🙉 BAY 7.500 TRILLION BECAUSE… LISTEN TO THE PHONE | Cold wallet is not wrong, the mouth is the bug 😅
💥 A whale just evaporated ~300 million USD (~7.500 trillion VND) just because of a scam posing as support for hardware wallets. On-chain from CertiK & ZachXBT confirmed: cold wallets are still safe, seed phrase is not.
🧠 The familiar yet painful scenario:
• The scammer pretends to be a Trezor employee, requesting "security verification"
• The victim reveals the seed phrase → game over
💸 Damage:
• 1,459 BTC (~139M USD)
• 2.05M LTC (~153M USD)
→ Total ~300M USD
🕵️ Sophisticated money laundering:
• Swap through THORChain/ThorSwap
• Bridge to Ethereum, split wallets
• Finally exchange for XMR (Monero) to cut tracking
👉 Currently only ~700k USD is frozen, the rest has "dove deep"
🛑 Remember to stay rich:
• No wallet will call asking for the seed phrase
• A cold wallet is safe only when your mouth is safe
😄 This article serves as a warning, not investment or security advice. If anyone calls asking for the seed phrase, be polite… hang up before getting rich 😜
