Axie Infinity Co-Founder Loses $9.5M in Ethereum in Ronin Network Wallet Hack
- Approximately $9.5 million in Ethereum was stolen from Ronin network wallets associated with Axie Infinity co-founder Jihoz
- The stolen funds were sent through Tornado Cash to make them harder to trace
- Jihoz confirmed the hack impacted his personal wallets, but said it did not affect Ronin network operations
- Fellow Axie Infinity co-founder Aleksander Larsen said the Ronin bridge itself was secure and the attack compromised a wallet
- The hack comes two years after Ronin's bridge was hacked for $622 million in crypto later tied to North Korean hackers
