Crypto Heist Mastermind Caught | Dayton News

A 22-year-old crypto heist mastermind named Malone Lam, operating under aliases like “Anne Hathaway” and “$$$,” just confessed to orchestrating a $245 million digital robbery — pulling off scams, home invasions, and a global crew spanning states and countries. Over 18 months, the gang lavished stolen crypto on luxury watches, exotic cars, private jets, designer gear, and wild clubbing sprees — including a single night’s $500K blowout. Arrested in Miami in September 2025, Lam faces an uncertain sentencing date, with a December 2026 status hearing looming. The FBI and IRS are still hunting accomplices — proving that even in the digital age, greed and deception still pay off… until they don’t.
