its not "some hacker" nor "some whale"
its one of bitfinex's hotwallet addresses it uses to perform withdrawals for many users
in short many many many taints ago the hacker moved hacked coins around and it ended up in bitfinex.. either directly from the hacker depositing into bitfinex or the hacker moving funds between users using other services during the 5 years, and its then random innocent recipient users of that taint that then used bitfinex.. either way, that taint is now sat in a bitfinex hotwallet.
it might be worth the victim(s) that has taint now moved to that address to contact bitfinex. show bitfinex their address they lost funds off of from years ago to show the taint path to bitfinex.
probably worth signing a message with that old key to prove you did have control of funds pre-theft
and then have bitfinex do an investigation on the history of the utxo spends backwards from todays claim back to victims claim. to see which user deposited those funds in the middle.
then if other victims of same scam come forward and bitfinex sees a pattern of the same user depositing same funds into bitfinex then bitfinex can report that user..
bitfinex obviously wont just 'out' the depositor publicly, because it might be just be some random guy that accidentality received some tainted coins between 2018-2023
however if alot of victims funds result in going to the same user. then thats less of a random act/random coincidence. to which they can report such a user
edit:
quick search
it seems alot of the electrum phish scam of 2018 has been moving through bitfinex several times and ended up in bitfinexes hotwallet address
even as early as 2019

so it seems too coincidental to be just a random fluke. so bitfinex could do some investigating into this
