The face behind an alleged $650,000 UK crypto scam that was documented in detail by ZachXBT today has been revealed by a user on X (formerly Twitter).

X user Padrino revealed a photo of the alleged scammer while asking if they’re “Ready to go to prison?” They posted screenshots of the individual while they appeared on a webcam.

ZachXBT has confirmed that the individual is indeed the alleged scammer, telling Protos that footage of the individual was recorded during a video call and that a photo of his face was shared with Padrino.

Audio from the call was shared here in ZachXBT’s thread. The crypto sleuth claimed the man stole crypto from over 250 individuals by promising a paid trading service that was promoted with screenshots of fake, lucrative trades.

Victims were coaxed into sending $250-$500 first, then, after being told their profits had skyrocketed, the victims were pressured into sending another $20,000 to claim their supposedly locked funds.

It is suspected that the figure for victim losses is larger than $650,000 and that the alleged scammer is in the UK and not in Singapore as they claim.

ZachXBT said, “It is sad to watch this scammer take advantage of so many desperate people and newbies looking for a win. Hopefully this info will assist law enforcement in further identifying the scammer.” 

Another crypto scam group was infiltrated by ZachXBT this month, where the scammers were filmed celebrating the theft of over $238 million.
