Singaporean pleads guilty in $240M BTC theft case

A 22-year-old Singaporean is set to plead guilty in what authorities describe as one of the largest crypto theft cases in the U.S. The scammers posed as Google and Gemini support to trick an investor into handing over $240 million in bitcoin, according to CoinDesk.

• The plea marks a resolution in a major social-engineering heist that used fake support channels to convince the victim to surrender funds.
