💸 FBI Agent Stole $1M in Crypto, Confessed Himself

Patrick Yaroh, an FBI counterintelligence agent, stole about $1 million in crypto by finding seed phrases of hostile state wallets and transferring assets to himself 10-12 times. He said he acted out of frustration that the FBI didn’t block these accounts.

Yaroh moved funds to Kraken and sent $1.02 million to DeFi protocol Suilend via Slush, liking its water-drop logo. The probe began after he contacted a former Justice colleague on July 28 and surrendered the next day. Agents seized $925,426 in crypto from him.
