Galaxy Digital Calls Out Duel Casino Over 230 ETH Hack Dispute

Alex Thorn, who leads research at Galaxy Digital, recently criticized Duel Casino for its refusal to freeze 230 ETH. The funds are allegedly tied to a victim of the recent Coldcard exploit. Thorn urged the platform to take action to stop the movement of these assets, but the casino has held its ground.

Duel Casino responded by stating that it will not freeze funds without clear, verifiable evidence connecting the specific deposits to the hack. The platform maintains that it requires proof before taking action against user accounts to avoid shutting down innocent players.

This incident shows the tension between victims seeking help and platforms that must follow strict verification protocols. Traders should watch how similar disputes play out, as they often set the standard for how casinos and exchanges handle reports of stolen funds in the future.
