Crypto Con Artist: The Hilarious Tale of a Fraudster’s Wild Ride! 😂💰

What to know:

  • According to our favorite blockchain detective, ZachXBT, the mystery trader who raked in millions is none other than William Parker, a convicted fraudster who swiped $1 million from two casinos in 2023. Talk about a high-stakes game of Monopoly! 🎲
  • On-chain data reveals that this wallet was more social than a cat meme on the internet, interacting with several crypto casinos. 🐱‍👤
  • Our buddy Parker decided to go long on BTC just before Donald Trump announced a U.S. strategic crypto reserve. Coincidence? I think not! 🤔

In a plot twist worthy of a Mel Brooks film, a mysterious crypto trader who made millions trading derivatives this year has been unmasked as William Parker, a convicted fraudster, thanks to the sleuthing skills of ZachXBT. 🕵️‍♂️

Parker made a jaw-dropping $6.8 million on one position after going long on BTC right before Trump’s big announcement. Then, like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, he flipped the script and made another $9 million going short as the price pump did a nosedive. 🎩🐇

All his positions were on 50x leverage—because why not live dangerously? It’s like playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun! 💣

It seems high-risk gambling was Parker’s specialty, as on-chain data suggests his wallet was a regular at Roobet, Gamdom, Shuffle, BC Game, and Metawin—basically the Las Vegas of crypto casinos! 🎰

But wait, there’s more! The wallet linked to these trades was also the drainer fee receiver on a phishing website in January, raking in $17.1K from a phishing draining customer. ZachXBT is really earning his detective badge! 🏅

The investigation took a wild turn into a Solana wallet that was the first to interact with Parker’s wallet. This wallet made withdrawals from four casinos after an input validation exploit on a casino game. Talk about a jackpot! 💸

ZachXBT reached out to these casinos, and they handed over a Telegram account of the user. Turns out, this trader was multitasking—active on-chain while chatting about derivatives trading on Telegram. A true multitasker! 📱

But ZachXBT wasn’t done yet! He found a payment sent by the trader to an unnamed person on the HyperLiquid exchange, which led to the discovery of a phone number linked to our favorite fraudster, William Parker. 📞

Last year, Parker was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in jail in Finland for stealing $1 million from two casinos in 2023. And let’s not forget his previous stint in the U.K. for multiple fraud charges related to hacking and gambling. A real overachiever! 🏆
