A Bitcoin user, who alleges to be the victim of the record-breaking 83 BTC transaction fee paid last week, has come forward, claiming he was hacked.

The self-proclaimed victim created a new account with the handle “@83_5BTC” to share his story, stating that he had created a new cold wallet, transferred 139 BTC to it, and saw it immediately transferred out to another wallet.

“I can only imagine that someone was running a script on that wallet and that the script had a weird fee calculation,” he says.
