1/ Here’s a thread on some of the public figures in the Web 3 space that deserve large fines and potentially jail time for creating or promoting multiple crypto/NFT scams.

1 @FloydMayweather
2 @jakepaul
3 @souljaboy
4 @lindsaylohan
5 @jayalvarrez
6 @lilyachty
7 @LoganPaul
2/ Floyd himself has created two NFT projects @Mayweverse & @RealFloydNFT. Both projects turned out to be rugs with Floyd pocketing $5.2m in the process.

I still remember when he DM’d me to takedown my warning people about Mayweverse prior to launch.

3/ Floyd has also promoted multiple scams/pump and dumps to his followers leaving them in financial ruin.

Ethereum Max (currently being sued)
?

Bored Bunny ($21.1m NFT rug)


RSMoonshot:


And more! ImageImageImage
4/ Jake Paul himself had a $1.5m NFT rug called StickDix

He’s also promoted rugs like Safemoon

Animoon $6.3m Rug

BoredBunny $21.1m Rug


Yummy SacredDevils, ApesInSpace, & more for $$$ ImageImageImage
5/ SouljaBoy is another name who has promoted countless scams.

Safemoon (currently being sued)


Safer Mars


And countless others ImageImageImageImage
6/ Lindsay Lohan has promoted many crypto scams and NFTs undisclosed at $20k-35k per tweet

Daughter Doge:


CanineCartel


MetaNetflix: ImageImageImage
7/ JayAlvarrez an Instagram/YT influencer, over the past year turned into a paid shill for crypto/NFT rugs. ImageImageImageImage
8/ LilYachty has promoted multiple crypot rugs such as

RapDoge


Yummy (see photo 4)

Yachty Coin ($1.2m rug)

Safemoon (currently being sued)
ImageImageImageImage
9/ Then we have Logan Paul with his slow rug NFT projects Dink Doink/Crypto Zoo.



He’s also promoted scams such as Elongate, F**kElon, EthereumMax all the while dumping on his followers. ImageImageImage
10/ We recently saw Nate, the former OS employee charged for wire fraud & money laundering after profiting 19 ETH

I consider this very tame relative to what we’ve seen others do. Hopefully we’ll begin to see action taken against some of the more prominent bad actors in the space

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
