Two suspects were arrested for an alleged coordinated cryptocurrency theft that stole more than 4,100 BTC (over $230M) from a Washington, D.C. victim; attackers used spoofed support calls, 2FA resets, and AnyDesk remote access to obtain private keys, then laundered proceeds through mixers, exchanges, peel chains and VPNs before spending on luxury items—OPSEC mistakes and transaction tracing led to their identification and arrest.
