Crypto Scammer Loses Millions After Buying Hardware Wallets Packed With Spy Chips

Some enterprising digital con artist managed to rake in millions through fake job scams, only to watch over $4.9 million in bitcoin vanish because they bought compromised Ledger wallets from a sketchy reseller. Down here in Baja, we respect the hustle and irony of a thief getting robbed by an even shadier electronics dealer while sipping a Pacifico. Frankly, local fishermen have more reliable accounting methods scrawled on the back of a greasy fish taco wrapper than these hardware wallet aficionados.
