Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has linked the M1llionz handle to about $667,000 in cryptocurrency stolen during two home invasions in France.
The attackers stole about 7.2 Bitcoin, worth roughly $557,000 at the time, from one victim on April 17 before taking another $110,000 in crypto from a second victim. ZachXBT’s investigation also prompted Tether to freeze 93,507.51 USDT tied to the case.
Crypto Funds Follow Complex Trail
ZachXBT traced the April 17 proceeds through Chainflip and three KuCoin deposit addresses. About $108,000 later moved through Ethereum before being converted into USDT.

The investigator said the timing of deposits and withdrawals helped connect the transactions. Those links remain circumstantial when funds pass through exchanges, making it harder to identify the individuals behind them.
ZachXBT reported his findings to Tether and law enforcement. Tether’s monitoring data shows the linked address was blacklisted on April 24.
Investigation Points to Wider Network
ZachXBT said M1llionz is linked to the EMPIRE Telegram channel, which he said advertises bank-fraud services and recruits scammers. No arrests, charges or convictions have been announced.
Chainalysis reported more than $30 million in successful “wrench attacks” during the first half of 2026, highlighting the risks faced by crypto holders.
