📣🎉Big news for BTC enthusiasts! Crypto privacy protocol Railgun has successfully thwarted Inferno Drainer's latest attempt to launder stolen funds, forcing the return of 174 ETH (worth around $533,000) to the original wallet. 🚀💰

Inferno Drainer, a notorious crypto scammer, had been operating under a scam-as-a-service mode, deceiving victims with sophisticated phishing websites. After a hiatus, the group resumed its activities in May, citing "increased demand" and the exit of competitors. Despite its inactivity, it claimed to have drained more than $125 million in crypto assets in "private operations." 😱💔

Railgun, however, has faced scrutiny. It's been labeled as an alternative to Tornado Cash, a service widely used by scammers to launder stolen funds. Crypto reporter Colin Wu claimed that Railgun was being used by the notorious Lazarus Group, accused of laundering over $60 million worth of ETH stolen during the 2022 Harmony Bridge heist. 🕵️‍♂️🔍

But Railgun refutes these accusations, stating that its 'Private Proofs of Innocence' feature prevents access by North Korea and other United States-sanctioned entities. This recent success against Inferno Drainer further bolsters its claims. 🛡️🎯
