A scandalous theft happened in Chicago, Illinois, when a group of players of worldwide-known computer game “Call of Duty” stole $3.3 million in crypto. The source didn’t call out the names of suspected, as they had not been accused with any changes yet.

All we know, there was a man from Bloomington and another one from Dolton, Illinois. The first told in details how he was involved in such a crypto-hacking scheme. He met some members who forced him to take part in “SWATing”. This word means a situation when a player calls the police reporting a crime which occurs at someone’s place, and urges the SWAT team response.

The members of the ring provided the Bloomington man with every piece of information he needed to find the cell phone numbers of the victims. There were more than 100 people whose numbers he managed to take over. Hardly had the players gotten the numbers, when they hacked into victims’ crypto accounts.

$3.3 million was stolen in different cryptocurrency, it was moved to suspects’ digital wallets via Ether and Bitcoin networks.

The Bloomington man considers himself as a victim in the

latest interview to the Chicago Sun-Times

, saying that he had “never once profited from anyone [by] crypto-hacking, ever.”
