The group operated through a scheme known as the EXW Wallet, using the stolen funds to finance a lavish lifestyle that included luxury cars and private jets. The convictions highlight ongoing issues in the cryptocurrency space, where scams continue to target unsuspecting investors. Separately, a Russian influencer, known as the 'Queen of Crypto,' is accused of scamming over $22 million, allegedly claiming the funds were for supporting the Ukrainian military. Her actions have drawn significant attention, particularly given the geopolitical context of the ongoing conflict.
