Genesis 債權人社會工程攻擊：兩名詐騙者在洛杉磯被捕，900 萬美元被盜資產被凍結

對Greavys（Malone Iam 飾）、Wiz（Veer Chetal 飾）和Box（Jeandiel Serrano 飾）上個月如何透過高度複雜的社會工程攻擊從一個人那裡竊取2.43 億美元進行調查，以及我的努力導致多人被捕和數百萬人被捕凍結了。

Los Angeles law enforcement arrested two individuals on Monday, Sept. 18, in connection to a $243 million social engineering attack on a lone Genesis creditor.

洛杉磯執法部門於 9 月 18 日星期一逮捕了兩人，他們涉嫌對 Genesis 債權人發動價值 2.43 億美元的社會工程攻擊。

The arrests come after a months-long investigation spearheaded by crypto sleuth ZachXBT, who identified the three scammers involved in the massive crypto heist. Iam, Chetal, and Serrano allegedly swindled a single Genesis Global creditor out of nearly $250 million in August. The trio impersonated a Gemini customer support agent to pull off the large-scale theft.

這次逮捕是在加密貨幣偵探 ZachXBT 牽頭進行了長達數月的調查之後進行的，ZachXBT 確定了參與大規模加密貨幣搶劫的三名詐騙者。據稱，Iam、Chetal 和 Serrano 在 8 月詐騙了 Genesis Global 的債權人近 2.5 億美元。三人冒充 Gemini 客戶支援代理實施了大規模盜竊。

According to ZachXBT’s investigation, the scammers shared multiple videos of themselves celebrating the successful heist and expressing euphoria over the stolen loot. In one video obtained by the sleuth, one of the perpetrators shouts, “I’m gonna spazz,” after the group received some 4,064 Bitcoin (BTC) from the deceived Genesis claimant.

根據 ZachXBT 的調查，詐騙者分享了多段自己慶祝搶劫成功並對被盜贓物感到欣喜的影片。在偵探獲得的一段影片中，當該團夥從受騙的 Genesis 索賠人那裡收到約 4,064 個比特幣 (BTC) 後，其中一名犯罪者大喊「我要發瘋了」。

With the help of other bad actors, the funds were then split across over a dozen exchanges and on-chain trading venues, including Binance, eXch, and Thorswap. The hackers also swapped the stolen wealth between Bitcoin, Litecoin (LTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Monero (XMR) to try and cover their digital footprint. Following the heist, members of the hacker trio went on a spending spree, splurging at Los Angeles clubs and buying luxury cars in Miami.

在其他不良行為者的幫助下，這些資金隨後被分散到十多個交易所和鏈上交易場所，包括幣安、eXch 和 Thorswap。駭客還在比特幣、萊特幣（LTC）、以太幣（ETH）和門羅幣（XMR）之間交換了被盜的財富，試圖掩蓋他們的數位足跡。搶劫事件發生後，駭客三人組的成員開始瘋狂消費，在洛杉磯的俱樂部揮霍無度，並在邁阿密購買豪華汽車。

ZachXBT, together with blockchain forensic specialists CF Investigators and ZeroShadow, petitioned the Binance Security Team for help, which led to $9 million in stolen assets being frozen.

ZachXBT 與區塊鏈取證專家 CF Investigators 和 ZeroShadow 一起向幣安安全團隊請求協助，導致 900 萬美元的被盜資產被凍結。

The victim also recovered around $500,000 and worked closely with experts in the investigation, ZachXBT said in a Sept. 19 X thread. Iam and Serrano, two-thirds of the original scammer trio, were arrested in LA on Sept. 18.

ZachXBT 在 9 月 19 日的貼文中表示，受害者還追回了約 50 萬美元，並與調查專家密切合作。 Iam 和 Serrano 是最初詐騙三人組的三分之二，於 9 月 18 日在洛杉磯被捕。

Large on-chain transactions during the arrests suggest that local police seized more funds from the suspects, as previously reported by ZachXBT. At press time, the whereabouts of Chetal, the group’s final member not yet arrested, are still unknown.

正如 ZachXBT 先前報導的那樣，逮捕期間的大量鏈上交易表明當地警方從嫌疑人手中扣押了更多資金。截至發稿時，該組織最後一名尚未被捕的成員切塔爾仍下落不明。

Genesis, a Digital Currency Group subsidiary, owed $4 billion to 100,000 creditors, with about $10 billion in liabilities. The crypto lender was one of several businesses caught in the debacle involving FTX and Three Arrows Capital, fallen crypto giants that collapsed after Do Kwon’s Terraform blockchain ecosystem imploded.

數位貨幣集團子公司 Genesis 欠 10 萬債權人 40 億美元，負債約 100 億美元。這家加密貨幣貸款機構是陷入 FTX 和三箭資本 (Three Arrows Capital) 災難的幾家企業之一，這兩家加密貨幣巨頭在 Do Kwon 的 Terraform 區塊鏈生態系統崩潰後倒閉。
