Crypto Scam – 2: Fake Investor Stealing Wallet Assets

In this secretly recorded Zoom call, fake investor “Nathaniel Lambert” introduced by Tesalia Asset Management, steals crypto assets from a wallet set up as proof-of-funds by a startup CEO.

He did this by exploiting a bug in Atomic Wallet that lets Send amount in recipient QR code override amount manually keyed in by sender and does not update US Dollar equivalent. Nathaniel is part of a gang of crypto scammers headed by “Rudolf Bouvier”, a self-declared billionaire investor. You can see Rudolf’s insistence on inspecting wallet set up as proof-of-funds in the first video.

Tesalia Asset Management (TAM) is a front for crypto scammers and has been flagged by European financial regulators; see their public warning: https://www.cssf.lu/en/2024/09/warning-concerning-the-fraudulent-activities-carried-out-by-tesalia-asset-management/
