đšđ° INDIAN MAN GUILTY OF CRYPTO HEIST: $9.5M STOLEN! đ»đ
An Indian citizen, Chirag Tomar, has pleaded guilty to U.S. charges of creating a fake Coinbase website, swindling over $9.5 million in cryptocurrency from hundreds of victims. đ±đž
Tomar, 30, was nabbed at the Atlanta airport in Dec. 2023, charged with wire fraud and money laundering. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years behind bars. đâïž
Initially flagged by Seamus Hughes of CourtWatch, Tomar's scheme involved duping users into handing over their Coinbase login info via a spoofed Coinbase Pro website. Over 542 victims were scammed between June 2021 and late 2023. đ”ïžââïžđ»
Court docs reveal Tomar's careless trail, including using his real name in emails, maintaining victim spreadsheets, and even searching for scam methods. đđŒ
Despite facing sentencing, Tomar flaunted his ill-gotten gains, splurging on luxury watches, cars, and jet-setting to global destinations. đâïž
