Singapore-Born Man Pleads Guilty to $245 Million Bitcoin Theft
Malone Lam, a 22-year-old Singapore-born defendant, pleaded guilty on September 1 in Washington, D. C. , to a federal racketeering conspiracy that stole about $245 million in bitcoin and laundered the proceeds, federal prosecutors said. Prosecutors had earlier indicated that Lam, who led a group that used social-engineering tactics to trick a single investor, was expected to enter a plea agreement.
The scheme involved transferring the stolen cryptocurrency and using the funds to purchase luxury goods, according to U. S. authorities.
