OG Trader Sillytuna Says $24M Crypto Theft Came With Violent Threats

Sillytuna, a prominent early Ethereum NFT trader, reported a $24 million cryptocurrency theft involving AUSD and aETHUSDC. The incident, which occurred on March 4, 2026, combined an on-chain address-poisoning scam with real-world violence, weapons, and threats of kidnapping and rape. Although physically unharmed, Sillytuna was deeply shaken and announced he is leaving the crypto space. He later offered a 10% bounty for the recovery of the funds, even to those involved in the crime. This case highlights a trend of hybrid crypto crimes where online scams escalate into physical threats. Recent months have seen similar high-value thefts, including a $50 million USDT loss in December 2025, indicating that even experienced traders are vulnerable to sophisticated, multi-layered attacks.
