😂 A scammer had $4.8 million stolen from them
According to Chainalysis, one of the biggest victims in the Ledger incident (I haven’t written about this, but I assume everyone has heard of it) turned out to be a scammer who had collected over 60 $BTC from their own victims.
The scammer lured people in with promises of earnings from artificially boosting sales figures and reviews. Then, to receive a "payout," victims were required to deposit their own funds—ostensibly to cover a "negative balance."
On September 22, the scammer distributed the Bitcoin across three Ledger addresses. On October 9, all three were emptied, and the funds were transferred to an address linked to theft.
