Arkham pointed out that a wallet that Buterin sent $50 ether to have $1.05 million trapped in the Optimism bridge for the past seven months. $1.8 million in wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and $800,000 in Ether are delayed in the Arbitrum bridge respectively, while another wallet connected to Bofur Capital—which has the same name as a Celsius creditor—had $1.8 million in WBTC stalled in the bridge after 27 months of inactivity.
