1/ Lets talk about the worst NFT cash grabs yet

Called Impact Theory it’s essentially one of the growth mindset pyramid schemes

Tom decided it would be a good idea to try and raise 20k eth ($71m)

All under the guise of giving you “exclusive access to his growth events” ImageImageImageImage
2/ Impact Theory reminds me of those “lifestyle influencers“ on LinkedIn/YT

They prey on people wanting to achieve success and host networking events or sell courses (think Grant Cardone or Tai Lopez)

Granted Tom did build a very successful business prior. But 20k eth ?!? ImageImageImage
3/

Here’s the article for reference:

globenewswire.com/news-release/2…
4/ Granted this is assuming it sells out.

Let’s say the prices all dropped to the floor he still would raise $33m Image
5/ Half of the roadmap is for people to buy more of their NFTs. The other half is generic entrepreneur/mindset guru events.

Can’t believe CdM is supporting this clown… ImageImageImage
6/ He means obligation to take everyone’s ETH so he can get his $71m

*cringes* ImageImageImageImage

In case you are curious how John Daghita (Lick) was able to steal $40M+ from US government seizure addresses.

John’s dad owns CMDSS, which currently has an active IT government contract in Virginia.

CMMDS was awarded a contract to assist the USMS in managing/disposing of seized/forfeited crypto assets.

It still remains unclear at this point how John obtained access from his dad.Image
Image

Update: The CMDSS company X account, website, & LinkedIn were all just deactivated Image

Update: John Daghita (Lick) began trolling again on Telegram shortly after my post Image

1/ Meet the threat actor John (Lick), who was caught flexing $23M in a wallet address directly tied to $90M+ in suspected thefts from the US Government in 2024 and multiple other unidentified victims from Nov 2025 to Dec 2025. Image
Image
Image
2/ Earlier today John got into a heated argument with another threat actor known as Dritan Kapplani Jr. in a group chat to see who had more funds in crypto wallets.

In 'The Com' this is known as a band for band (b4b).

However the entire interaction was fully recorded.

Image
3/ In part 1 of the recording Dritan mocks John however John screenshares Exodus Wallet which shows the Tron address below with $2.3M:

1/ Meet Haby (Havard), a Canadian threat actor who has stolen $2M+ via Coinbase support impersonation social engineering scams in the past year blowing the funds on rare social media usernames, bottle service, & gambling. Image
Image
2/ On Dec 30, 2024 Haby posted a screenshot in a group chat showing off a 21K XRP ($44K) theft from a Coinbase user.

3/ On Jan 3, 2025 Haby posted a screenshot from his Exodus wallet showing his Telegram & IG accounts.

I matched up the historical balances to the screenshot and found the XRP address linked to two other Coinbase user thefts for ~$500K total.

1/ A video went viral on YT this week after a US based victim lost $3.05M (1.2M XRP) from their Ellipal wallet.

Here’s the tracing of where the stolen funds ended up and the biggest takeaways for similar thefts. Image
2/ Although the victim did not directly share the theft address after watching the video I found it by reviewing the date and amount.

r3cf5mgj5qEcj9n4Th28Es7NVRnXGJjkzc

The victim seems inexperienced and does not provide enough details to determine how the Ellipal wallet became compromised besides it being user error.
3/ The attacker created 120+ Ripple -> Tron orders via Bridgers on Oct 12, 2025.

On block explorers the transactions show as Binance since Bridgers (formerly SWFT) uses them for liquidity. Image

1/ An investigation into how I identified one of suspects tied to the $28M Bittensor hack from 2024 by identifying anime NFT wash trades linked to a former employee and earned a whitehat bounty for my efforts. Image
Image
2/ 32 $TAO holders experienced unauthorized transfers in excess of $28M from May to July 2024 and the Bittensor network was temporarily halted on July 2, 2024.

A post-mortem published by the team revealed the thefts were the result of a supply chain attack after a malicious PyPi package was uploaded in late May 2024

Victims who downloaded the package and performed specific operations accidentally compromised private keys.Image
3/ I began tracing the stolen funds from two initial theft addresses, TAO was bridged to Ethereum via Bittensor native bridge, and then transferred to instant exchanges where the attackers swapped to XMR.

Victims:
$400K: 5ENiTXL63DRMKytjaDRBLnorwd6qURKcCVgsgpu8UQxgptQN
$13M: 5DnXm2tBGAD57ySJv5SfpTfLcsQbSKKp6xZKFWABw3cYUgqgImage

1/ An unnamed source recently compromised a DPRK IT worker device which provided insights into how a small team of five ITWs operated 30+ fake identities with government IDs and purchased Upwork/LinkedIn accounts to obtain developer jobs at projects. Image
Image
2/ An export of their Google Drive, Chrome profiles, and screenshots from their devices was obtained.

Google products were extensively used by them to organize their team’s schedules, tasks, and budgets with communications primarily in English. Image
3/ Another spreadsheet shows weekly reports for team members from 2025 which provides insight into how they operate and what they think about.

“I can't understand job requirement, and don't know what I need to do”

“Solution / fix: Put enough efforts in heart” Image
