[PaySafeKaart 8]

A 23-year-old scammer from Brooklyn, Ronald Spector, pulled off a large-scale scheme: posing as a Coinbase support employee, he tricked trusting users into transferring cryptocurrency to "secure" wallets under his control, stealing approximately $16 million. He laundered the money through mixers and exchanges but made one fatal mistake—an irresistible urge for public recognition. 📢

Spector regularly and meticulously boasted about his "exploits" and earnings on Telegram, turning the messenger into a platform for digital vanity. It was these very messages, full of overconfidence and details of the crimes, that became the key evidence for the investigation. He was arrested just hours after another boastful post. 🔍

About 100 people were affected by his actions, though some of the stolen funds have already been recovered. This story serves as a clear lesson: in the age of digital footprints, even the most sophisticated scam can collapse due to a simple desire to show off. 💸→🚓
