EXPOSED: Nigerian Scammer Impersonating Trump Ally Steve Witkoff Swindles $250K in Crypto From Political Donor
Crypto's dark underbelly strikes again—this time with a political twist. A fraudster posing as real estate mogul and Trump confidant Steve Witkoff just vacuumed a quarter-million dollars from an unsuspecting donor's digital wallet. Here's how the heist went down.
The Bait: High-profile political connections proved irresistible bait. The scammer dangled Witkoff's name like catnip for MAGA-aligned crypto holders.
The Switch: Classic social engineering meets Web3. One fake contract later, and those funds evaporated faster than a meme coin's liquidity.
The Aftermath: Another case study in crypto's golden rule: trust nothing, verify everything. Especially when 'political allies' come begging for digital donations.
Funny how these 'Nigerian princes' keep upgrading their tactics—from email scams to six-figure crypto cons. Maybe they're hedging against inflation too.
