In his final, desperate message, he #admitted defeat:
"Hello, I tried to move funds to Tornado but I used a phishing website, and all the funds have been lost. I am devastated. I am terribly sorry for all the havoc and losses caused. Please redirect your efforts toward those site owners to see if you can recover some of the money. This will be my last message. It’s better to end this all. Again, I am sorry."
