On August 19, 2025, a crypto investor lost 783 Bitcoin, worth about $91 million at the time, after being deceived by scammers impersonating customer support representatives from a hardware wallet provider and a cryptocurrency exchange. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT reported that the stolen Bitcoin was gradually transferred across multiple wallets, with deposits traced to Wasabi Wallet. The theft occurred exactly one year after another major scam targeting a Genesis creditor resulted in the loss of 4,064 BTC. Authorities have previously arrested individuals involved in such schemes, highlighting the persistent threat of social engineering in the crypto space.
