MoonPay executives may have sent $250,000 to a Nigerian scammer.
A U.S. Department of Justice filing aimed at recovering fraudulent cryptocurrency inadvertently revealed the identities of the victims, who are the CEO and CFO of MoonPay, as reported by NOTUS. The filing states that the two victims sent 250,300 USD in USDT to a scammer posing as Steve Witkoff, co-chair of President Trump's inauguration committee. However, the receiving wallet was registered to Ehiremen Aigbokhan in Lagos, Nigeria.
The victims were only identified as "Ivan" and "Mouna," while the CEO is Ivan Soto-Wright and the CFO is Mouna Ammari Siala. A previous lawsuit alleged that Soto-Wright used the same wallet to fund his personal wallet. The scammer's email contained the letter 'l' instead of 'I', a common camouflage tactic. IP data shows that the emails originated from Nigeria, indicating that Aigbokhan received fraudulent international transfers from the United States.
