A Canadian named Dan, who goes by “Soup” online, made more than $1 million through various phishing scams targeting Discord projects including those belonging to the Pika Protocol and Orbiter Finance. In one scam, he impersonated crypto journalist Luke Hamilton, trying to convince victims to join a fake Decrypt Discord server so he could steal their credentials.
Soup was exposed by crypto sleuth zachxbt, who also described how the scammer had spent some of his ill-gotten funds on exclusive Roblox items that sell for “high 5 figs”.
