Crime doesn't Pay

[Agbe]

Crime only pay untimely dead and public disgrace. Crime is not originated from birth but it is an adoption. Either peer influence or lack of job in the country. Those who join cultism are easily to influence to join crime groups. If there are jobs to do and every citizens are working to earn money to feed their families, crime would reduce in the society but the government is deliberately making jobs unavailable or difficult to get by the poor.

I thought the whole context was about people making use of third party platforms, and easily falling for scams, but I guess it is a general crime related matter. Well, he_{(the scammer)} made his choice, and he's definitely going to pay for it because that's definitely the consequences of choosing such part. I think a lot of people who indulge in such acts always tend to weigh their options first, to see if it actually worths their freedom. I guess the level of risk that demands staking your freedom or life is literally the craziest part we as humans can take.

There is this common saying that I believe many of us will be well aware of, it states that "everyday is for the thief, but one day is for the owner".
Nobody have earned through theft forever without getting caught and prosecuted, those who got into theft and didnt live long to get caught and punished, often have their children suffer for the crime they (the children) didn't commit.
Things like this should prove to us all that karma is real and it's natures way of rewarding everyone according to their deeds respectively, no matter how smart a criminal is, karma will push the person to make a mistake that will push him or her into the next of the authorities one day.

You could justify this by saying that he made this mistake because he is just a boy of 23 years old, no older person will make such mistakes, but trust me, mistakes knows no age, there are mistakes for every ages, no matter how smart you are at stealing you will make mistake one day and get caught. Crime gets you there very quickly and it will pull the plug on you very fast when the time is right.

When the implication is negative, only those who share the same mindset will justify it.
23 years old may still be very young but she is mature enough to know what to do and the path she should take because after all when she is of legal age it means she can be responsible for what she does.

It's not a matter of being young or old but ultimately it's a matter of responsibility and risk. When he does this then he must be ready with all the consequences because all actions have consequences and there is feedback that we must receive.
Evil is still evil and there is no comparison that will turn evil into good.

Classic story greed and overconfidence are the ultimate combo for getting caught the blockchain doesnt forget, and people like ZachXBT have long memories, a good reminder that even if you think you've covered your tracks with mixers, one slip-up on a public Telegram is all it takes. Crime really doesn't pay here.

I agree with you, crime doesn't pay and it will never pay, I was on TikTok, earlier and I saw a post ,(allegedly) where the Senate president of my country was addressing the public on NTA news, that they have sent bonus to all the senators, To celebrate this Christmas, so people try to shut him up because he was on  live News, this simply means that they knew what they are doing is a criminal act and they are still doing it, making the innocent citizens to suffer, I think if the government provide more job opportunities there will be less crime in Nigeria and other countries that has similar issues.

Luckily this boy made a mistake by himself, he publicly bragged about his schemes within a channel on telegram called "Blockchain Enemies", he even said that he lost $6 million to gambling.

It was one of his victims that contacted ZachXBT and since then the hunt was on, now he is apprehended and facing 31 charges including

Unlucky situations will continue to happen to those that thinks they can cause harm by stealing what belongs to others and go away with it, they will continue to make mistakes that will lead to their apprehension, because what they are taking does not belong to them and were not expected to last in their hands, its better to do good than doing evil and scamming others of what belongs to them.

This is not a professional hacker; it is a professional strategy that plays on the psychology of Coinbase users to steal their assets. In fact, if we are careful and not rushed in taking action, theft will not happen—even if they claim to be part of the Coinbase team. I often receive messages like that; fortunately, I don’t pay much attention because I’m not involved in developing a large project. Otherwise, I might have been scammed as well.

Most of these incidents are not carried out by professional hackers breaking into systems, but by people who clearly understand human psychology. They rely on fear, and authority but pretending to be from Coinbase support or a trusted platform and to pressure users into making quick decisions. Once someone acts in a rush, that is when mistakes happen and assets get stolen and if users remain calm, take their time, and verify information through official channels, these scams completely lose their power. No legitimate platform will ever pressure you to act immediately or ask for sensitive details through random messages. Scammers also to target people they believe are involved in large projects or hold significant funds, assuming they will panic more easily. So staying informed, and disciplined is key. And in the end, knowledge and patience are far stronger than any deceptive strategy they will try to use.

Crime doesn't pay.

Crime doesn't pay. How I wish all these scammers would get to know that, no matter how smart they think they are, a day would come when they would make that stupid mistake, and they would be caught, that ends it for them in years in prison for the gravity of the crime they committed against humanity. They will serve it all in prison whether they are young or old. No exception to that since they have the mind to scam their fellow human beings without having a conscience of what becomes of those they scam, who buy into their scam trick.

Who says crime doesn't pay was probably not good at it. There are scammers we know completely nothing about because they've scammed millions of dollars and have chosen to stay low profile and off social media unlike the ones that are classified as proud scammers. When they hit a major cashout from scam, you know the next thing they do? They purchase exotic cars and luxury houses, they lived the extravagant lifestyle, they don't stop there, they flaunts these lifestyle on social media and easily forgets the world is watching them.

FBI is here to trace and track down scammers because it's the main obligation the operation carries.
