ZachXBT: U.S. attackers impersonate wallet customer support to scam, stealing at least $5 million in crypto assets.

2026.08.10 20:41:05

On-chain detective ZachXBT has exposed US national Tiffany Milanovich, an alleged attacker who scammed victims by impersonating hardware wallet and centralized exchange customer support, stealing at least $5 million in crypto assets in total. ZachXBT noted that Tiffany primarily acts as a "phone scammer", posing as support staff from trading platforms or wallets to trick victims into surrendering account access. After transferring funds, she was recorded mocking victims during calls and publicly flaunting luxury spending. According to the disclosure, in June 2026, a victim lost $1.2 million in BTC and ETH from their Trezor wallet after falling prey to a fake BitcoinIRA email attack. ZachXBT said the attackers later flaunted the funds in Telegram groups, while two other attackers named "bled" and "harm" are suspected of providing phishing infrastructure. Additionally, in October 2025, Tiffany and her gang allegedly stole around $500,000 in Bitcoin from a Coinbase user by impersonating customer support. In February 2026, she also displayed the allegedly stolen fund balance during a Discord call with other attackers to show off. ZachXBT stated that Tiffany is also suspected of using victims' funds for gambling and mocking victims during scams. The relevant accounts have now been reported, and the Shuffle platform confirmed it will take banning measures. ZachXBT added that some attackers also allegedly exaggerated theft amounts by forging wallet screenshots and editing videos to boost their influence in underground circles.

CFTC sues Cash FX and three individuals over an alleged $950 million crypto-related Ponzi scheme.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced it has filed a lawsuit against Cash FX Group and three individuals, accusing them of running a $950 million-plus investment scam involving cryptocurrency. The defendants include Cash FX and its CEO Huascar Jose Lopez Castillo (Brazil), The Conversion Pros and its CEO Ronald Pope (Oregon), and Justin Halladay (Florida). The complaint was filed Friday with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The CFTC alleges the defendants operated a multi-level marketing Ponzi scheme, raising and accepting over $950 million in funds under the pretense of trading retail foreign exchange contracts in commodity pools. The CFTC states the defendants falsely claimed funds were managed by professional traders, proprietary algorithms, and artificial intelligence, promising returns of up to 15% weekly. In reality, Cash FX conducted minimal foreign exchange trading, misappropriated most participants' funds, used new investors' contributions to pay out fictional trading profits, and transferred millions of dollars to each defendant. The defendants also provided participants with false accounting statements, resulting in at least $406 million in investor losses.
