In the USA, another scandal has occurred in the world of cryptocurrency: 22-year-old California resident Even Taneman from Newport Beach pleaded guilty to laundering over 3.5 million dollars obtained from a social engineering attack on crypto users. This case is part of a large conspiracy under the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) scheme, where a group of criminals stole about 4100 bitcoins, worth 263 million dollars at the time of the crime. Today, this amount has risen to 371 million due to the increase in the exchange rate $BTC .
