Don't remind me again today

Remember that massive Twitter breach back in 2020? The mastermind who orchestrated hacks on some of the world's most powerful accounts—including a former U.S. president and a tech billionaire—is now being ordered to fork over more than $5 million in stolen Bitcoin.



This guy managed to compromise dozens of verified accounts in what became one of the most brazen crypto heists in social media history. The stolen funds were used to run a classic doubling scam, promising victims they'd get twice their Bitcoin back. Spoiler alert: they didn't.

Now justice is catching up. The court ruling marks a significant moment in holding crypto criminals accountable, especially when high-profile figures become targets. For the crypto community, it's another reminder that blockchain's transparency cuts both ways—those stolen coins can be traced, and perpetrators can't hide forever.
