According to Foresight News, a San Francisco federal court judge ordered Ahmad Wagaafe Hared to hand over nearly $5.2 million worth of Bitcoin and a sports car to the FBI for allegedly stealing cryptocurrency from Northern California cryptocurrency executives. Prosecutors said Hared and his accomplices first obtained personal contact information of executives and investors, then contacted mobile phone service providers and manipulated company representatives into thinking they were the legal owners of the target phone numbers. Hared then transferred the target phone numbers to his own phones and swapped SIMs. Hared then hacked into emails and other accounts and stole cryptocurrency. Hared signed a plea agreement in 2019.
