The Curious Case of Ellis Pinsky.


Steals $24 million in cryptocurrencies through a SIM swap. He was only 15 years old.
Spends the money on watches, clubs, and prostitutes. Uses his real name to withdraw the funds on Coinbase.
The FBI tracks the account and appears directly at his door.
They discover he is a minor. They can’t bring criminal charges against him. He gets away without going to jail.
Today, he studies philosophy at New York University.
There’s a lesson in that.
