🚨 SCAM ALERT: Nigerian Yahoo Boy Dupes Trump Committee Out of $250K in USDT! 🇳🇬💸🇺🇸
A 21-year-old Lagos-based scammer just pulled off one of the wildest crypto heists of 2024 — targeting none other than Donald Trump’s 2025 Inauguration Fund! 😳
🕵️♂️ Using a fake email that mimicked Trump’s official committee domain, the fraudster tricked a major donor into sending 250,300 USDT.ETH (~₦400 million) to a crypto wallet he controlled.
⚠️ This is Business Email Compromise (BEC) 2.0 — upgraded for the blockchain era.
🔍 The FBI tracked the stolen funds across wallets and got Tether to freeze over 40,000 USDT still left.
📉 Meanwhile, the scammer (aka Ehiremen Aigbokhan) is on the run, and US agents have filed a civil forfeiture suit to seize his crypto loot.
➡️ Reminder to all: Double-check wallet addresses, domain names & verify everything. In crypto, one wrong move can cost millions.
