$BTC The Mystery of the Dead Trader: Binance's Crypto Ghost
Roman woke up in the middle of the night to a call. The phone displayed an unfamiliar number, but his heart sank - something told him to answer.
– You lost everything. But there is still a chance to get it back.
The voice on the receiver was distorted, as if it was being cut through digital white noise. Roman immediately realized that it was about crypto – a few hours ago his balance on Binance had disappeared. 200 thousand USDT had evaporated into nowhere.
24 HOURS UNTIL DISAPPEARANCE
Roman was a scalper, a master of quick trades. Today he noticed an unusual anomaly: every 10 seconds, identical orders for 0.777 BTC appeared in the BTC/USDT order book. Even more strangely, they immediately disappeared. Algorithm? Bot?
Roman decided to play the game: he placed limit orders in places where mysterious orders appeared. It worked!
Every order he placed was filled instantly, and the price rose. Within 5 minutes, his balance had increased by 40,000 USDT.
But something was wrong…
An illogical pattern began to form on the chart – the figure resembled a QR code. Roman was overcome with anxiety. Was this a mistake? A game of big players?
AFTER MIDNIGHT
Roman's balance reached 250,000 USDT. He decided to withdraw the funds, but all transactions were frozen. Binance did not respond.
Suddenly, the support chat opened by itself.
– Take your money if you can.
Roman checked the last transaction – all USDT went to the wallet with the prefix 0xDEAD….
Fear gripped him. He had seen this wallet before—it had once belonged to a trader who had been found dead after a mysterious drain of funds.
HERE AND NOW
The phone was still beeping in my hands.
– Roman, if you want to get your money back – execute one order. Buy 0.777 BTC for $6.666.
His hand trembled. He knew it was a trap. But there was no choice.
He clicked “Buy.”
The monitor went out.
1 BTC appeared on his balance… But Binance now showed the date – August 21, 2022, the day of that trader’s death.
Roman looked around. His room looked different – old, like in a photo from 2022…
He became part of a game that no one had ever won.
