Published by

Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT exposed Haby (Havard), a Canadian from Abbotsford near Vancouver, who stole over $2 million from Coinbase users over a year by posing as support staff. He used social engineering for remote access, drained wallets like a $44,000 XRP theft and $237,000 Exodus balance, swapped to BTC via instant exchanges, and blew funds on rare Telegram usernames, club bottle service, and gambling. ZachXBT’s 12-post thread traced the theft through screenshots, emails, and blockchain data, earning crypto community praise and calls for RCMP intervention.
