$BTC š„¶ Trap that caused CEO to lose $200K Bitcoin
Kent Halliburton, CEO of the Bitcoin mining company Sazmining, was targeted by a group of scammers who set up an extremely sophisticated scenario. They posed as wealthy entrepreneurs, inviting him to lavish meals, handing him cash envelopes, and offering to sign a contract to purchase mining machines worth 4 million USD to gain his trust.
After that, they asked Halliburton to "prove" that the company had enough Bitcoin by transferring 220,000 USD BTC into a newly created wallet using the Atomic Wallet app that they "trusted."
Right after he transferred the money, the BTC disappeared completely. They cut off contact and vanished.
The issue is that this wallet app has been tampered with or pre-installed with malware. This is similar to situations where many in the crypto community have been hacked because partners requested the installation of Zoom software for online video calls.
