Confirmed crypto scam — 10,000x decimal-shift fraud, 3 smoking guns documented
DO NOT use octoswap.io. Confirmed crypto scam — 1.68 BTC (~120k EUR) stolen on 2026-05-01.
I sent exactly 1.68 BTC to swap into USDT-TRC20. The Bitcoin blockchain confirms my full 1.68 BTC arrived at their deposit address. Their dashboard fraudulently displayed only 0.000168 BTC — exactly 10,000x less than reality. They sent me back only 13.11 USDT.
Three independent smoking guns documented on-chain and via direct evidence:
(1) MEMPOOL WATCHING — Their USDT "refund" was confirmed 11 minutes BEFORE my BTC was mined. They were watching mempool and rigged the rate. Refund came from a WhiteBIT-labeled hot wallet (operator KYC traceable).
(2) ON-CHAIN EVIDENCE FABRICATION — The operator created a brand-new wallet funded with EXACTLY 0.000168 BTC at 14:57:07 UTC, 22 minutes BEFORE my BTC was mined. Then declared it via Telegram as "our wallet". Pre-meditation proven on the timeline.
(3) TELEGRAM ADMISSION — 6 screenshots of operator's support account putting in writing: "You created an exchange request for 1.68 BTC but only sent 0.000168 BTC". Direct evidence of fraudulent intent.
Their domain typo-squats on the legitimate OctoSwap DEX on Monad blockchain (octo.exchange). Footer openly links anti-KYC partners.
Italian criminal complaint pending (Polizia Postale CNAIPIC + Procura). Active compliance tickets at Vercel (takedown queue), AWS, Bitfinex, Gate.com (human reply received), Coinbase, WhiteBIT (interim freeze request).
Funds still frozen on-chain — 24/7 monitor with auto-flag to 11 exchanges if moved.
