This Whale Lost $2.5M — Not Trading, But Getting Scammed TWICE 😱
Absolutely brutal. Here’s how it happened:
1️⃣ First Mistake:
He copied a wallet address from his transaction history (seemed safe, right?).
But his clipboard was hijacked by malware that swapped the address.
📤 Result: Sent $843K straight to a scammer.
2️⃣ Second Mistake:
Instead of double-checking, he reused that same "trusted" address.
Turns out, it was still the spoofed one.
📤 Result: Another $1.7M gone — in seconds.
💥 Total Loss: $2.5M
All because of a clipboard hijack and too much trust in saved addresses.
Takeaway:
🔒 Always double-check wallet addresses — every time.
🛑 Never assume past addresses are safe.
🧠 Trust, but verify — especially with this kind of money.
Tag someone who needs this reminder. Don’t let history repeat itself.
