A recent high-profile Bitcoin heist involving a staggering $330 million has yielded new insights. Cryptocurrency detective ZachXBT has provided updates on the incident, revealing details about the victim and early efforts to track down the suspects. 💰
ZachXBT revealed that a U.S.-based elderly individual was targeted in the attack, with over $7 million of the stolen funds currently frozen by Binance. In addition, ZachXBT has made significant progress in identifying potential suspects.
The investigation points to a possible link between Somali national Nina/Mo, alias X, who operates a fraudulent call center based in the UK, and W0rk, alias X, also suspected of involvement in the scheme. Both individuals have since deleted their social media accounts. 🤫
Authorities believe that this elaborate heist was orchestrated through social engineering tactics, with scammers luring the victim into revealing their cryptocurrency wallet credentials.
