Genesis 债权人社会工程攻击：两名诈骗者在洛杉矶被捕，900 万美元被盗资产被冻结

对 Greavys（Malone Iam 饰）、Wiz（Veer Chetal 饰）和 Box（Jeandiel Serrano 饰）上个月如何通过高度复杂的社会工程攻击从一个人那里窃取 2.43 亿美元进行调查，以及我的努力导致多人被捕和数百万人被捕冻结了。

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.

洛杉矶执法部门于 9 月 18 日星期一逮捕了两人，他们涉嫌对 Genesis 债权人发起价值 2.43 亿美元的社会工程攻击。

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.

此次逮捕是在加密货币侦探 ZachXBT 牵头进行了长达数月的调查之后进行的，ZachXBT 确定了参与大规模加密货币抢劫的三名诈骗者。据称，Iam、Chetal 和 Serrano 在 8 月份诈骗了 Genesis Global 的一个债权人近 2.5 亿美元。三人冒充 Gemini 客户支持代理实施了大规模盗窃。

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.

根据 ZachXBT 的调查，诈骗者分享了多段自己庆祝抢劫成功并对被盗赃物感到欣喜的视频。在侦探获得的一段视频中，当该团伙从受骗的 Genesis 索赔人那里收到约 4,064 个比特币 (BTC) 后，其中一名犯罪者大喊“我要发疯了”。

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.

在其他不良行为者的帮助下，这些资金随后被分散到十多个交易所和链上交易场所，包括币安、eXch 和 Thorswap。黑客还在比特币、莱特币（LTC）、以太坊（ETH）和门罗币（XMR）之间交换了被盗的财富，试图掩盖他们的数字足迹。抢劫事件发生后，黑客三人组的成员开始疯狂消费，在洛杉矶的俱乐部挥霍无度，并在迈阿密购买豪华汽车。

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 与区块链取证专家 CF Investigators 和 ZeroShadow 一起向币安安全团队请求帮助，导致 900 万美元的被盗资产被冻结。

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 日的帖子中表示，受害者还追回了约 50 万美元，并与调查专家密切合作。 Iam 和 Serrano 是最初诈骗三人组的三分之二，于 9 月 18 日在洛杉矶被捕。

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 之前报道的那样，逮捕期间的大量链上交易表明当地警方从嫌疑人手中扣押了更多资金。截至发稿时，该组织最后一名尚未被捕的成员切塔尔仍下落不明。

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.

数字货币集团子公司 Genesis 欠 10 万债权人 40 亿美元，负债约为 100 亿美元。这家加密货币贷款机构是陷入 FTX 和三箭资本 (Three Arrows Capital) 灾难的几家企业之一，这两家加密货币巨头在 Do Kwon 的 Terraform 区块链生态系统崩溃后倒闭。
