The investigative team at Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, played a crucial role in assisting law enforcement in apprehending the suspect involved in the ZKasino scam. The team was prompted to look into this fraudulent gambling platform due to the outrage from the community. Using a combination of on-chain tracking and open-source intelligence methods, the researchers were able to identify the individual responsible for the scam. Upon discovering the suspect behind the smart contracts, Binance promptly notified law enforcement authorities, leading to the arrest of the 26-year-old perpetrator. The arrest resulted in the seizure of €11.4 million ($12.2 million) worth of digital assets, real estate, and luxury cars.
This marks the first arrest in the ZKasino fraud case, where investors lost a minimum of $33 million. The platform initially promised investors to return their investments within 30 days, but Dutch authorities discovered that the smart contract never intended to uphold this promise. Binance successfully froze millions of dollars in stolen crypto through the ZKasino rug pull after law enforcement issued a warrant against the attacker’s accounts. The main individual responsible for the scam is still at large.
Binance’s investigations team has been collaborating with Dutch authorities to provide on-chain forensics, helping them trace the flow of funds and understand how the malicious ZKasino smart contracts were set up. The ZKasino rug pull managed to attract over 10,000 investors, who collectively invested at least 10,515 Ether (ETH) before the perpetrator silently started draining user funds. The crypto community played a crucial role in aiding the arrest by revealing the identity of the ZKasino suspect. Popular crypto analyst FatMan and others suspected that the scammer was the pseudonymous ZKasino builder known as Derivatives Ape, a theory that Binance confirmed. In fact, the suspect’s past comments on Twitter further fueled suspicions within the community.
Despite the arrest, the stolen funds have continued to move on-chain, indicating the involvement of multiple other attackers in the rug pull. Binance’s investigations team will maintain close collaboration with authorities to ensure the return of the stolen funds to the affected investors.
Binance’s close collaboration with authorities is key in ensuring the return of the stolen funds to the affected investors. Together, we can minimize the impact of scams and make the crypto space safer.
