Monkey Drainer Scammers Steal $4.3M Unintentionally Unidentified During Argument

Key Points:

  • According to CertiK, Monkey Drainer scammers mentioned their pseudonyms during a blockchain messaging debate.
  • This may have revealed their true identities.
  • CertiK deduced that the shared wallet was the address that received $4.3 million in stolen crypto.
Blockchain security team CertiK believes they have discovered the true identity of at least one of the Monkey Drainer scammers suspected of being involved in the $4.3 million scam.

Reportedly, Monkey Drainer scammers uses intelligent contracts to steal NFTs through “Ice Phishing.” So far, the individuals or groups behind the scam have stolen millions of dollars worth of Ethereum through malicious clone NFT mining sites.

In a blog post, CertiK said it had discovered online messages between two scammers related to the recent $4.3 million Porsche NFT scam and possibly linked one of the scammers to the Telegram account involved in the sale of Monkey Drainer – stylish scam kits.

The Monkey Drainer scammers are said to have used telegrams to keep in touch, and they recently mentioned their pseudonyms during a blockchain messaging debate.

One of the messages shows a person claiming to be “Zentoh” and calling the person who stole the NFT “Kai”. Zentoh seems unhappy that Kai didn’t send some of the stolen money. A message from Zentoh instructs Kai to send the stolen money to their address.

Zentoh seems very upset with Kai for not sending part of the stolen funds. Messages from Zentoh directing Kai to send the ill-gotten gains “at our address.”

CertiK found an exact match for the pseudonym on the messaging app and determined it was “running a Telegram group selling phishing kits to scammers.”

The company found many other accounts online that could be linked to Zentoh, including one on GitHub that posted repositories for cryptocurrency withdrawals.

If the links between the accounts are legitimate, it would reveal the identity of a French citizen living in Russia.
