据称，20 岁的 Malone Lam 于 8 月 18 日从一名华盛顿男子手中窃取了价值超过 1 亿美元的比特币。检察官声称总共被盗走 2.3 亿美元，但目前只查明其中 1.3 亿美元的下落。

According to a federal court filing, it is ‘one of the largest cryptocurrency thefts from a private individual … in the history of the United States’.

然而，检察官透露，警方一直无法找到他的很多汽车，因为“林的许多车辆尚未找到，例如他以 3,800,000 美元购买的帕加尼 Huayra”。

While he ‘admitted to purchasing 31 luxury automobiles, 22 of which have yet to be recovered by law enforcement’, he is claimed to have ‘also admitted to doing additional hacks and making millions from those separate cryptocurrency fraud schemes, which he states have supported his entire lifestyle since arriving in the United States in October 2023.’

The court filing in the District of Columbia federal court added that a kidnapping on August 25 could be connected; however, six other men were charged for that crime.

哥伦比亚特区联邦法院的法庭文件补充说，8 月 25 日发生的一起绑架事件可能存在关联；然而，另外六名男子因该罪行被指控。

据检察官称，塞拉诺在网上被称为 VersaceGod 和 @SkidStar，他在洛杉矶被捕时戴着一块价值 50 万美元的手表。

Lam and his alleged accomplice are being held without bail after admitting to the crimes.

林及其涉嫌同谋在承认罪行后被拘留，不得保释。

As per the documents, a month before they were arrested, Serrano, Lam and other unnamed accomplices are said to have targeted a man in Washington ‘because they believed he held a considerable amount of virtual currency’ after they ‘identified him as a high net-worth investor from the early days of cryptocurrency’.

根据文件，塞拉诺、林和其他未透露姓名的同伙在被捕前一个月，将华盛顿的一名男子作为目标，“因为他们认为他持有大量虚拟货币”，因为他们“认定他是一名高净值网络犯罪分子”。 -来自加密货币早期的有价值的投资者”。

Then, in August, one of the offenders supposedly used an ‘unauthorized Google account access’ notification to be sent to the victim, which would make it seem like it was coming from outside of the country.

然后，在八月，其中一名犯罪者据称使用了“未经授权的谷歌帐户访问”通知发送给受害者，这使得它看起来像是来自国外。

From there, a member called the man and claimed to be from Google’s security team and asked him about his unauthorized access attempt.

从那里，一名自称来自谷歌安全团队的成员给该男子打电话，询问他未经授权的访问尝试。

This then led them to be able to access his Google Drive to grab his financial information to be able to locate his crypto exchange account.

这使得他们能够访问他的 Google Drive 来获取他的财务信息，从而能够找到他的加密货币交易帐户。

They then called the man back and Serrano pretended to be part of the crypto exchange team from Gemini’s support team, while the group planned on Discord and Telegram ways to ‘manipulate the victim into providing private keys to his virtual currency holdings and enough computer access for the conspirators to steal his entire savings.’

然后他们给这名男子回了电话，塞拉诺假装是 Gemini 支持团队的加密货币交易团队的一员，而该组织计划通过 Discord 和 Telegram 的方式“操纵受害者提供其虚拟货币持有的私钥以及足够的计算机访问权限”。阴谋者偷走了他的全部积蓄。

Sadly, they managed to trick the man into downloading something onto his computer which gave them real-time access to his desktop, according to prosecutors.

可悲的是，据检察官称，他们设法诱骗该男子将一些东西下载到他的电脑上，从而使他们能够实时访问他的桌面。

While Serrano got the man to open private folders containing bitcoin, the others quickly stole its contents, which were then split five ways for each person.

当塞拉诺让这名男子打开包含比特币的私人文件夹时，其他人很快就窃取了其中的内容，然后将其分成五份给每个人。

They then used TradeOgre.com to deposit $29 million in cryptocurrency, while police were searching for their whereabouts.

然后，他们使用 TradeOgre.com 存入了 2900 万美元的加密货币，而警方正在寻找他们的下落。

“Meanwhile, his co-conspirator Malone Lam was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars per night at Los Angeles night clubs and amassing an impressive collection of custom Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsches,” prosecutors wrote.
