What happened
Wallet attributed to Veer Chetal ("Wiz"/"Swag") in the $243M social-engineering theft of 19 August 2024, published by ZachXBT on 19 September 2024. The case: three actors — Malone Iam ("Greavys"), Veer Chetal ("Wiz"/"Swag") and Jeandiel Serrano ("Box"/"John") — socially engineered a single victim out of 4,064.3769 BTC (~$238M at the time, $243M across all assets). ZachXBT's investigation contributed to multiple arrests and to millions being frozen; a later superseding indictment confirmed the arrest of a further participant in Dubai. This address appears in ZachXBT's OSINT chart labelled "Wallet Address" for Veer Chetal. PublicAML read it out of that chart and verified it on-chain: an externally owned account, 109 transactions, activity clustered in early September 2024 — days after the theft — and our engine already scored it 40 on indirect exposure, tracing an inbound path from a mixer two hops out. Two other addresses in the same chart were deliberately NOT reported. PublicAML's own data classifies 0x6ef702810a1A221682FdEBCbd353e6E249e4248e and 0xe8Bde8169a2f6eD6855201AFcAc7Be05a5639B25 as centralised-exchange hubs. They are labelled "Wallet address" in the chart, but flagging an exchange hub would brand an intermediary rather than an actor. The seizure address published in a later update (0xb37d617716e46511E56FE07b885fBdD70119f768) is likewise excluded — it belongs to the authorities holding recovered funds. Category note: filed under tech-support phishing as the closest available label; the actual method was voice-based social engineering impersonating exchange and platform support.
