Yep, it would appear that Near coinswaps are completely comprised, which isn't all that surprising. The hacker was also lazy, sent exact amounts and didn't wait. Textbook timing analysis mixed with metadata being logged by Near.
It is pretty funny that the very first time Zcash is used for a hack it gets completely traced. Welcome to the big leagues.

Seems like the hacker also did... everything wrong
Imo, and please explain the alternative cause I'm probably wrong, the best thing to do after a hack seems to be going underground for a bit and not immediately throwing things into the public view where people can start making connections. Using usdt and usdc also seemed stupid, they freeze shit constantly. 10mil frozen by tether??
Can you imagine fearing for your life after losing the boss's 10 mil...

I'm an artist (skills in vtuber making and livestreaming), wannabe singer, and chronically lonely loser- always willing to chat about nearly anything. Don't hesitate to start a convo with me.
Large sums of money, sent with clear patterns and using low-quality cryptocurrencies... Well, the result was inevitable.

It's worth giving it a chance
