A 22 year old named Evan Tangeman just got caught helping launder over $263 million in stolen crypto. The guy went by E, Tate, and EvanExchanger online, basically turning dirty funds into cash so his crew could blow half a million on nightclub tabs.

The whole operation relied on social engineering. They hit hacked databases, ran fake tech support scams, and even did physical break ins to grab hardware wallets. Most of the group were still teenagers with zero real jobs, yet they pulled off this massive haul.

It shows how crypto like $BTC $ETH and $SOL can get weaponized when the barriers are this low. The obvious take is that its all just kids being dumb, but the reality is these schemes expose how easy it still is to move serious value without traditional oversight.

The ringleader setup makes you wonder what else is sliding under the radar.
