1/ Here is a thread on @Helloimmorgan a NFT influencer and how she has consistently deceived her audience.
2/ Yesterday she caught some heat after promoting a scam undisclosed.

3/ I would accept the apology except she previously DENIED she was paid at all to @fauxcondor . This anon also tried to warn her with proof it was most likely going to end poorly yet she did not listen.

Was paid out 4.7 eth in total.
4/ Morgan claims this was the first time she was paid for a project. I will observe if that’s the case.
5/ Here is an example with the project Women of crypto where Morgan received 10 free NFTs in exchange for hosting a giveaway.

She proceeded to dump 8 of these right away for ETH.
6/ As she is a US based influencer here are the FTC influencer guidelines:

Seems pretty clear cut to me.
7/ Here’s her doing another giveaway for Squiggles. She claims the community asked for it yet if you use Twitter search there are zero requests for it

“(to:helloimmorgan) until:2022-02-03 squiggles”

Squiggles caught heat on Twitter before mint so she cut ties it seems
8/ Here’s some other giveaways that have been hosted.

Newsflash hosting a giveaway for a whitelist spot is still compensation.
9/ Back in the fall of 2021 there were questionable wallet transactions conducted during a fundraiser for her Grandma.
10/ For a different charity project she suddenly decided to cut the % donated in half after it was live.
11/ Here we have some clear engagement baiting. This combined with the giveaways seems to be the strategy of gaining a following.
12/ I don’t like how she shifts the blame to others and is not holding any accountability for her actions. There is a clear lapse of judgement going on.

This is a reoccurring theme with influencers.
As per usual everything was gathered using Twitter search & her public ENS

etherscan.io/address/0x0ab6…
Here’s another example of her not disclosing.
….
Calls it “mob mentality” no it’s accountability for your actions. Otherwise it’s the FTC fining you.
More details have emerged about the Grandma cash grab.
Lastly to close off this thread here is Morgan’s response.

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

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

3/ I went and identified the main counterparties of 0xf3f:

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’.

1/ An investigation into how the threat actor Serpent went from a pro Fortnite player to helping steal $3.5M via meme coin scams launched from 9+ account compromises on X & IG and gambling the proceeds away at online casinos. Image
Image
Image
2/ Serpent (SerpentAU) is a former pro Fortnite player from Australia who was released from the esports organization ‘Overtime’ after being caught allegedly cheating in June 2020.

He then co-founded the NFT project DAPE in March 2022 which later rug pulled. Image
Image
3/ In March 2024 Serpent launched another project called ERROR which rug pulled and got him banned from X.

1/ Over the past few months I have been tracking a series of related compromises for McDonald’s, Usher, Kabosu Owner, Andy Ayrey, Wiz Khalifa, SPX 6900, etc on X & IG which has resulted in an estimated $3.5M+ stolen via launching Pump Fun meme coins. Image
2/ On Aug 21, 2024 the McDonald’s IG became compromised and a post was made promoting the bundled meme coin GRIMACE and the hacker began trolling after.

$690K+ from the pump and dump was consolidated to two wallets.

Image
Image
2/ A US based victim sent me a DM on Oct 7, 2024 after receiving a call from a spoofed number impersonating Coinbase support where they were coerced in to using a phishing site.

3/ An initial tracing of the theft saw all of the stolen funds flow to eXch on Ethereum and Bitcoin where funds were converted to Litecoin and transferred to numerous services. Image
