In 2023, Horst Jicha shook the crypto world. A coding genius, they say. He launched CryptoVault, promising secure profits in BTC and ETH. Too good to be true, right?



Jicha was clever. He hid a trap in the code. Gradually, he drained users' wallets. A silent theft. In the end, he took 1,774 BTC and 28,589 ETH. A fortune.

Many fell for it. Small investors, large companies, even a fund from Singapore. All attracted by that 25% annual Yield. Sounds tempting.

Then came money laundering. Monero, Zcash, Tornado Cash. Jicha had everything planned out. It seems he knew exactly what to do.

He was caught in Miami. House arrest, ankle monitor. It seemed like the end, but it wasn't. One day, poof, he disappeared. A homemade EMP. Clever, really.

Now he's somewhere else. Maybe on a beach, maybe with a different face. Interpol is after him, but it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.

This story is a lesson. Beware of incredible promises. And those smart contracts... better review them carefully. Oh, and ankle monitors... well, we see they’re not foolproof.
