Scammer Lost 60 BTC in Ledger Hack

One of the biggest victims of a Ledger wallet hack turned out to be a scammer. The user lost over 60 BTC, worth around $4.8 million.

The funds were obtained using a fraudulent "task" scheme.

Users were paid for fake sales and reviews, after which they were shown a "negative balance."

To receive the promised payout, victims had to deposit their own money.

Timeline of events:

• On September 22, the scammer transferred all funds to three Ledger addresses.
• On October 9, each of the three addresses was emptied in a single transfer to a common wallet, now flagged as linked to stolen funds.
