Stolen Coins and their Destination : Slush Pool Hack from 2012

[aquarat]

I realise this is old news now, but I was looking at an old post by Slush relating to the hack on his pool (as a result of a vulnerability in Linode's web management interface).

The original topic is here.

I followed the coins a bit from the original destination address and found that they haven't really gone anywhere, beyond being recycled several times : https://blockexplorer.com/address/3HNSiAq7wFDaPsYDcUxNSRMD78qVcYKicw
Although it looks like today and yesterday they started being split up again.

Did anyone ever find out who perpetrated the hack ? Is anything being done to recover the coins or prevent them from being used ? Anything interesting someone can add ?

I'm just curious.

If you see it that way then all bitcoins that have been mined haven't gone anywhere too, just waiting for their current owner to spend them.

For all we know those bitcoins have been split to multiple address multiple times before the hacker finally used a mixer and spent them somewhere. I mean, it's been 4 years.
