MoonPay Executive Suspected of Mistakenly Transferring $250,000 to Nigerian Scammer

According to the latest documents from the U.S. Department of Justice, MoonPay's CEO Ivan Soto-Wright and CFO Mouna Ammari Siala may have been victims of a scam, transferring over $250,000.00 $USDT to a Nigerian scammer. The scammer impersonated Steve Witkoff, co-chair of Trump's inaugural committee, using a cleverly designed deceptive email address (replacing the capital letter "I" with a lowercase letter "l") to carry out the scam. According to the Department of Justice documents, the wallet involved has been identified as being registered under the name of Ehiremen Aigbokhan in Lagos, Nigeria, and Tether has frozen approximately $40,000.00 USDT. As of press time, MoonPay has not yet responded to this incident. (The Block) [Odaily Planet Daily]
