Bali2026-07-22 13:39:34Self-described crypto rugpuller says 189 SOL was stolen from his phone during Bali night outProtos reported that Ronnie Magrehbi, a self-described crypto rugpuller with a long record of alleged scams and criminal charges, says he lost 189 SOL, worth about $14,000, while partying at a beach club in Bali. According to Magrehbi, he handed his unlocked phone to a woman he had just met so she could look up and follow her Instagram account. After she returned the device, he said the mood changed and the women disappeared after heading to the bathroom. He later found that the funds had been transferred from his Phantom mobile wallet to an address he had never interacted with before. Video shared by Magrehbi appears to show him confronting the women, then filming them again at a police station after he said local police sent 12 undercover officers to track them down and arrest them. Protos also revisited Magrehbi’s past, including armed robbery and burglary charges in 2020, a conspiracy to commit wire fraud charge tied to an NFL player’s social media account, allegations involving ransomware-style extortion, and criticism in 2025 after meme coins linked to children with cancer were used in a Pump Fun rug pull.420
SpaceXAI2026-07-13 08:47:31Hackers breach SpaceX-linked accounts, dump token for about $135,000Hackers recently compromised the social media accounts of SpaceXAI and Starlink, then used the accounts to launch a token called $SCATMAN before quickly cashing out, according to Techub News. On-chain data cited from Lookonchain shows the attacker minted 10 trillion tokens and sold the entire supply for 59 ETH, worth about $108,000 at the time cited in the report. A related wallet also realized another 14.7 ETH, or roughly $27,000. Combined, the proceeds came to about $135,000. The report described the incident as a classic account-takeover rug pull, in which attackers lean on a well-known brand name to attract buyers, mint a large amount of tokens, and exit quickly. The identity of the hacker remains unclear. The destination of the funds has not been disclosed, and the status of the compromised accounts had not been confirmed at the time of publication.2920
