He stole 4100 bitcoins 🪙. How?
Lam Malone leaned back in his chair, fingers working on his keyboard ⌨️. At the age of 20, he was very passionate about crypto, mostly lived online on crypto forums, dark web chats, and shady Discord servers. When a friend joked, "Let’s scam a whale 🐳," Malone didn’t laugh. He typed back:
"Let’s do it."
Money Heist:
Their target was an investor in D.C. having 4,100 Bitcoins ($230 million). The plan was simple. They called him.
1. First Call: "Sir, your Google account is hacked!"
2. Second Call: "This is your crypto exchange. We need to secure your wallet—share your screen."
Panic investor did as they said. The victim clicked, typed, and shared screenshot showing its private key and in seconds, Malone stole all his bitcoins. He announced in their group chat:
"HOLY—WE’RE RICH!"
The High Life Style 💵
Malone started spending lavishly. He rented a Miami Villa 🏡 worth of $68,000 a month having ocean view. He bought private jet ✈️. Luxury clothes 🧥 and bought 30 luxury cars 🚙 one of which is Lamborghini that has his name painted on it. He often visits night clubs. He spends there $100,000 to $500,000 in every visit. He gives tip of $2000. Gave away $50,000 purses 👛 like they were candy. He even bought a "pink Lamborghini Urus" for an old crush. She texted back:
"I have a boyfriend."
Malone said, "Money could buy anything except love."
Then there was entry of "Game Changer"
ZachXBT, the "Crypto Batman," had lost $15K in a scam years ago. Now, he hunted thieves. When Malone’s "Bitcoin moved", Zach tracked it. When Malone shared the pics of his jets and cars in his instagram, Zach screenshot it. He said,
"This guy’s either a genius… or an idiot."
The evidence piled up. Malone wasn’t just a thief he was careless too.
The End 🥺
One morning, Police knocked at his villa. His private jet? Grounded. His Lamborghinis? Seized.
Zach’s report had gone viral. The blockchain doesn’t lie. Easy come ⬇️ will easily go ⬆️.
Moral:
"Scams work, but in the last scammer lose 😓😔. And the internet never forgets."
