Whoever got these wallets better sell them and get a good security company on rotation quickly before anyone find out who they are. Seems like wrench attacks been been happening a lot more the last year.

You just need to swap them for monero and then monero for litecoin or bitcoin again. Now you have anonymous, untraceable coins.

Someone actually did that, a few months ago. 320M in BTC was converted to monero and the price of monero increased by 50% [0]
