    Web3’s Sherlock Holmes Accuses Minor Influencer For Sol Scam

    By MicahMay 4, 2022Updated:September 20, 20223 Mins Read

    Web3’s favorite sleuth is back with another crypto case, exposing what happened to a recent Sol scam. ZachXBT (@zachxbt on Twitter), followed the crypto trail and connected it to a minor influencer.

    Recent Sol Scam: What Happened

    The scam happened when Twitter user @0x_fxnction said his wallet was compromised and he lost $240k or 2349 SOL. The crypto detective then posted a thread on how he traced the funds, recovered some of them, and found out that @CryptoNoah_ may have been involved.

    According to zachxbt, the ones behind the attack deposited the SOL funds to multiple wallets. Then the suspect swapped the SOL for 40 ETH & 102,000 DAI and deposited it into Tornado. Minutes later, an address withdrew the exact amount of ETH & DAI from Tornado.

    The hacker subsequently began moving around the funds. They swapped them for USDC. The address then received ETH from ChangeNOW and transferred $50k to LocalCoinSwap. The web3 detective then reached out to both platforms.

    Although it’s too late for ChangeNOW to reverse or freeze the transaction, the LocalCoinSwap was able to freeze at least $50k of the stolen funds. After this, zachxbt, looked into the addresses connected to the hacker’s address. He said one of them belongs to Crypto Noah (@CryptoNoah_ on Twitter).

    Minor Influencer’s Wallet Connected to Hacker’s Address

    According to zachxbt, Crypto Noah is an influencer who made $29,000,000 pumping and dumping meme coins. He notably made 8 figures off of Saitama. In addition, he also held nearly 3% of the supply and would make bullish tweets while dumping 6 figures worth of tokens a day.

    So what’s the connection? Noah’s public wallet also sent a total of $4.1m worth of crypto to a wallet beginning at 0x7e. Then 0x7e sent the Sol scam’s hacker address $460k worth of crypto.

    However, when asked for a comment, Noah said that it is his wallet but the transactions were for a different thing. He said he got scammed while trying to do an Amazon warehouse investment. But zachxbt thinks he is not telling the truth because the influencer is unable to provide messages, a police report, or a legal contract as proof. In addition, other instances also tie his wallet to the hacker’s address.

    Finally, zachxbt said that he communicated with the FBI for further investigation.
