In the US, a guy faces up to 20 years in prison for withdrawing $1.7 million through fake checks.
💰 A scheme straight out of a series:
– Opened fictitious accounts
– Submitted fake checks
– Withdrew cash
– Converted to bitcoin
– Profit… until the feds showed up 👮♂️
🎯 What is telling:
🔹 Phishing schemes are not new
🔹 And trying to 'clean' everything through crypto is a direct road not to the Maldives, but to federal prison
❗️Lesson: Blockchain is not anonymous.
You are not a movie hacker if you leave traces like a hippo in a swamp.
