69k bitcoins on the move - originating from a Bitcoin wallet.dat (now cracked?)

Transaction: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/3f036ff88bb851b57a1e28780dbce35a6457a8b57995c095b55b3b0cf48ba9fd

Note:

There is no guarantee, however, that this wallet.dat file that's going around actually holds the lost Bitcoin. It's possible that someone forged this wallet so that it would have the 1HQ3Go3ggs8pFnXuHVHRytPCq5fGG8Hbhx address but not its corresponding private key, which is what one would need to get the bitcoins, according to cryptocurrency experts.
