True story.
I was in LV in October of 2021 meeting with some people from my TG-chat. I was there for the week but most were there for the weekend. We hit the clubs, dinners, took a day trip to Red Rock, etc.
One of the guys was working for a crypto fund (unbeknownst to me at the time). We met in the lobby of my hotel before the Red Rock outing. One of the guys from the East Coast had asked me to bring a certain brand of edibles (I do not partake) as he could not source. I met the guys downstairs but forgot the edibles. The crypto guy asked for the edibles and I handed him my room key and told them they were on my desk as I was waiting in line at Starbucks.
He comes back down with the edibles and hands me my room key. All is well...
When I get back to the room I notice my laptop screen is on and I had thought I'd logged out/shut it down. Weird, but chalked it up to being absent-minded.
Get back to Tahoe and I do a weekly scan of the drive and it finds a keylogger (more later). Clean the drive and think nothing of it. Weird as I am fastidious with my gear and don't do any banking on anything not wired to the router.
Keylogger guy asks me if I will take a call with the partners in a crypto-fund to discuss trading my vol-program in BTC. Broad strokes about native spreading, API, fees, etc. I ask for absurd concessions ans they agree in principle, so I know they must be desperate/losing AUM.
A few weeks pass and someone in the chat comes to me with this crazy story... the crypto guy has been attempting to source my vol-program files. How does the whistleblower know this? Because he had worked with me on a project and was employed by the crypto-fund as a programmer!
Keylogger/crypto/edible guy had been on my TG-chat as well.
So my buddy (programmer) tells me that the crypto-fund had a meeting in which the principals and the LV-edible/keylogger guy are pressing my programmer friend for any info on my vol-program. They were also communicating with my friend via a private TG chat. I have screen shots of the chat content where they are pressuring my friend for status on stealing my IP.
I put two and two together and realize that the edibles-guy went to my room and downloaded malware to my computer and a further investigation has shown that he was mining my TG-chat, but he didn't get anything as I sweep my archives to Dropbox and delete at the end of the week.
So I out the dude, ban him from chat and threaten him on a voice call. I out all of them on Twitter and that was the end of it for me, other than filing a complaint with the CFTC.
Then I see this:
