Led by 22-year-old Malone Lam, who dropped out of school in Singapore, they used social engineering to steal Bitcoin—only to blow it on sports cars, private jets, and luxury mansions. One member’s IP slip-up led investigators to him, while another gifted his parents a Lamborghini and hid cash in their laundry machine—only for his own parents to be carjacked by extortionists. The FBI recovered $37 million in stolen crypto from one suspect’s apartment. Eighteen people are now charged, with Lam likely facing 14+ years in prison—a cautionary tale that even the slickest tech can’t outrun the law or the consequences of living beyond your means.
