On September 24, 2025 addresses linked to SBI Crypto saw ~$21M in suspicious outflows on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Doge, & Bitcoin Cash.

The stolen funds were transferred to five instant exchanges and deposited to Tornado Cash.

A new Bloomberg article on Scattered Spider revealed that the centralized exchange Crypto[.]com previously had a breach and never publicly disclosed the incident that exposed the personal information for a portion of its users.

This week the project @OpenVPP ($OVPP) claimed to be working with the US government on the tokenization of energy.

12 hrs ago Hester Pierce replied saying she does not work alongside or endorse private crypto projects.

JP (THORChain co-founder & Vultisig co-founder) had a personal wallet drained for $1.35M by DPRK on September 9, 2025 after a meeting call scam on Telegram.

Ironically JP and his products have benefited significantly financially from the laundering of DPRK exploits/hacks such as Bybit in the past.

Yesterday an unknown victim was exploited for ~3.047M USDC on Ethereum.

The attacker swapped USDC for ETH and immediately deposited the funds to Tornado.

It appears the Solana project 'Aqua' has likely rug pulled 21.77K SOL ($4.65M) after being promoted by teams such as Meteora, Quill Audits, Helius, SYMMIO, Dialect, and many influencers.

NEW LEAK: Price sheet of 200+ crypto influencers and their wallet addresses from a project they were recently contacted by to promote.

From 160+ accounts who accepted the deal I only saw <5 accounts actually disclose the promotional posts as an advertisement.

On Aug 19, 2025 a victim fell for a social engineering scam and lost 783 BTC ($91M) after exchange and hardware wallet customer support were impersonated.

The stolen funds began to peel off and deposits to Wasabi were made by the threat actor.

1/ An unnamed source recently compromised a DPRK IT worker device which provided insights into how a small team of five ITWs operated 30+ fake identities with government IDs and purchased Upwork/LinkedIn accounts to obtain developer jobs at projects.
August 17, 2025 at 12:30 AM
Update: More court documents were unsealed after my post.

There’s paragraphs in the affidavit which describe the X panel used to compromise accounts and a script for social engineering Redman used.

1/2 I am pleased to share that Cameron Redman was convicted today & ordered to pay restitution as a result of my investigation.

In June 2022 X panel access was sold for 250 ETH which resulted in 10+ account compromises (JRNY, Beeple, Nouns, Zeneca, DeeKay, etc) & millions stolen via phishing scams.

Appears my avatar made it on China Central Television (CCTV) yesterday in a short segment about the $243M theft from the Genesis creditor.

An observation I have noticed is the easiest way for a project to dilute their brand image is by running a Yaps campaign as they currently incentivize low value farmers who spam AI generated posts vs attracting sticky capital and organic users.
July 25, 2025 at 6:35 PM
11/ No matter how many times I say this people need to stop blindly following influencer calls.

I hope X considers suspending his account for all of the scams he’s been involved with.
July 22, 2025 at 4:24 PM
10/ Crypto Beast temporarily deactivated his account but has since returned doing small giveaways to engagement bait into gaining new followers.

I would expect he does similar pump and dump schemes in the future.
July 22, 2025 at 4:19 PM
9/ If you use X search you can clearly see it’s not the first time Crypto Beast has done this, as many old followers got rekt on other bundled rugs $ALPHA $RICH $YE $RUG $ACE $JOHN
July 22, 2025 at 3:13 PM
8/ Another sniper cluster did indeed sell $2.6M+ with ties to the ALT deployer address but 45+ wallets directly tied to Crypto Beast sold $11M+ so it’s only a small part of the story.

Additional wallets linked to him still hold 89M+ ALT (10% supply)
July 22, 2025 at 3:04 PM
7/ Meanwhile Crypto Beast lied to followers on X and deleted promotional posts about the token in an attempt to gain sympathy from the community.
July 22, 2025 at 3:01 PM
6/ Here’s a table with Celestia to Solana instant exchange txns I was able to perform timing analysis on.

My analysis proves the Crypto Beast public wallet is directly tied to the bundled wallets that sold $ALT on July 14, 2025 as the same Celestia address was used to fund all of them.
July 22, 2025 at 2:59 PM
5/ The Celestia address from above transferred small amounts to five instant exchanges from May - July 2025 (Kucoin nested, Sideshift, Binance nested, HTX nested, etc) to fund side wallets.
July 22, 2025 at 2:58 PM
4/ I observed LedZo5 was funded via instant exchange so I traced back from the funding txns to the Celestia address below by performing a timing analysis.

3/ Crypto Beast previously shared a public wallet on X & TG in now deleted posts.
