These don’t resemble typical mud assault transactions as the worth in every output is just too excessive at >0.01 LTC and they aren’t constant. With out additional instruments to completely map and join these addresses its exhausting to get a greater image of what’s occurring. At one level it seems to connect with an alternate / service pockets that has been used miltiple instances throughout 2017–19.
There’s additionally a connection to this pockets: (M893qmrU3PSwTrDVU7Cn3K4zxUWPKBmZkr) which seems to be consistently spamming the community with tons of of transactions a day.
