Key Points:
Dubbed “Leaper Finance on Blast,” the group injected approximately $1 million, garnered through previous fraudulent activities, into liquidity pools. Their modus operandi involves letting Total Value Locked (TVL) soar into seven figures before absconding with users’ deposited funds, aided by falsified KYC documents and low-tier audit firms.
Expanding their reach, the crypto scam group has launched scams across various blockchain platforms, including Base, Solana, Scroll, Optimism, Arbitrum, Ethereum, and Avalanche. These scams, akin to traditional fraud, target unsuspecting investors, coercing them to divulge personal information or transfer digital assets to the scammers’ accounts.
In response to the escalating threat of crypto scams, tech giant Google has taken unprecedented legal action. Google filed a lawsuit against a group of crypto scammers accused of defrauding over 100,000 individuals worldwide through fraudulent investment and crypto exchange apps on Google Play.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants misrepresented their identities, locations, and the nature of their applications to deceive Google.
This legal move by Google comes amidst findings from a Chainalysis report indicating a decrease in crypto-related crime in 2023 compared to the previous year, with $24.2 billion worth of crypto-assets traced to illicit addresses, constituting a mere 0.34% of total on-chain transaction volume.
