Crypto trader turns $4k into $1 million in 3 hours

By the merit of excellent timing, a cryptocurrency trader succeeded in turning approximately $4,000 into more than $1 million within just three hours on January 22, 2026, according to data Finbold retrieved from the blockchain records platform Solscan.

The highly successful trades leverage a new token issued by the publicly-traded company named DeFi Development Corp (NASDAQ: DFDV) and called the DisclaimerCoin (DONT).

Why the DONT crypto trader might be a project insider

Along with being exceptionally successful, the blockchain maneuver hints at either incredible luck or insider knowledge as the investor purchased their first batch of DONT before the company distributed its meme coin announcement.

Another point of interest is that, prior to January 22, the wallet executed only a handful of trades – most of the traffic was accounted for by Solana (SOL) – and spent the last three months completely inactive.

Whether by luck or by insider knowledge, it is difficult to dispute that the cryptocurrency trader has been extravagantly successful when trading the DisclaimerCoin.

The meme coin trade that turned $4,000 into $1 million

Perhaps the best showcase of this is that the first recorded DONT trade – executed some 21 hours before press time in the early morning of January 23 – saw the investor purchase 1.8 billion of the meme coin for just $83.41.

Indeed, in total, they bought more than 29 billion DONT for about $4,100.

On the other end of the maneuver, the first sale – executed approximately one hour later – came close to returning the entire investment as it, despite involving only about 175 million of the meme coin, raised over $3,689, per Solscan data.

Some of the later trades were even more impressive. About five hours after the initial purchase, the trader offloaded more than 17 billion DONT across four successive trades, raising more than $800,000.

Lastly, the most recent recorded DisclaimerCoin trade was recorded 15 hours before press time in the morning of January 23 and appears to have cleared the entire position. 

The subsequent transactions overwhelmingly involved SOL or Wrapped Solana. Still, it is also curious that the address received multiple transactions from accounts such as ‘Flip.gg | #1 Solana Casino’ and an automated trading tool designated ‘boostlegends-volumebot,’ which is designed to boost trading volume artificially.

Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum

Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum

The post Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A crypto whale lost more than $6 million in staked Ethereum (stETH) and Aave-wrapped Bitcoin (aEthWBTC) after approving malicious signatures in a phishing scheme on Sept. 18, according to blockchain security firm Scam Sniffer. According to the firm, the attackers disguised their move as a routine wallet confirmation through “Permit” signatures, which tricked the victim into authorizing fund transfers without triggering obvious red flags. Yu Xian, founder of blockchain security company SlowMist, noted that the victim did not recognize the danger because the transaction required no gas fees. He wrote: “From the victim’s perspective, he just clicked a few times to confirm the wallet’s pop-up signature requests, didn’t spend a single penny of gas, and $6.28 million was gone.” How Permit exploits work Permit approvals were originally designed to simplify token transfers. Instead of submitting an on-chain approval and paying fees, a user can sign an off-chain message authorizing a spender. That efficiency, however, has created a new attack surface for malicious players. Once a user signs such a permit, attackers can combine two functions—Permit and TransferFrom—to drain assets directly. Because the authorization takes place off-chain, wallet dashboards show no unusual activity until the funds move. As a result, the assets are gone when the approval executes on-chain, and tokens are redirected to the attacker’s wallet. This loophole has made permit exploits increasingly attractive for malicious actors, who can siphon millions without needing complex hacks or high-cost gas wars. Phishing losses The latest theft highlights a wider trend of escalating phishing campaigns. Scam Sniffer reported that in August alone, attackers stole $12.17 million from more than 15,200 victims. That figure represented a 72% jump in losses compared with July. According to the firm, the most significant share of August’s damages came from three large accounts that accounted for nearly half…
