      tldr; A scammer posing as a Coinbase support agent has stolen over $2 million from crypto traders, according to blockchain investigator ZachXBT. The fraudster, identified as a Canadian individual known as ‘Haby’ or ‘Havard,’ used social engineering to trick victims into approving wallet transfers. The stolen funds were spent on luxury services, gambling, and rare social media usernames. On-chain analysis and operational mistakes linked the suspect to the crimes. No charges have been announced, and Coinbase has not commented on the case.

      Could be washing it through gambling. Uses legit funds to bet on something then uses stolen funds to hedge on other side of the same bet.

      If legit money wins he just washed bad money. If the bad money wins he has more to wash.

      I find it hard to believe someone scams for $2m then loses it.
