Mastermind of $243 Million Theft Case Suspected to Be Arrested, $18.58 Million in Assets Frozen

2025-12-05 06:20:19

[Crypto World] On-chain detective zachxbt’s latest monitoring shows that a name once at the center of a shocking crypto scandal has resurfaced—Danny/Meech, real name Danish Zulfiqar Khan. This notorious threat actor is suspected to have been apprehended, with law enforcement currently tallying his crypto assets.

At present, $18.58 million in digital assets have been locked in address 0xb37d617716e46511E56FE07b885fBdD70119f768. Reviewing this individual’s “track record” is truly alarming: in August last year, he conspired with Malone, Veer, Chen, and Jeandiel to orchestrate the infamous Genesis creditor theft, involving as much as $243 million. Going back to August 2023, he participated in the Kroll SIM swap attack, which resulted in the massive leak of personal information belonging to BlockFi, Genesis, and FTX creditors, causing over $300 million in losses.

Several addresses linked to zachxbt’s ongoing investigations suddenly began consolidating funds into the 0xb37d address a few hours ago—a pattern highly consistent with law enforcement asset seizures. It seems this “mastermind’s” days of freedom have finally come to an end.

Damn, $243 million just got frozen like that. This guy is really wild. I still remember that Genesis case, it was a huge blow at the time. Did they finally catch someone now? $18.58 million... Can these assets be recovered, or are they just frozen for good? This guy's "record" is seriously intense—pulling off so many cases without getting caught for so long. Wait, this name sounds familiar... I think I heard zachxbt mention this guy before. $243 million—if they actually recover all of it, that would be insane. Finally, the victims might get some closure this time. Hope they get fully compensated. Feels like major cases in crypto just keep happening one after another—we really need to be more careful. Danish Zulfiqar Khan, remember this name—a textbook example of what not to do. Glad he got caught. Guys like this deserve to be locked up.

Haha, finally caught this guy. Should have been locked up long ago. $243 million just gone like that? --- It feels satisfying to see these rats get caught one by one. The Genesis case really hurt a lot of people. --- $18.58 million has been frozen... This guy must be feeling the pain, but he deserves it. --- Another case solved by an on-chain detective. zachxbt is still awesome. --- Someone is finally paying the price for the Genesis theft case. I guess this is a long-awaited victory for the community. --- Now, can those creditors who were robbed get anything back? --- $243 million... Where will this money end up?

Damn, they finally caught this guy? I thought the 243 million was gone forever. I still remember that Genesis case, it was insane. These people are really bold. 18.58 million frozen is no small amount either, but I guess there’s still quite a bit scattered elsewhere. The blockchain detectives really did a great job this time. Let’s see if they can dig up any more that slipped through the cracks. Will the space finally calm down for a bit now? It feels like there’s explosive news every single day.

Hmm... 243 million just gone like that, this guy is really something. --- zachxbt did it again, this on-chain detective has never let anyone down. --- 18.58 million is locked, what about the rest? That's the real question. --- The name Danny has been notorious in the circle for a long time, finally it's come to this day. --- I still remember that Genesis case, it was a total breakdown... Now that the person has been caught, it feels much better. --- To be honest, even top players like this end up getting caught, you just can't escape on-chain. --- 243 million, man, just got betrayed by a few insiders like that. --- Waiting to see how the exchange will handle these assets next.

Damn, did they really catch this guy? Someone finally got arrested in that $243 million case... now the real drama begins. --- Another crypto whale got busted, feels like the crackdown is getting more intense lately. --- The Genesis case was never resolved, and now they just caught the mastermind? Law enforcement sure is efficient. --- $18.58 million has been frozen, what about the rest... it's probably been moved long ago. --- This guy's resume is suffocating just to look at, good thing there's nowhere to hide on-chain. --- Wait, Danish Zulfiqar Khan, right? I remember this name being involved in other cases too. --- Getting back that $18.58 million doesn't solve the problem, who's going to take responsibility for the victims? --- Finally some visible progress, but I bet the real money is long gone. --- I just want to know how these people managed to stay active on-chain for so long without getting caught... --- Genesis creditors must feel sick reading this news, probably haven't gotten a single cent back from that $243 million.

$243 million, man, that's a big move, but he finally got busted, haha. --- I still remember that Genesis incident, the whole crypto circle was in chaos. Feels good to finally see the mastermind get caught. --- $18.58 million frozen, but that feels like just the tip of the iceberg. This guy must have hidden a lot more. --- I've never heard of the name Danish Zulfiqar Khan, but his track record is insane. Multi-chain crime king, huh? --- zachxbt is truly an incredible on-chain detective, nothing escapes his eyes. --- Honestly, solving a $243 million theft shows that law enforcement is really taking these cases seriously now. --- I don't recall much about the Kroll incident. How many times has this guy committed crimes? He's a serial offender. --- They announced it as soon as they locked $18.58 million. The rest of the assets are probably still being dealt with. --- Finally, a bad guy has been caught. A lot of investors can breathe a sigh of relief now.
