A 22-year-old just got sentenced to 70 months in prison for laundering $263 million in stolen Bitcoin.
He spent his cut on Lamborghinis, Rolexes, and mansions costing $80,000 a month.
And he never touched a single line of code.
Here's the full story.
Evan Tangeman didn't hack anything.
His crew stole 4,100 Bitcoin through social engineering.
Phone calls. Fake identities. Psychological manipulation.
Talking their way into wallets worth hundreds of millions.
Then Tangeman's job was simple:
Take the Bitcoin. Make it disappear. Turn it into cash.
He did it well enough to fund a lifestyle most people only see in rap videos.
Lamborghinis. Rolexes. $80,000 a month in rent.
For a 22-year-old from California.
Here's what gets overlooked in every story like this:
Social engineering is the most dangerous attack vector in crypto.
Not quantum computers. Not smart contract bugs. Not exchange hacks.
A phone call. A convincing voice. A person who trusts the wrong person once.
That's how $263 million moves.
And it moves so fast that by the time the victim realizes — the Bitcoin is already in a mixer, across three wallets, and heading toward a cash-out network.
Tangeman pleaded guilty. 70 months. Six years.
$263 million stolen. Lamborghinis repossessed. Mansions vacated.
But the 4,100 BTC?
At today's prices, that's nearly $400 million.
The victims lost more than they knew.
And the lesson is the same one the French kidnapping data just taught us:
In crypto, the weakest link is never the blockchain.
It's always the human on the other end of it.

🚨 SEC Charges Three Crypto Platforms in $14M AI Fraud Scheme
US authorities have accused the creators of three fraudulent crypto platforms (Morocoin, Berge, and Cirkor) and associated investment clubs of orchestrating a $14 million scam. The fraudsters leveraged AI hype and private group chats to lure victims.
How the Scheme Worked (Jan 2024 – Jan 2025):
Victim Acquisition: The perpetrators advertised on social media, funneling users into private WhatsApp group chats.Deception: Posing as financial experts, they provided "investment advice" allegedly generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI).Fake Platforms: Victims were persuaded to open and fund accounts on the fraudulent platforms. The scammers claimed these sites were licensed and legitimate, but the SEC states no actual cryptocurrency transactions ever occurred.The Exit Scam: When investors attempted to withdraw their funds, they were hit with "withdrawal fees." Even after paying, the funds were never returned. The defendants allegedly embezzled at least $14 million and wired the money overseas.
⚠️ Regulator's Warning:
The involved organizations include AI Wealth, Lane Wealth, AI Investment Education Foundation, and Zenith Asset Tech Foundation.
The Golden Rule of Security:
"Beware of any group chats where you receive investment advice from strangers—this is how people fall victim to fraud," the SEC warned.
Stay vigilant and always verify platform licenses before depositing your funds! 🛡️

PGI founder Ramil Ventura Palafox has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for wire fraud and money laundering connected to a Bitcoin fraud operation. What stands out here isn't just the length of the sentence—it's that the court treated this as traditional financial crime with crypto as the vehicle, not as some murky regulatory violation where intent is debatable.
Wire fraud and money laundering carry serious federal time, and the fact that $BTC was involved didn't soften the outcome. If anything, it may have made prosecutors more aggressive. This case also signals where enforcement is headed. Regulators might still be figuring out what counts as a security or how to classify DeFi protocols, but fraud is fraud regardless of the asset.
Courts aren't going soft on crypto cases when the underlying conduct is clearly criminal. Twenty years is a message—not just to the defendant, but to anyone running schemes behind the complexity of blockchain tech thinking they're harder to prosecute. They're not.

FTX Gets Court OK to Sell $873M in Assets for Creditor Payback while Founder Awaits Sentence
A Delaware bankruptcy court has approved to allow FTX, a bankrupt crypto exchange, to sell $873 million in trust assets which will be used to pay back creditors.
The values of these assets have recently increased to a total of $873 million as of October 25 with $807 million from Grayscale Investments and $66 million from Bitwise.
On November 3 FTX debtors made a request to sell six cryptocurrency trusts, including Grayscale's Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts and Bitwise's Crypto Index Fund.
FTX owns significant shares in these trusts, with over 22 million units in Grayscale's Bitcoin trust and 6.3 million in their Ethereum trust.
Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, and Digital Large Cap - these are the other Grayscale trusts to be included in the sales in order to gather funds for affected FTX customers.
Since FTX's collapse, FTX's administrators have recovered around $7 billion in assets with $3.4 billion in cryptocurrencies. The total customer assets misused is a total of $8.7 billion.
Convicted on fraud charges, Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX's founder, is waiting to be sentenced while he's in detention at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, where he recently traded mackerels for a haircut.
