1/ Let’s breakdown the $6.3m NFT rug Animoon, a project that has constantly screwed over its holders since day 1. ImageImage
2/ The pfp NFT project was a collection of 9,999 NFTs @ 0.2 ETH advertised as a P2E game with utility such as large giveaways, breeding, irl trips, & more.

After almost 5 months nothing has been delivered. Yet another rug promoted by Jake Paul. ImageImageImageImage
3/ Funny enough Animoon claims to have an NDA signed with Pokémon.

Why would Pokémon associate their IP with a low effort project and sketchy team that has zero background in gaming. Not to mention the art is a blatant rip off. ImageImage
4/ Not long after launch the team begins to act very distant making announcements/appearing in chat every 3-4 weeks.

Meanwhile the $6.3m has been transferred away to Binance & Kucoin exchange accounts.

breadcrumbs.app/reports/1934 Image
5/ In March 100 holders were supposed to receive Jordan shoes, another 100 holders to receive off white shirts, and another 50 holders to receive supreme shirts.

Yet it’s now June and no one has received anything. ImageImageImageImage
6/ As advertised the 15 Legendary NFT holders were supposed to received $2.5k every month for life from the public wallet.

There’s no evidence from either public wallet these have been sent out. ImageImage
7/ In April the team changed it so Legendary holders now receive a % of the revenue from the P2E game.

Nonetheless this change didn’t ever get approval from legendary holders screwing them over.

Keep in mind their has been zero proof of this P2E game even being developed. Image
8/ Fast forward to early May and the team now claims to be working with Bandai Namco (Digimon)

Once again there is zero proof.

I DM’d BN on Twitter but am still waiting to hear back. ImageImage
9/ At this point the Twitter account for Animoon is gone, the website isn’t functional, and general chat has been removed from the Discord ImageImageImage
10/ The two founders behind Animoon used the names @maximadam_ & @marc_blata (not their real names).

Maxim’s bio claims to be a “NFT expert since 2013”

Both happen to post pics flexing in Dubai on Instagram. ImageImageImageImage
11/ I then went to look at wallet that corresponds with the BAYC in Maxim’s PFP.

It’s very clear @maximadam_ doesn’t own the NFT and is impersonating @OGDeathBot so I DM him.

He makes a tweet then what do you know @maximadam_ deletes his Twitter and goes private on insta. ImageImage
12/ To verify @maximadam_ real wallet I look at his recent Tweets and see he has purchased an NFT.

The address that purchased that NFT of course is none other than the one who deployed the Animoon contract. ImageImageImageImage
12/ So who are the actual names of the founders behind Animoon?

Over the past few week the French rapper @booba has been relentless going after founders for all their different schemes.

It is revealed they are Mounir Mokaddem & Singainy Marc Oceane
13/ It’s quite comedic at all the different partnerships the Animoon founders claim to have and all the things they’ve failed to deliver on.

They currently reside in Dubai. If you were a victim you can file a report here.

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
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.

Image
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
