Nothing about the payment looked wrong. A peg-out request had come in through SideSwap, an approved trading venue on the network, the matching L-BTC had been burned on the sidechain the way the protocol requires, and the signers signed. A small 2.5 BTC transfer had gone out just before it. The two amounts ended up consolidated in a single address holding about 3,998.5 BTC.</p>
