Counterparty warning:<\/strong> Token Metrics recommends enhanced due diligence before giving Nguyen Van Thanh, also known as Th\u00e0nh Nguy\u1ec5n<\/strong>, access to source code, credentials, wallets, smart contracts, trading systems, or other sensitive infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Thanh completed a Token Metrics contractor\/work trial from December 5\u201316, 2025. In February and March 2026, Token Metrics\u2019 administrative\/deployer key was used to remove approximately 2.11 billion TMAI<\/strong> from three Base contracts. The tokens were transferred to a Gnosis Safe and sold through CoW Protocol. Token Metrics traced at least 42,094.28 USDC<\/strong> in four cash-outs from the incident-linked Safe and cash-out infrastructure.<\/p>\n The $42K+ figure describes documented traced cash-outs, not the complete market value of the 2.11 billion TMAI removed.<\/strong><\/p>\n Token Metrics\u2019 investigation identified Thanh as a specific attribution lead. This was not based on a random name or wallet adjacency.<\/p>\n Polymarket evidence:<\/strong> open the wallet\u2019s Polymarket profile<\/a>. The profile currently displays as \u201cAnon\u201d; Token Metrics preserved the earlier thanh081101<\/strong> association, which remains visible in Arkham\u2019s wallet label<\/a> and the screenshots above.<\/p>\n Nguyen Van Thanh\u2019s public LinkedIn profile lists the following companies and roles:<\/p>\n His LinkedIn headline also describes him as a Quant Strategies Provider<\/strong> and a PhD Candidate at Tsinghua University<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The evidence firmly establishes that Token Metrics identified the correct owner of the personal wallet and Binance endpoint. It also establishes a direct on-chain intersection between drain-linked infrastructure and his wallet.<\/p>\n This warning is intended for companies considering Nguyen Van Thanh for roles involving source code, credentials, wallets, smart contracts, trading systems, or other sensitive infrastructure.<\/strong> Those companies should review the linked evidence and perform enhanced due diligence before granting access.<\/p>\n Token Metrics has reported Nguyen Van Thanh to United States and Vietnamese authorities as a person of interest in its TMAI investigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a documented counterparty-risk warning reflecting Token Metrics\u2019 investigation and the supporting wallet evidence.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"Arkham](\"https:\/\/tokenmetrics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/thanh-arkham-wallet-scaled.png\" "\\"\\"")
