## Resource

A crew of reckless young cats pulled off a jaw-dropping $240 million crypto heist, then spent it like it was Monopoly money—sports cars, private jets, Miami mansions, and one guy dropping $569K in a single LA club night. Their wild party lasted a month before the feds caught up, thanks to a sloppy IP address that led them straight to a luxury rental. With 18 charged and Malone Lam expected to plead guilty (and face 14+ years), this case exposes how crypto scams are exploding while regulators stay asleep—and why these kids got schooled.
