In the last Monero General Fund transparency report in March 2023, the General Fund held 8452 XMR. As far as we know, this separate wallet is safe and unaffected. It would be possible to pay people with active CCS proposal from the General Fund, but nothing has been decided.

Seems like a good time to start using a multi-signature wallet going forward.

The developer who got arrested, that should have tainted any keys they were holding, you don't know who had access to the devices while in police custody

This is a very expensive learning opportunity.

It is interesting that it took nine transactions to empty the CCS wallet. Is that indicative of somebody new to monero?

Not sure but perhaps they weren’t able to send it in one go for technical reasons (like byte size limit), as inputs would have been too many (a lot of relatively small coins, originally received from many supporters)?

Firstly relatively small 23527 B. They did a small “test”? https://localmonero.co/blocks/search/ffc82e64dde43d3939354ca1445d41278aef0b80a7d16d7ca12ab9a88f5bc56a
