Investigation by #zachxbt :

Last month, a highly sophisticated social engineering attack orchestrated by three individuals—Greavys (Malone Iam), Wiz (Veer Chetal), and Box (Jeandiel Serrano)—resulted in the theft of $243 million from a single victim. The attack began on August 19, 2024, when the group impersonated Google and Gemini support to compromise the victim's accounts. They tricked the victim into resetting two-factor authentication and transferring funds to a compromised wallet, even gaining access to private keys via AnyDesk screen-sharing software.

The stolen funds, including 4064 $BTC , were quickly split among the group and funneled through over 15 exchanges, being swapped between #bitcoin☀️ , #Litecoin , #Ethereum , and #Monero . Wiz's identity was uncovered when he inadvertently shared his full name during a screen share. Greavys flaunted his stolen wealth by living lavishly in Los Angeles and Miami, while Box played a key role in impersonating a Gemini representative.

Thanks to the efforts of investigators and the @Binance Security Team, over $9 million was frozen, and more than $500,000 has already been returned to the victim. The investigation culminated in the arrests of Greavys and Box, with further funds likely seized at the time of arrest.
