Two men have been arrested by the FBI and CHARGED in relation to their alleged involvement in a scam which saw almost a quarter of a billion dollars worth of cryptocurrency stolen from a single victim.

 

20-year-old Malone Lam of Miami, and Jeandiel Serrano, 21, of Los Angeles, are charged with conspiring to steal and launder 3,100 Bitcoin (worth over $230 million) from a victim in Washington DC in August 2024.

 

Lam, a citizen of Singapore who, according to the US Department of Justice, uses the online handles “Anne Hathaway” and “$$$,” and Serrano, who uses the monikers “VersaceGod” and “@SkidStar,” were arrested last week.
Videos posted on social media showed armed FBI officers raid a property in Miami, seizing luxury cars.

 

Lam and Serrano are accused with conspiring with others to steal cryptocurrency and then launder their ill-gotten gains through exchanges and mixing services. Reports have suggested that the heist began on August 19, 2024, when the men allegedly contacted their intended victim by posing as Google Support and using a spoofed telephone number Having tricked the victim into sharing their screen, the hackers were allegedly able to steal the investor’s private keys The victim was supposedly tricked into resetting the 2FA used to protect their cryptocurrency wallet, and funds were sent into a wallet under the control of the attackers.

 

According to the authorities, the arrested duo hoped to disguise their activities through the use of VPNs, pass-through wallets, VPNs, and peel chains (a technique for launder large amounts of cryptocurrency by breaking down a large amount into numerous smaller transactions, making it harder to track the fund’s original source and ultimate destination).

 

The indictment claims that Lam and Serrano spent the laundered proceeds on international travel, nightclubs, luxury cars, watches, jewelry, designer handbags, and rental homes in Los Angeles and Miami.

 

Cryptocurrency investigator ZachXBT has posted a lengthy thread on Twitter detailing what appears to have been highly sloppy operational security by Lam and Serrano.

 

Astonishingly, it appears that the scammers chose to record themselves on a group chat as they committed a massive heist.

 

If guilty of the charges, the duo’s lack of care may explain, in part, the speed at which the authorities were able to arrest those they suspected of stealing almost a quarter of a billion dollars.

 

As ZachXBT details, Lam was in the habit of giving away free designer handbags to girls at clubs – seemingly in an attempt to win their hearts.

 

One luxury handbag recipient, food blogger and podcaster Skylar Harrison, posted a video on TikTok describing her experience. Harrison also said that she saw the man who gifted her the handbag buy “hundreds of bottles of champagne.”

 

One acquaintance of Lam was even apparently gifted a pink Lamborghini as well as three Birkin bags.

 

Living the high life, spending $500,000 on a night out in LA and Miami clubs, and giving away designer handbags to random girls appears to be no guarantee that you’ll actually be able to get a girlfriend.

🔥 BREAKING: Late-Night ERUPTS Into Chaos as Trump LOSES IT After Jimmy Kimmel & Rosie O’Donnell UNLEASH Savage LIVE TV Double Roast — Old Feud EXPLODES Back Into Public View 🚨 What started as a routine late-night segment suddenly spiraled into full-blown televised carnage, as Jimmy Kimmel and Rosie O’Donnell appeared to revive their long-simmering clashes with Donald Trump in real time. The jokes cut sharper than usual, the tone veering from satire into something that felt openly confrontational.

Insiders allege he lashed out, demanding both comedians be “cancelled,” even as clips from the segment exploded across social media within minutes. Supporters called it disrespectful; critics called it overdue. Either way, the spectacle reignited an old feud with fresh intensity — turning late-night TV into a political battleground and leaving Trump once again scrambling to control a narrative that had already slipped out of his hands. ⚡

🚨JUST 5 MINUTES AGO: Trump ERUPTS as Congress DEMANDS His Resignation — Washington Thrown Into Turmoil 💥 Washington is reeling after a bipartisan group of 47 members of Congress publicly called for Donald Trump’s immediate resignation, triggering a political firestorm across Capitol Hill. The catalyst: a leaked classified memo that alleges Trump interfered with active U.S. military operations for personal political gain. According to multiple reports, the memo claims Trump ordered delays in critical defense authorizations until certain senior military leaders agreed to appear at campaign events and publicly endorse him. Members of the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees reviewed the memo inside a secure facility and emerged saying the evidence, if verified, raises serious national security concerns. The moment that stunned Capitol Hill came when Republican committee chairman Michael McCaul took the House floor and read the resignation demand aloud, saying he could not remain silent while U.S. security was allegedly being put at risk. Legal experts from across the political spectrum warn the allegations, if proven, could constitute a grave abuse of power and potentially criminal conduct. Trump responded with furious denials, dismissing the reports as a hoax and lashing out at Republicans who broke ranks. But with members of his own party now driving the criticism, comparisons to Watergate are growing louder— —and the political fallout appears to be only beginning… 👉 See the full breakdown before this moment slips away.👇👇

Minneapolis ICE S.h.o.o.t.i.n.g Sparks Fiery Debate: Was Deadly Force Necessary or a Tragic Overreach? The recent ICE s.h.o.o.t/ing in Minneapolis, where a 37-year-old woman was fatally shot during a protest, has sparked widespread debate and strong reactions. Stephen A. Smith, hosting his first show of 2026 on SiriusXM, delivers an immediate and nuanced take on the incident. While acknowledging that the ICE officer was legally justified in using lethal force after the woman allegedly tried to drive off with officers around her vehicle, Smith questions whether deadly force was necessary. He suggests alternative options like sh.o.o.t.ing the tires could have been employed to avoid loss of life. The incident has further exposed the deep political and social divides surrounding law enforcement, immigration enforcement, and sanctuary city policies. Smith highlights contrasting responses from federal and local officials, including the Department of Homeland Security labeling the act as domestic terrorism, while Minnesota’s governor and Minneapolis mayor push back against federal involvement. The discussion also touches on broader issues such as crime rates in Minneapolis, the role of sanctuary policies, and the political implications for upcoming elections. Smith urges listeners to reflect on the kind of country they want to live in amid these tensions and previews upcoming guests who will offer diverse perspectives on related national security and political topics
