Trapped Ledgers: a scammer gets robbed of 60 BTC in turn

Share

According to Chainalysis investigation, a criminal network specializing in fake job offers had 60.3 BTC, approximately $4.8 million, stolen. The funds originated from a task scam where victims were paid to post fake reviews and generate false sales on real products. On September 22, the proceeds were distributed across three addresses linked to Ledger hardware wallets. On October 9, hackers emptied all three addresses in single transactions each, consolidating the 60.3 BTC into one wallet already flagged for stolen funds. This case is part of the broader trapped Ledger scandal involving devices modified to spy on users before sale.
