🚀🚀Hey BTC enthusiasts, here's a juicy piece of news for you! The infamous 'Pink Drainer' scam group, notorious for their wallet-draining tactics, has ironically fallen victim to a similar scam. 😂

According to MisTrack, a crypto compliance platform, Pink Drainer lost about $30,000 worth of Ethereum due to an "address poisoning" scam on July 7. This type of scam involves targeting pairs of addresses that frequently interact with each other and "poisoning" the transaction history of one of them. The victims then unwittingly transfer funds to the familiar address, misplacing the funds for the criminals' benefit.👀

This is a classic case of the hunter becoming the hunted, as this method mirrors the very tactics Pink Drainer was known for employing against others. MisTrack's tweet read, "Scamming the scammer. It seems like an address associated with the Pink Drainer fell victim to the address poisoning scam. Can't say we feel bad for them tho." 😏

This development comes two months after Pink Drainer announced it was shutting down its nefarious infrastructure. On-chain sleuth ZachXBT noted that the developers of Pink Drainer had released a statement saying that they had reached their goal and would retire. All stored information would be wiped and securely destroyed.

Data compiled by Scam Sniffer and Dune Analytics revealed that Pink Drainer had stolen approximately $85.3 million worth of funds from 21,131 victims. It's always a good day when the bad guys get a taste of their own medicine! 🎉🎉
