The scammers “earned” so much money that they didn’t know where to spend it.
In the UK, a gang of scammers was exposed, who, using a scheme with cryptocurrency stole £22 million worth of bitcoins. The attackers stole so much money that they began to distribute funds right on the street and bought cars for strangers from pubs.

James Parker, along with four accomplices, came up with a scheme to illegally withdraw money from a crypto exchange. The attackers stole a total of 22 million pounds of shotguns. The inhabitants of Great Britain became so rich that they did not know where else to put the stolen goods. So they started handing out £5,000 certificates on the street. Gang leader James Parker once bought strangers from a pub a car each.

Also, one of the gang members bought an elite estate from the Russians. In general, the police seized elite watches, real estate and cars from the attackers, which they managed to purchase for the stolen funds.
“The scale of the scam in this case is staggering and resulted in the suspects literally having more money than they could spend. I would like to give credit to all the agencies that worked closely to bring these people to justice,” said Sergeant David Wainwright of Lancashire Police Fraud Unit.
The organizer of the gang did not live to see the trial and died in 2021. The remaining four members of the group were sentenced from one year of probation to six years in prison.
Recall that a family with three children was disappointed in civilization and moved to live in the jungle.
