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.

Crime doesn't pay.

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.

[Ojima-ojo]

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.

Crime doesn't pay.

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.

[Queen uloma]

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.

[Dunamisx]

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. 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.

You could justify this by saying that he made this mistake because he is just a boy of 23 years old,

23 years old is not 13. Being young is no excuse for crime. This person was an adult and fully capable of understanding the consequences of their actions. This means this man a sane, competent adult (not in need of guardianship) who must bear full responsibility for their actions.

no older person will make such mistakes,

Who told you that? There are criminals of all ages.

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.

Well, not always. Do you think law enforcement agencies don't have unsolved crimes?

The problem isn't that having committed an illegal act (against others), you'll one day make a mistake and be held accountable for it, but rather that immoral actions create losses for others. Who gave this 23-year-old the right to take from people what doesn't belong to him under the guise of fraud?

Crime gets you there very quickly and it will pull the plug on you very fast when the time is right.

Easy come - easy go. The only truly valuable thing is what a person achieves and receives through his work and activity.

Here is an example of how easily something that is “easy and quick” is lost, as well as undeservedly obtained:

ZachXBT have been on this case for a year now, as a professional as he is it becomes extremely hard to tail this boy. 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.

Yes exactly majority of hacks in crypto world do not about breaking computer code but other tricking people. Human factor is scammer trick where they make you feel rushed, either by claiming your account will be closed or your money is being stolen, to cause you to panic and stop thinking clearly. They usually fake appearance of official help of such sites as Coinbase or Binance to make you believe them, yet you can prevent such scams by just slowing down and checking information yourself. In case person writes to you on social application, you must close it and visit official site to find out whether there is real issue. If you have patience, and never give your private keys, and not clicking on random links, you will be impossible target since scammers rely on speed and fear to win.

Peer groups have really damage most people lives due to their negativity in lives, and people who are influence are the young ones because they want to have a life like them, not minding the kind sacrifices they make just to be where they are.
Which is why its essential for people to choose friends or be close to those that will influence them positively instead negatively, because having friends or surrounding yourselves with friends that will influence you negatively, will not produce anything beneficial instead they might encountering problems that will ruin their plans and make them not to achieve what they want.
And this might cause them their lives, which they can die untimely due to their bad attitudes which they got influence through bad friends. So people should be with people that will impact them positively and helps them to beneficial to themselves and to the society as well.

True in life and in crypto. The forum can be a peer group too stick with threads that teach opsec and patience, not the get-rich-quick shills. Negative influences here will have you leverage trading or chasing shitcoins positive ones will have you setting up a hardware wallet and DCAing choose your digital circle wisely

Crime doesn't pay.

Karma is real, and every person on this earth should know this and believe this. If I have the opportunity to steal a million and I do it, even if I can get away with this money for now, I will have to wait for a banger that could destroy my entire life. I myself had multiple opportunities in my life, and I could have stolen more than a million, but I know that Karma is real. I identified several loopholes in different casinos that I could have exploited to drain the hot wallet, but I reported them to the owner instead. The latest one was Astrobet.gg, and I didn't even expect a bounty for such a report. They were generous to give me 40K sat, which I actually tested to check if it works. I wanted to return it too, but they said I could keep it.

23 year old is not a boy, it's a grown ass man and when he broke the law he goes to real prison not juvenile detention center. Since he's scamming, if he got arrested then he's got what's coming for him.

Those 100 victims are people with family, probably some of them lost their life saving because this guy decided to scam them. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

What surprises me is how often people still fall for fake support, exchanges repeat it all the time they will never ask you to send funds, age has nothing to do with it some scammers are young some are old, the common part is greed and thinking you are smarter than everyone else.

The reason why some people still fall for this kind of scam is because they are always afraid of losing their funds. Any message that comes their way saying they will lose their funds makes them ready to do anything to keep their money safe.this has tried to happen to me before, when I was unable to get access to my exchange account. I entered Telegram to search for the exchange supporters. As I dropped my complaint, before I knew it, someone came into my DM claiming to be part of the support team. I believed the person, and we started chatting.

In short, I was about to drop my details to the person before I realized that real customer support does not supposed to ask for personal details. That was how I stopped continuing the chat. My mind was carried away because I needed to use the money, so I was finding any way to withdraw it.that is mostly what happens to some people who still fall for scams they already know about.

What happened in this situation is a direct interpretation to law of karma, he took time to scam others and take what does not belong to him, the same thing fall back at him and he mistakenly revealed himself, I hope he faces the consequences not what is more than the incidence of what he caused, so he could know the pain others were put into, we should not put others in a condition of what we can't also afford to be into.

I think it's a very human thing. When people are afraid logic doesn't work properly. When money is stuck the only thought that comes to mind is how to quickly recover it. At that moment if someone extends a helping hand they easily believe it. In my experience, these scams actually work more on mental stress than ignorance. Many people know that support never DMs but then they think that maybe this time is different. The fact that you stopped at the last moment is the biggest lesson. In my opinion these incidents teach us that you should stop when you are afraid, if you rush that's where the scammers win.

Karma's a real thing in crypto so many exit scams where the lead dev suddenly gets "hacked" they always slip up this one just got what was coming, serves him right for preying on people trying to get ahead.
