A Brooklyn man has been sentenced to 4โ12 years in prison after prosecutors said he stole nearly $16 million in crypto from around 100 Coinbase users through a social-engineering scheme.
He allegedly posed as a Coinbase representative, convinced victims their assets were at risk, and directed them to wallets he could access.
The stolen funds were then moved through multiple exchanges and allegedly used for cash-outs, betting, gift cards and other digital assets.
The case is another reminder: never trust unsolicited crypto support messages or move funds based on a callerโs instructions.
