In one instance, on August 18, 2024, Lam, Serrano, and their conspirators contacted a victim in D.C. and, through the communications with that victim, fraudulently obtained over 4,100 Bitcoin (worth over $230 million at the time).
I wonder if this is the same social engineering attack from #689065

"In one instance" for $230M
and then
"[...] with conspiracy to steal and launder over $230 million in cryptocurrency from a victim in Washington, D.C."
That doesn't read "victims".
Is the one instance the only instance?
If so, then unlikely they rented the houses, procured the vehicles, etc, within the 30 days since. Or they have the interns and/or AI writing the Press Releases.
