In 2010,
$BTC a young Chinese teenager, Wei Zhang, discovered Bitcoin when it was practically worthless. Being tech-savvy and curious, he invested just $10 into BTC, accumulating a massive stash of coins when they were priced at less than a penny.
By 2013, Bitcoin’s value had started climbing, turning Wei’s small investment into a fortune. Inspired by his success, he decided to dive deeper into crypto. At just **19 years old**, he launched **CryptoLeap**—the world’s first crypto margin trading platform. The exchange became a huge hit, making Wei one of the biggest names in crypto.

The link was a **phishing trap**, and hackers stole his exchange login details. Within minutes, they drained **99,000 BTC** from CryptoLeap’s wallets. By the time Wei realized what happened, it was too late—the money was gone.
The hack sent shockwaves through the crypto world. Investors panicked, lawsuits piled up, and Wei’s empire collapsed. He was forced to shut down CryptoLeap and step away from the industry.
Today, those **99,000 BTC would be worth $11.4 billion**—one of the biggest crypto losses in history. But Wei didn’t give up. He returned as a **cybersecurity advocate**, teaching others how to avoid the same fate.
