   • Observed labels: Ronin Bridge Hack: Lazarus Group, USDT Token, circle

   Sanctions-sensitive attribution materially increases review urgency because legal and compliance context becomes critical.

3. History capped by fetch limitmediumWhy this driver?
   • Transfers observed: At least 501
   • History cap: observed count may be a lower bound (cap 500)

   Incomplete transfer coverage reduces confidence because observed totals may be lower bounds.

• Improved transaction coverage could materially change activity-based interpretation and increase confidence.
• Off-chain context would be particularly valuable here, the detected structural patterns raise interpretive ambiguity that on-chain data alone cannot resolve.
• The dormancy-reactivation pattern warrants direct inquiry, understanding what triggered resumed activity would substantially clarify the current behavioral picture.
