Ronald Spektor, a 23-year-old from Brooklyn, has been indicted on 31 charges, including first-degree grand larceny and money laundering, for orchestrating a phishing scheme targeting Coinbase users. Between April 2023 and December 2024, Spektor allegedly impersonated Coinbase staff to steal digital assets, laundering the proceeds through mixers and gambling sites. Authorities have recovered $105,000 in cash and $400,000 in cryptocurrency.
The investigation, supported by Coinbase and blockchain analyst ZachXBT, has also implicated Spektor's father as a suspect. Despite the charges, Spektor maintains his innocence.
