I just came across a jaw‑dropping story on Cointelegraph about a 19‑year‑old named Veer “Wiz” Chetal who pulled off a $243 million Bitcoin heist using a brutal social engineering hack. He and his crew pretended to be support agents, duped the victim into handing over credentials, hijacked 4,064 BTC, and live‑streamed their success—only to expose their identity in the process .

Despite being out on bail, Chetal wasn’t done. He later orchestrated another scam on Gemini/Google victims, stealing around $2 million before his IP was traced back to his home. His requests for bail were denied after this second incident, during which he lost all the money on gambling—$200K wagered in just nine minutes .

This case underscores how naive overconfidence can unravel massive criminal schemes—and how even minor mistakes, like ad‑libbing personal info or bragging online, can lead straight to justice .
