You ever hear a story that sounds so insane you think it’s fake?

How a 20-year-old made $400 million from one phone call — then bought 31 supercars and gave out Birkin bags to random girls.

Yeah, this isn’t fiction. This is the story of Malone Lam — a teenager turned social engineer who pulled off one of the wildest crypto scams ever.

It all began when his target got a harmless-looking “unauthorized Google login attempt” alert. A few days later, Malone called — calm, polite, pretending to be from Google’s security team. Said he was investigating the alert, just needed to “verify some details.”

The victim — a crypto whale — played along. Over a few calls, Malone gained enough trust to get access to his Google Drive, where he found documents revealing Gemini wallet info.

Then his partner, Jeandiel, made his move. This time, pretending to be a Gemini employee, he told the victim there’d been a breach and convinced him to install “security software.”

That “software” was malware. Within hours, they had his private keys — and just like that, 4,100 BTC ($402 million) vanished.

And here’s where it gets insane.

Instead of hiding, Malone flexed: • Bought 31 supercars, including Ferraris, McLarens, and a Rolls-Royce. • Dropped $2 million on a diamond-encrusted watch. • Spent $569,000 in one night at a club. • And handed out five Hermès Birkin bags to random girls like party favors.

All from one phone call. One lie. One perfect social-engineering setup.

Malone Lam didn’t hack code, but social engineered people.
