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