ZachXBT Exposes YouTuber Blue’s Alleged Involvement in Crypto Scams
Cryptocurrency investigator ZachXBT has revealed evidence suggesting that YouTuber Blue, also known as Jack, has been involved in multiple crypto scams, resulting in the theft of over $1.5 million. Here are the key points of the investigation:
– Blue, who gained popularity through gaming and trolling videos, allegedly transitioned into crypto scams in 2021.
– A leaked post from Blue’s Snapchat connected him to the Ethereum ENS address cool-breeze.eth, which was linked to the purchase of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT.
– Zach discovered that a significant portion of the stolen funds, around 85 ETH, was traced back to addresses associated with Monkey Drainer phishing scams.
– Monkey Drainer, a notorious crypto drainer responsible for thefts totaling up to $24 million, advised its clients to use a rival drainer named Venom.
– Blue boasted about his scams and the BAYC NFT purchase on Discord, even providing instructions to others on scamming methods.
Furthermore, Zach uncovered evidence of Blue’s extravagant spending, including luxury watches, cars, and Roblox items, all funded by the stolen assets. Blue’s primary method involved spamming on Twitter using verified accounts. Two specific victims were mentioned:
– User @g13m lost approximately $213,000 worth of ETH and USDT to a fake Doodles NFT site, with Blue pocketing 49 ETH and $74,000 in USDT.
– User @ystrickler had Milady and Squiggle NFTs phished, resulting in a loss of around 12 ETH. Blue received 10.3 ETH after paying the drainer fee.
Zach expressed disgust at the lack of remorse shown by these phishing scammers and reassured victims that additional information about Blue has been shared to aid in legal action.
