The reported loss from this scam amounts to $72,643 in XRP, a significant amount that highlights the scale of the operation.
The scammers likely leverage the domain name and a professional-looking website to mislead investors, portraying legitimacy while funneling funds into their accounts. The use of a masked registrant and global hosting further complicates tracing their operations.
