A British hacker named Danny (real name Danish Zulfiqar, also known as Khan or Meech), who has been active in the crypto scene for several years, recently got caught. This guy was behind two major incidents: he was involved in the Kroll SIM swap attack in August 2023, and even more notably, last August he stole $243 million directly from Genesis creditors.

But the long arm of the law finally caught up with him. The latest reports suggest he was apprehended by law enforcement in Dubai. To make matters worse, his crypto assets were seized as well—about $18.58 million currently sits in an address starting with 0xb37d. No matter how well you hide, you can't escape on-chain tracking, and Dubai's cooperation this time was impressive.
