Indictment Charges Two in $230 Million Cryptocurrency Scam

As you can see, those two scammers who are in their early 20s acted like 15 year old children as soon as they successfully stole more than 4000 bitcoins.

This is what happens when you are uneducated about the real world like large cash payments (>$10k) being reported to the IRS. But I can maybe understand as they are very young and have absolutely no clue about that.

“In one instance, on August 18, 2024, Lam, Serrano, and their conspirators contacted a victim in D.C. and, through the communications with that victim, fraudulently obtained over 4,100 Bitcoin (worth over $230 million at the time)”

That victim is an idiot. Article should investigate how he managed to accumulate 4100 btc.
