Have you ever received unexpected crypto in your wallet, share your experience with us if you have any

Gerald Cotten, the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange, seemed to be a brilliant young entrepreneur. He was leading thousands of people into the new world of crypto, where everyone believed their investments were safe. But when Cotten suddenly died in India in 2019, the truth came crashing down. Cotten was the only person who had access to the keys that secured nearly $190 million in customer funds. After his death, those funds were locked away, and people were left helpless, unable to get their money back. Panic set in as the platform shut down, and over 76,000 people—many who had trusted Cotten with their life savings—were left with nothing. As investigators started digging, the truth turned out to be much worse than anyone expected. Cotten had been running a giant scam. He had been taking customer money and using it to fund his lavish lifestyle—fancy trips, expensive properties, and a life of luxury. He had also been creating fake accounts on the platform and trading fake money with real customers, causing even more losses. It was all smoke and mirrors. In the end, it wasn’t just about Cotten’s death. He had been playing with people's trust for years, and by the time it all fell apart, there was almost nothing left.

OneCoin: A deep dive into crypto’s most notorious Ponzi scheme
--
OneCoin, founded by Ruja Ignatova in 2014, became infamous as one of the largest cryptocurrency Ponzi schemes in history. Promoted as a revolutionary cryptocurrency, OneCoin lured in millions of investors from around the globe, claiming to have a legitimate blockchain. However, it turned out that the "blockchain" was merely a database on an SQL server, and no actual cryptocurrency was ever created. Ruja Ignatova, known as the "Cryptoqueen," disappeared in 2017, shortly after law enforcement started closing in. Since then, her brother Konstantin Ignatov took over but was arrested in 2019. The scheme defrauded investors of an estimated $4 billion, although some reports suggest the total losses could be as high as $19 billion. Ignatova remains on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list, with a reward of $100,000 for information leading to her arrest. Meanwhile, key figures like Karl Sebastian Greenwood were sentenced to prison for their involvement

The Bitfinex hack in 2016 remains one of the largest cryptocurrency thefts ever, involving the theft of around 120,000 Bitcoin($BTC ), valued at $71 million back then but now worth over $4 billion. Two individuals, Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan, were arrested for attempting to launder the stolen funds. Over the years, they used a complex network of transactions to move and obscure 25,000 Bitcoin. However, U.S. law enforcement eventually recovered 94,000 Bitcoin, making it the largest financial seizure in the Justice Department’s history. The recovery operation, completed in 2022, highlights the U.S. government's ability to trace cryptocurrency transactions despite efforts to maintain anonymity. Bitfinex, which initially compensated its customers with tokens, is now working to reclaim the stolen Bitcoin. Both Lichtenstein and Morgan face serious charges that could result in up to 25 years in prison
