Details

I believe that the addresses, PLSKXSEYVSPF5JRXVPTYW7C7SGOC47NH2Q4MJWAKHB47BGSMSJVPUK7LMU and BMHBWFCZDR6SWDB6X2RH4OFPLPX5VVGCAXNXWUOCPUD3WWLDY7VY3TQJMI correspond to BTCTurk addresses.

Firstly, there are notes on txns which close to the PLSK address which indicate BTCTurk is the recipient. There are two such addresses which receive these transactions. They are shown here: https://allo.info/tx/H4MAF56ONEQXRMDN5RRKSPBKUZ34OEFAQS7IRZJCR2AQSXVWCEHA and https://allo.info/tx/ZIXCTBHUK67ZHCZZAQSXDXS3I6NAUDUFYFEHVNFQT7APJE4PT3XQ.

In addition to these notes, the PLSK address closed to the BMHB address. And it has ceased its normal transaction activity on 6/22/24, https://allo.info/account/PLSKXSEYVSPF5JRXVPTYW7C7SGOC47NH2Q4MJWAKHB47BGSMSJVPUK7LMU/txns. This corresponds to the Cyberattack which BTCTurk addressed by shutting down deposits and withdrawals, https://coingape.com/turkish-crypto-exchange-btcturk-faces-cyber-attack-wallets-compromised/.

Overall, the txn notes related to PLSK, the linked accounts from PLSK close out, and the activity corresponding to a known deposit/withdrawal halting all point to these addresses being linked to BTCTurk.
