Scams Target Voyager Customers
However, it was speculated that this latest move follows recent reports of a series of scams targeting Voyager Digital customers during a window that permitted partial withdrawals from the insolvent crypto brokerage.
According to sources from Bloomberg, law enforcement has become aware of these fraudulent activities. Darren Azman, the company’s legal counsel, has confirmed their knowledge of the situation.
Between June 23 and July 22, the company’s customers withdrew a substantial sum totaling $490 million. This amount constituted nearly 80% of the available funds and was disclosed during a teleconference hearing held at the Southern District of New York Bankruptcy Court within a month-long period.
As per Bloomberg’s investigation, the scammers deployed various tactics to deceive Voyager customers, with one prevalent strategy being the establishment of counterfeit websites promising elevated returns. Upon linking their wallets to these fake platforms, customers fell victim to substantial losses.
