Chinese young man wildly steals thousands of bitcoins, with an amount involved reaching 1.68 billion RMB! He extravagantly spends in nightclubs, purchases private jets, and buys 31 luxury cars in one go.

Recently, a 20-year-old young man from Singapore has stirred up a storm in the global cryptocurrency circle. In just a month, he transformed from an unknown individual into a shocking cryptocurrency thief.

Look, someone in their twenties can plan the largest cryptocurrency theft case in U.S. history, involving an amount as high as 315 million SGD; and look at myself, also in my twenties, still working hard in the office on Saturdays.

This young man is named Marlon Lin. Despite his young age, he has actually been navigating the dark web and cryptocurrency forums for many years. He is incredibly clever and cunning, thoroughly familiar with the vulnerabilities in blockchain technology and exchanges.

Regrettably, he did not become a genius leader of a blockchain startup through his own talents; instead, he took a wrong turn and chose a path of crime: stealing approximately 4100 bitcoins worth around 230 million USD, equivalent to about 1.68 billion RMB, which is undoubtedly an astronomical figure that ordinary people can hardly aspire to in their lifetime.

Marlon Lin uses aliases like 'Anne Hathaway' and '' in math mode at position' to conceal his whereabouts in the online world. His accomplice Ajie (also an alias) uses 'VersaceGod' and 'SkidStar' as cover.

Their modus operandi can be described as 'methodical': initially, they used technical means to send 'unauthorized Google account access' notification emails to attract the victim's attention. A few days later, Marlon Lin disguised himself as a Google employee and called the victim, pretending to inquire about the situation, gradually manipulating the victim through back-and-forth communication, successfully obtaining enough key information to eventually infiltrate their Google Drive.

In Google Drive, they uncovered various personal information of the victim, including details of cryptocurrency assets on the Gemini platform. Shortly thereafter, Ajie impersonated a staff member from the Gemini platform to contact the victim, using persuasive language to convince them to download a software that claimed to 'protect cryptocurrency assets.' With this software, they stealthily stole the victim's private key, ultimately securing 4100 bitcoins.
