Note the perp hasn't been active on social media for quite some time either - so guessing in custody - it's a seizure in rem but couldn't see a indictment - in addition reading it wasn't sure if he was behind the pig butchering or just the processor taking a cut for converting
He was a P2P player by the looks of it, over 50m$ in transactions, feds seized 700k...
It's amazing; 30 seconds of due diligence would tell you "mybinet.com" had absolutely nothing behind it. I mean, there's barely anything about it when you run a search. How you could manage to send 800k to that is beyond me.
And when you do a search, the only results tell you it's a scam, most of which pre-dates the deposits made by A.Z.

True - but not even sure what pig butchering is these days - at first it was thrown around with cases about fake dates - met an American on a plane conned by one of those years ago -
She was just leaving KL after trying to track the perp down that had her life savings - then it was about investing into a HYIP (dashboard) scam and being unable to withdraw - these days absolutely no clue as they throw anything in there under it.
It's a shame that the file doesn't say how long he was groomed for in the chat. It seems a key detail, really. Are we talking months, weeks or days that he was in contact with Big Kev?
Because he invested the 800k in just 13 days via 6 deposits, it wasn't exactly the long game to get him to increase his contributions to it. The job was done in under a fortnight
How you could not google something about it, though, is insanity.

He kept his money on the exchange. That's crazy!
PS. I'd like to see someone try to seize my crypto ....Good luck to them smi(&%
How are you intelligent enough to make 800k but also stupid enough to just give them away? I am familiar with this sort of scam as I had someone send me dirty funds in my early days of P2P, but that was a decade ago and I'm surprised people still fall for this type of low effort fraud.
He's NOT! His "competition/victims" were DUMBER than him.
It's like me sprinting against +80 year olds... I am going to win that race...NOT because I am fast, but because the other runners are too slow! 😉
