🔹 The CICPC of Venezuela detained a person accused of compromising user accounts on the Binance exchange to steal funds.
The arrest is in response to identity falsification schemes aimed at compromising users’ access on the exchange.
The detainee allegedly used forged identity documents to access the exchange.
The arrest took place in the state of Carabobo, in Venezuela’s north-central region.
The stolen funds were used to buy luxury vehicles, cell phones, and computers.

A cryptocurrency exchange returned 772.440 USDT and 182 SOL—about $791.252—to a Venezuelan victim after the Scientific, Criminal and Criminalistics Investigation Corps (CICPC) formally requested the seizure of those funds. The operation was described on September 23 by the ChangeNOW platform in its blog, and it also involved the Venezuelan exchange house CRIXTO and the forensic analysis firm AQ Forensics.
The case began with a robbery of an individual in Venezuela. The funds were then moved through several networks and services, the usual path when someone tries to erase the trail of money that, on the blockchain, is recorded forever.
