Ukrainian Police Shut Down Crypto Scam Stealing Up to $1 Million Monthly, Identifying 62 Victims Across Over 20 Countries
Ukrainian authorities, including the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), have dismantled a network of fake investment platforms that allegedly stole up to $1 million per month from users in over 20 countries. The scam used a crypto "drainer" hidden in websites to automatically transfer funds after users connected their main crypto wallets for what appeared to be small test transactions. Investigators have identified 62 victims and over 46 Ukrainian citizens involved in the operation. Police seized over 100 computers, phones, SIM cards, and vehicles during searches in Kyiv and the surrounding region.
