Planet News: The latest documents from the U.S. Department of Justice show that MoonPay's CEO Ivan Soto-Wright and CFO Mouna Ammari Siala may have become victims of a fraud case, transferring over $250,000 USDT to a Nigerian scammer. The scammer impersonated Steve Witkoff, co-chair of the Trump Inauguration Committee, using a carefully designed deceptive email address (replacing capital "I" with lowercase "l") to carry out the fraud. Department of Justice documents indicate that the involved wallet was confirmed to be registered under Ehiremen Aigbokhan in Lagos, Nigeria, and Tether has already frozen approximately $40,000 USDT. As of the time of writing, MoonPay has not yet responded to this incident. ()
