What is and is not established. No attribution exists; WalletExplorer's cluster is an anonymous identifier, not a named entity. Reporting that describes the coins as 'lost' or 'inaccessible' is inference from the absence of spends, not evidence about the keys. The April 2010 first-deposit date comes from BitInfoCharts and was not independently confirmed; balance and never-spent status were confirmed on mempool.space on 6 August 2026.
