A personal story about a cousin who suddenly had money and was identified through on-chain investigation.
A friend of mine was drained of over $5,000 in crypto by his own cousin. It happened during Eid celebration day when the extended family gathered at their family house. My friend was busy that day and had left his phone in his room. His cousin sneaked in
unlocked the phone, accessed the crypto wallet, and transferred all the assets out. He did it cleanly no one noticed at the time. Afterward, my friend was devastated. He tried tracing the wallet but initially came up empty.
