On April 26, the market intelligence platform Arkham Intelligence refuted claims that it had misled some users. It recommended that DB, also known as tier10k, set two alerts for Bitcoin transactions worth more than $10,000 and give them the names “Mt Gox” and “US Gov.” When it became apparent that no such transactions had occurred, DB claimed Arkham made a mistake. The alerts were sent to DB correctly, according to Arkham, who also claimed that “no one received inaccurate alerts.” Arkham denied all wrongdoing. The incident happened around the same time that Bitcoin’s value dropped significantly, falling 6% from $29,472 to $27,696.
