ZachXBT reveals details of $243 million cryptocurrency theft case and three masterminds against Genesis creditors

Odaily Planet Daily News: Chain detective ZachXBT published an article on X platform, detailing a major cryptocurrency theft case against Genesis creditors. He pointed out that: On August 19, 2024, three hackers stole $243 million worth of encrypted assets from a Genesis creditor through a highly complex social engineering attack. The attackers first impersonated Google customer service and deceived the victim over the phone, successfully infiltrating their personal account. Subsequently, they disguised themselves as supporters of the Gemini exchange, claiming that their accounts had been hacked, inducing victims to reset their two factor authentication and transfer funds from their Gemini accounts to controlled wallets. Finally, the hacker lured the victim to share the screen using AnyDesk remote desktop software, thereby stealing the private key of the Bitcoin core wallet. ZachXBT has confirmed three main suspects: 1. Veer Chetal (pseudonym Wiz) received the largest share of the stolen money, approximately $34.5 million, which still exists at address 0x3c7a5f2795e73d2b94a9120a643f608cfc45c935. 2. Malone Iam (pseudonym Greavys) lives a luxurious life in Los Angeles and Miami, spending up to $250000 to $500000 per day and even giving away Herm è s handbags to women. 3. Jeandiel Serrano (pseudonym Box) is responsible for impersonating Gemini customer service to commit fraud. With the joint efforts of ZachXBT, CFInvestigators, Zeroshadow, and Binance security teams, over $9 million in funds have been successfully frozen, of which over $500000 has been returned to the victims. It is worth noting that Malone and Jeandiel have been arrested in Miami and Los Angeles respectively. The law enforcement department expects to seize more funds during the arrest process, as a large amount of fund transfers were observed before and after the arrest.
