We do not follow cryptocurrency crime too closely, we primarily discuss malware, but it occasionally overlaps with our area of focus.
Prior to Mr. Malone Lam's arrest we encountered him online. He had his arm around the shoulders of a very pretty woman while on a boat. He had no shirt on, but he kept his very expensive watch on his wrist.
He stared into the camera and said, "Get yo money up, not yo funny up". The girl giggled. He had a smirk on his face.
Today the United States Department of Justice announced the indictment (and in some cases additional charges) for 12 individuals. The defendants are charged in RICO conspiracy for over $263,000,000 in cryptocurrency theft, money laundering, and home break-ins.
Each individual listed was (in some capacity) involved in the COM(munity) scene.
This is the first time, to the best of our knowledge, a group of primarily English speaking, loosely affiliated, cybercriminals are in a RICO case.
RICO, the United States "Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act", passed in 1970, is generally reserved for organized crime. It was designed to combat organized crime and allows prosecutors to charge individuals involved in an ongoing criminal enterprise.
RICO charges are not a joke. These are extremely serious charges.
RICO charges allow multiple people to be tied to a conspiracy and amplify any/all charges. A single RICO charge is worth 20 years in Federal Prison and can extend to life in prison.
The United States Department of Justice slapping COM-scene people with a RICO charge is a sign they're not playing around with cryptocurrency fraud.
The individual indicted are as follows:
- MALONE LAM a/k/a "King Greavys", "7", "$$$", "Kg", "Anne Hathaway"
- MARLON FERRO a/k/a "Marlo", "GothFerrari"
- HAMZA DOOST a/k/a "Scyllia", "¢"
- CONOR FLANSBURG a/k/a "OO", "Green Room", "d0uu0b"
- KUNAL MEHTA a/k/a "Papa", "The Accountant", "Shrek", "Neil"
- ETHAN YARALLY a/k/a "Rand", "15%"
- CODY DEMIRTAS a/k/a "K O", "Kody"
- AAKAASH ANAND a/k/a "Light", "Dark"
- EVAN TANGEMAN a/k/a "E", "Tate", "Evan | Exchanger"
- JOEL CORTES a/k/a "J"
- [Unidentified 1] a/k/a "~_~", "Squiggly", "CHEN"
- [Unidentified 2] a/k/a "Danny", "Meech"
- TUCKER DESMOND
The full article, released by the Department of Justice, defines the roles of each individual, the charge they carry, a total sum of money stolen and/or items illegally acquired using stolen money, and additional (unlisted) co-conspirators.
Note: per the RICO charge, if the Judge rules the individual was involved in widespread fraud or violent crime, individuals may face a punishment of life in prison. Hence, each person listed may eligible for life in prison
Time being faced:
- MALONE LAM: 60 years
- MARLON FERRO: 60 years
- HAMZA DOOST: 40 years
- CONOR FLANSBURG: 40 years
- KUNAL MEHTA: 40 years
- ETHAN YARALLY: 40 years
- CODY DEMIRTAS: 40 years
- AAKAASH ANAND: 60 years
- EVAN TANGEMAN: 40 years
- JOEL CORTES: 40 years
- [Unidentified 1] - 60 years
- [Unidentified 2] - 60 years
- TUCKER DESMOND - 20 years
Coinbase confirms it's compromise (crazy story, will discuss it later). But, Coinbase is being extorted for $20,000,000
Coinbase said it won't pay the $20,000,000 and instead is offering a $20,000,000 bounty for the identification of the people involved
Smh inflation has destroyed the economy. We remember when computers were affordable

Absolutely devastated. I've been up all night crying.
I read an article which states you can screen someone as being a North Korean IT worker by requesting they say "Fuck Kim Jung Un".
I decided to test it out.
I picked up my newborn son and requested he say "Fuck Kim Jung Un". He wouldn't say it. Instead he looked to the left, to the right, and then made weird grunting noises.
I'm devastated. I had no idea my 1 month old son was actually a North Korean remote IT specialist trying to commit corporate espionage.
Parents, any idea how to handle your newborn child being a state-sponsored Threat Actor from North Korea?
Too busy, just sharing funny cat pictures. Later on this month there will be a big update if I can sneak away to the computer for an hour or so
Love you

we need someone to write a paper or tutorial on how we can make our windows workstations as invasive as possible. we want FULL analytics, all data logged, EVERYTHING!
microsoft needs our help theyre running out of money!!
Microsoft is right.
We need MORE ai in Windows 11. How am I supposed to use Notepad without AI?
We need MORE data collection. If we allow data analytics and collection, they can make us MORE safe and improve the product
Got an email from the CyberAvengers saying something Zionist baby killers something something and this is our last warning or something
Dawg, we're not even really around right now. We're busy. Also, we're not Jewish or Israeli. What the fuck are you talking about?
Wtf do you want us to do? Call Netanyahu and tell him to stop? Call Trump and tell them to stop aiding Israel? Bro, we collect MALWARE and post cat pictures on the INTERNET. Do you seriously think we have any credibility geopolitically? Idk wtf is going on geopolitically, Idek wtf is going on outside my bedroom anymore. Half the time I don't even know what day it is
There's thousands upon thousands of people and organizations and social media profiles which discuss geopolitics and actually know what's going on. Talk to them, not us
Lockbit ransomware group has been compromised. Their backend panel was dumped.
You can see my build logs in the data dump.
Lockbit gave me access after I sent him a bunch of cat pictures.
Some nerd on YouTube has made an anime for Donald J. Trump and his conflict with Xi Jinping.
The context is important. A few days ago the Chinese government stated they have found evidence which suggests COVID19 was created by the United States government. The United States government denies these allegations and asserts COVID19 was created by the Chinese government.
Anyway, here the trailer for: "Go, Trumpman 2! Lab Arc – The Sealed First Cough"
In this video 3 programmers are discussing their opinion on the West Coast of the United States.
In the midst of the argument the C++ programmer interjects and tells the other programmer to remain quiet.

Friday, May 9th, 2025, the state of Texas, in the United States, successfully secured a settlement of $1,380,000,000 against Google for privacy violations against individuals residing in Texas.
Googles settlement covers 2 claims of the 3 claims in total which Texas brought to court.
Issue 1. Google violated state biometric privacy laws by collecting end user facial data and voice scan data without user consent. The collected data was used to aid or improve targeted advertisements.
Issue 2. Google persistently tracked end users in Texas regardless if 'Incognito Mode' was enabled or not.
Google has stated these issues have already been resolved in product and in policy so no changes will be made to Google as of May 9th, 2025.
One of our colleagues picked up a strange malware payload in a Honeypot.
Can you spot the strange file?

The irony is that, from all of our outrageous posts we've made, it's the Dancing Bean meme that makes it to the Department of Justice

Admittedly, we thought it was a bit strange our newborn was 5'5 (165cm) and was fluent in Korean with a Pyongyang dialect. However, we brushed this off as a phase and a normal part of newborn development.

Many people do not know this, but the Google symbol is actually the Mark of The Beast. Many people mistake it for "666" or a Goat or Devil's Horns.
Nope, it's this:
My son is almost 1 month old.
So far he doesn't have a job, doesn't have a driver's license, doesn't have any computer certifications, hasn't been featured in any documentaries. He hasn't even TRIED to learn to code despite all the C programming books I bought him.
I sat down with him and said, "Son, it's been a whole month and you haven't done anything. How do YOU do that?!"
He then pooped his pants and squirmed around in his onesie.
Parents, do you have any advice?
If Notepad isn't 500MB from being written in C# with 200 dependencies and an embedded AI thingy, I don't want it.
