangers are sending tiny bitcoin payments with messages to the Binance hacker's wallets, including pleas like 'Help me bro' and suggestions to use swap services, costing senders about $46 total. The 18,270 stolen BTC remain unmoved since Thursday across 19 wallets, but continue receiving messages via OP_RETURN blockchain transactions. The hacker has begun converting other stolen assets, swapping 970,522 SOL worth $96 million into bitcoin through a bridge.
