Crypto detective ZachXBT conducted an investigation that revealed that three fraudsters stole $243 million by using social engineering techniques to steal 4,064 BTC from Genesis and spread the funds across more than 15 exchanges.

They posed as Google support staff and gained access to the victim's account by bypassing two-factor authentication, which resulted in the disclosure of private keys.

ZachXBT also found a video of the criminals immediately after the theft and was able to identify them using publicly available data. Part of the stolen funds was blocked and the fraudsters were arrested. This case highlights the dangers of online fraud and the importance of protecting personal data.
