1/ Let’s review all the direct scams Bitboy has worked with in the past. Just in case you forgot here is the flyer with how much he charges.

I received this a while back by posing as a project interested in a promotion.
🧵 👇 ImageImage
2/After Coffeezilla made a video on paid promotions in the crypto space last month an Official Bitboy representative stated they “rigorously vet” projects.

I uncovered 7 direct scams Bitboy actively worked with and promoted to his audience. Image
3/ In Fall 2020 Bitboy worked with $MYX and even was warned by community members. Bitboy has since deleted the video. ImageImage
4/ Also in fall 2020 Bitboy worked with $DISTX a video he titled “my most trusted coin”

He went on to change the video title later on. The video also had zero promotion disclosure & project exit scammed.

The video is still up but don’t worry it has been archived safely by me. ImageImageImageImage
5/ Now we have Zao Finance another project that exit scammed in Fall 2020.

He deleted the tweet but don’t worry I recovered it.

At least he put #ad on the scam right? ImageImageImage
6/ Here’s $ETHY another scam Bitboy worked with in December 2020 that ended up rugging

Notice a pattern here with deleted videos? ImageImageImage
7/ Another one people forget about is $LOCK (Meridian Network) a project he covered twice in late 2020.

The project’s Twitter & Website are no longer there and once again Bitboy deleted his video on it. ImageImageImage
8/ We have the $CPH slow rug promoted by Bitboy (also deleted)

Coin was delayed for years and founder has sketchy past.

Search “$cph scam” for more ImageImage
9/ We also have $PAMP another scam promoted by Bitboy. The video hasn’t been deleted but is unlisted.

I’ve also downloaded this video. ImageImageImage
10/ I’m sure there is more so feel free to drop any comments if you’ve found any

It’s clear simple due diligence is not done and it’s profits over followers with shills. Just bc you delete a video doesn’t mean it didn’t happen

As per usual follow for more threads in the future Image
In case you missed my thread on Bitboy stealing art for his NFTs
An example of plagiarism Bitboy did
Another example of plagiarism Bitboy did this past year
@YouTubeCreators @YouTube @YTAdvertisers how can you let people be continuously taken advantage of by crypto YouTubers with their deceptive advertising…
Oops
Coincidence?
More plagiarism

1/ My recent investigation uncovered more than $16.58M in payments since January 1, 2025 or $2.76M per month has been sent to North Korean IT workers hired as developers at various projects & companies.

To put this in perspective payments range from $3K-8K per month meaning they have infiltrated 345 jobs on the low end or 920 jobs on the high end.Image
Image
2/ Here’s a look into one of the six clusters I have been monitoring and was able to attribute 8 different DPRK ITWs that obtained roles at 12+ projects.

I traced out the payment addresses from the table to two consolidation addresses.

3/ Sandy Nguyen (@bullishgopher) a DPRK ITW from this cluster was spotted via OSINT next to the North Korea flag at an event in Russia.

A small group of people still believe North Korean devs are just a conspiracy despite all of the IOCs, research, etc widely available. Image

1/ Multiple projects tied to Pepe creator Matt Furie & ChainSaw as well as another project Favrr were exploited in the past week which resulted in ~$1M stolen

My analysis links both attacks to the same cluster of DPRK IT workers who were likely accidentally hired as developers. Image
Image
2/ On Jun 18, 2025 at 4:25 am UTC ownership for ‘Replicandy’ from Matt Furie & ChainSaw was transferred to a new EOA 0x9Fca.

Jun 18, 2025
6:20 pm UTC: 0x9Fca withdrew mint proceeds from the contract
Jun 19, 2025
5:11 am UTC: 0x9Fca unpauses the mint

The attacker then minted NFTs and sold into bids causing the floor price to fall to zero.Image
Image
Image
3/ On Jun 23, 2025 the attacker transferred ownership from the ChainSaw deployer to 0x9Fca for Peplicator, Hedz, Zogz.

Similarly the attacker minted NFTs and sold them into bids causing the floor price to fall to zero.

1/ An investigation into how the New York based social engineering scammer Daytwo/PawsOnHips (Christian Nieves) stole $4M+ from Coinbase users by impersonating customer support, bought luxury goods, and lost most of the funds gambling at casinos. Image
Image
Image
2/ Daytwo operates a small call centre group and also works as a caller.

His group primarily coerced targets into setting up Coinbase wallet with a compromised seed on phishing sites.

Below is a video of his panel used and a sample of his voice when calling.
3/ In Nov 2024 $240K was stolen from an elderly victim with Daytwo’s worker Paranoia (Justin).

A private recording of the theft exists and was obtained (see part 1 below)

1/ In late 2023 a former Yuga Labs security researcher was stopped at the airport after law enforcement mistakenly linked them to a $1.1M phishing theft from a Bored Ape owner.

Here’s an investigation into where the stolen funds went and who’s actually responsible. Image
Image
Image
2/ In Dec 2022, a victim had 14 X BAYC NFTs phished in a social engineering scheme where purchased X accounts were used to convince the victim they wanted to license the IP rights for a film.

The scammer directed the victim to a phishing site where they had them sign a message draining their assets.

3/ In Sep 2023, Sam Curry a well known whitehat and former Yuga Labs security engineer was detained at the airport by law enforcement for questioning and was served with a grand jury subpoena (later dropped).

In reality as part of his security work at Yuga, he had been investigating the theft and used a private key put in the JavaScript of the website by the threat actor.

LE then had mistakenly reviewed logs from OpenSea which included his home IP address and used this to incorrectly link him as the suspect.Image

1/ An investigation into the alleged identity of the mysterious Hyperliquid whale tied to illicit activity that profited ~$20M via highly leveraged positions over the past couple weeks. Image
Image
Image
2/ A trader opened multiple highly leveraged positions on Hyperliquid and GMX from Jan - Mar 2025.

They gained lots of attention this month after two onchain trades:

-Large ETH & BTC long position on 50X leverage just before Trump’s crypto reserve announcement by 0xe4d3 ($10M profit)

-Large BTC short position on 40X leverage by 0xf3F4 ($9M profit)Image
Image
Image
3/ I went and identified the main counterparties of 0xf3f:

0x7ab8c59db7b959bb8c3481d5b9836dfbc939af21
0x312f8282f68e17e33b8edde9b52909a77c75d950

0xe4d31c2541a9ce596419879b1a46ffc7cd202c62

This cluster is to tied to Roobet, Binance, Gamdom, ChangeNOW, Shuffle, Alphapo, BC Game, & Metawin accounts.Image

1/ Over the past few months I imagine you have seen many Coinbase users complain on X about their accounts suddenly being restricted.

This is the result of aggressive risk models and Coinbase’s failure to stop its users losing $300M+ per year to social engineering scams. Image
Image
2/ Myself and @tanuki42_ spent time reviewing Coinbase withdrawals and gathering data from my DMs for high confidence thefts on various chains.

Below is a table we created which shows $65M stolen from Coinbase users in Dec 2024 - Jan 2025.

Our number is likely much lower than the actual amount stolen as our data was limited to my DMs and thefts we discovered on-chain which does not account for Coinbase support tickets and police reports we do not have access to.Image
3/ Let’s walk through how these Coinbase social engineering scams work.

A victim reached out to me last month after losing ~$850K.

Graphing out this theft lead to a consolidation address with 25+ other victims tied to ‘coinbase-hold.eth’.
