A multi-defendant RICO crypto-heist is described in which attackers allegedly stole over 4,100 BTC (~$230M) from a Genesis creditor by using spoofed phone numbers, impersonation of support staff, social-engineering to reset 2FA, and AnyDesk remote access to obtain private keys; conspirators (including Evan Tangeman and others) laundered funds via mixers, exchanges, peel chains, pass-through wallets, and VPNs, financing lavish lifestyles and leading to arrests, guilty pleas, and prison sentences.
