According to Beincrypto, the US Department of Justice has indicted 12 suspects suspected of $263 million in cryptocurrency crimes, accusing them of participating in a criminal network organized by the mastermind Malone Lam. The gang committed crimes through social engineering fraud, database intrusion, and physical theft of hardware wallets, among which Lam was personally charged with a single fraud of 230 million US dollars. Currently, 10 defendants have been arrested, and 2 accomplices in Dubai are still at large. The indictment shows that the division of labor in the gang includes target screening, telephone fraud, money laundering, and on-site theft. Lam once remotely monitored the victim's iCloud data and directed his accomplices to break into the house for theft. According to records from August 2024, the gang stole 4100 bitcoins (worth 385.4 million US dollars at the time) through P2P fraud. In September of last year, ZachXBT revealed that Greavys (Malone Lam), Wiz (Veer Chetal), and Box (Jeandiel Serrano) were suspected of stealing $243 million from a Genesis creditor through a complex social engineering attack on August 19, 2024.
On May 16th, according to CNBC, federal prosecutors in Washington D.C. accused 13 men of plotting a widespread conspiracy to identify victims holding large amounts of cryptocurrency, steal these assets, and then launder the proceeds. According to a replacement indictment obtained by CNBC on Thursday, the victim's cryptocurrency in this case was stolen, worth over $265 million. The 13 member gang includes Americans and foreigners who spend lavishly after stealing encrypted assets, including spending $9 million to buy luxury cars, $4 million to buy nightclubs and several rental properties. One of the defendants is 20-year-old Singaporean Malone Lam, who was previously arrested and charged for the largest theft case, which involved stealing approximately $245 million worth of Bitcoin from a man in Washington D.C. in mid August. The indictment alleges that Lam used the money to purchase over 30 luxury cars, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes G station wagon, a Rolls Royce, a McLaren, and a Pagani. He is also suspected of purchasing a watch worth $2 million.
According to Cryptoslate, US District Court Judge Anastasia Torres has rejected the settlement motion jointly submitted by the SEC and Ripple. The motion seeks the court to lift the injunction in the August 2024 judgment and approve the release of $50 million from the $125 million civil penalty deposit to be paid to the SEC, with the remaining funds returned to Ripple. The judge determined that the application did not comply with the procedural requirements set forth in Rule 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Ripple's Chief Legal Officer stated that they will resubmit a settlement application that complies with the rules. According to legal experts' analysis, both parties need to provide detailed explanations and clarifications in accordance with Rule 60 standards, including the decision-making basis for the SEC to abandon other charges. It is expected that the complete process will take 3-5 weeks. The judge emphasized that this rejection is only for procedural defects and does not involve substantive examination of the settlement content.
