Notorious Crypto Thief Targets XRP, Ethereum, and SHIB—Including George Jones’ Widow in Heist
Notorious Crypto Thief Targets XRP, Ethereum, and SHIB—Including George Jones’ Widow in Heist
13

Crypto crime takes a dark turn as alleged thief expands portfolio—from XRP to Ethereum and even meme-coin SHIB. The latest victim? The widow of country legend George Jones.
How the heist unfolded:
Forget banks—this digital bandit bypassed security protocols like a DeFi ninja, swiping assets across multiple chains. No safe (or hardware wallet) seems sacred anymore.
The irony? While Wall Street debates crypto regulation, thieves are already 'financial innovators'—liquidating assets faster than a hedge fund margin call.
