A social engineering scam in the United States resulted in the theft of 3,520 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at approximately $330 million, from an elderly American victim. The stolen Bitcoin was laundered through six different cryptocurrency exchanges before being converted into Monero (XMR). This conversion caused a 50% spike in Monero's price due to thin liquidity in the market. The incident has raised concerns about crypto privacy and the vulnerability of certain individuals to targeted scams.
