"Crypto security firm Ancilia landed itself in hot water after accidentally sharing a link pointing to a crypto wallet drainer in an attempt to aid users who lost funds in a $52 million exploit of lending protocol Radiant Capital.
Radiant Capital users were rushing to revoke permissions to prevent their funds from being stolen after the lending protocol was hacked on Oct. 16. The attackers made off with about $51.5 million in funds.
Pseudonymous crypto commentator Spreek shared a screenshot of Ancilia’s now-deleted post, which re-posted what they said was a “scam link” from an imposter Radiant X account.
Ancilia instructed Radiant Capital users trying to revoke their permissions on the exploited protocol to “please follow the link from this official message.”
The link led to a wallet drainer that would have siphoned the funds of any user who clicked on it and accepted the permissions. "

FBI reports Americans lost $5.6B to cryptocurrency fraud in 2023
The elderly were the most vulnerable, and crypto ATMs have a variety of illicit uses, the report found.
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Internet Crime Complaint Center has released its cryptocurrency fraud report for 2023. Americans lost $5.6 billion due to cryptocurrency fraud that year, up 45% from 2022, it said. Crypto-related complaints represented 10% of the total received, but almost 50% of the total lost that year, the FBI said.
The report found that of the 69,000 crypto-related complaints the FBI received in 2023, people over 60 were most often victimized, accounting for almost $1.6 billion of the losses. Almost 71% of the crypto fraud was related to investment schemes, and about 10% involved call center fraud and government impersonation scams.
Money stolen through crypto confidence schemes
The FBI received complaints from over 200 countries, but the vast majority of complaints and losses were from the United States. Many of the losses were the result of confidence schemes. The FBI had one main piece of advice to avoid this type of scam:
“There is one thing these scammers typically will not do — they will not meet with you in real life. If an investment opportunity comes from someone who you have never met in person […] be extremely cautious of the advice.”

Mango Markets Exploiter Avi Eisenberg Found Guilty of Fraud and Manipulation
Eisenberg faces up to 20 years in prison for his $110 million heist.
A Manhattan jury has found crypto trader Avi Eisenberg guilty of fraud and market manipulation for his $110 million heist from decentralized finance protocol Mango Markets in October 2022.
Eisenberg was arrested in Puerto Rico in December 2022 and charged with commodities fraud, commodities manipulation, and wire fraud for the scheme. He will be sentenced on July 29 by New York District Court Judge Arun Subramanian. Eisenberg faces up to 20 years in federal prison for his crimes.
“This ground-breaking prosecution epitomizes this office’s ability to employ innovative methods and cutting-edge law enforcement tools to continue to protect all financial markets," said Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, in a Thursday press statement. "The career prosecutors of this office continue their expertise in prosecuting financial fraud, one of our core priorities, and would-be financial criminals should think twice before daring to engage in illicit conduct on our watch.”

"The government on Friday rested in its case against cryptocurrency trader Avraham Eisenberg, who is facing fraud charges.
Driving the news: Prosecutors presented very strong arguments that the defendant had a good idea he was committing a crime over a year ago, when he managed to extract over $100 million from Mango Markets.
Why it matters: In a fraud case, the government has to not only show that the defendant committed a crime, but that they were aware that what they were doing was against the law.
Catch up fast: Eisenberg is on trial in Federal Court in Manhattan for engaging in a trade where he was able to withdraw all the capital on Solana-based Mango Markets on October 11, 2022, using a derivate of the mango (MNGO) token as collateral.
After inflating the token with strategic purchases on various exchanges, he used the inflated value of a MNGO derivative as collateral to borrow all the available deposits on the platform, over $100 million worth.
Then he withdrew those funds to a wallet he controlled, and let his loan default."

WOOFi Lost $8 Million in Hack on Its Arbitrum Lending Market
"WOOFi, a decentralized exchange, suffered significant financial losses due to an exploit in its Arbitrum lending market, as revealed by the company on Wednesday.
The exploit, identified by several blockchain security firms, including PeckShield, Hypernative, and Chainalysis, involved flash loan attacks targeting WOOFi Swap on Arbitrum around 15:49 UTC on March 5.
In response, WOOFi swiftly halted the affected contracts at approximately 16:02 UTC and initiated an investigation revealed in a report detailing the incident, which was subsequently released on March 6.
The hacker manipulated the sPMM algorithm, which is responsible for setting prices on Arbitrum-based WOOFiSwaps. This manipulation occurred after borrowing 7.7 million WOO tokens and “some other assets.”
The company stated, “At this point WOOFi’s sPMM incorrectly adjusted WOO to an extreme price which was close to zero, and the exploiter then swapped out 10M WOO in the same transaction with almost no cost. The exploiter repeated this attack 3 times within a very short period of time, which netted about $8.75m in profits after returning the flash loans.”"
