Hey all,
My hot wallet was drained across Hyperliquid and EVM chains for millions on 27th Sep.
I’m in touch with the FBI, USSS, @_SEAL_Org, @trmlabs, @CFInvestigators, and major exchanges who are now all aware of the stolen assets, their locations & movements (address ending in dHjFY). All are taking the investigation seriously. All have been incredibly responsive. Thank you.
I’d be happy to pay a bounty to whitehats or anyone with onchain or IRL information that leads to the recovery of the assets. Please DM me for details 🙏.
To the attacker: if you return 80% of the funds, all law enforcement, legal and exchange action will be dropped immediately, and you can keep the remaining 20% as a legitimate whitehat bounty that can be legally offramped and spent. Return 80% here: 2evt4TTjHw6BZjnaaq3UcSnmBrqzJjJnTsWi65yYpLbT
Thanks to the @_SEAL_Org members for their first-hand response and initial guidance.
🚨 The Biggest Crypto Scam You’ve Never Heard Of!
💰 A Chinese "goddess of wealth" fooled 128,000+ people, stole billions, and vanished with 61,000 Bitcoin! 😱 Want to know how it all unraveled? Let’s dive into this wild story! 🧵👇
Our system has detected a hack into @CoinDCX centralized exchange 20 hours ago.
Here's what we know:
- The hacker stole around $44.2M in USDC/USDT from one of the exchange's operational wallets on Solana.
- The hacker funded the hack with 1 ETH from Tornado Cash.
- Part of the funds ($15.8M) were moved to Ethereum via a bridge.
Thanks to @zachxbt for identifying that it's CoinDCX and for the shoutout to Cyvers!
A recent cyberattack on the Central Bank of Brazil services provider C&M resulted in a breach to the reserve accounts of six financial institutions where attackers converted stolen fiat to crypto.
I began working on an initiative that has helped freeze ~$5M across multiple exchanges and blockchains.
A special thanks goes to @tether , @Binance Security Team, @Bitso, @Bybit_Official Compliance Team, & @CFInvestigators.
Collaboration within the private sector is the most effective way to combat illicit activity and push our industry forward.
1/ An investigation into how the New York based social engineering scammer Daytwo/PawsOnHips (Christian Nieves) stole $4M+ from Coinbase users by impersonating customer support, bought luxury goods, and lost most of the funds gambling at casinos.
The scam industry has evolved in the past years, the groups behind it are larger, more organized and frequently linked to transnational enterprises such as Chinese crime syndicates, or, in the case of North Korea, state-sponsored schemes. 🥷
