He spent 6 months earning someone's trust. Then took everything in one click.
A crypto streamer lost $2.5 million from a single transaction he signed himself.
Here's how it happened:
For six months, a mysterious account kept donating. Big money, consistent, no strings attached.
$230,000 in donations total.
The streamer noticed
Then one day, the donor finally explained himself:
"All those tips I sent you? That's profit from a Solana sniper bot I built myself. Been running it six months. I give you 20% of every fat trade. Want to test it live on stream?"
$230,000 in gifts, six months of trust
The streamer said yes
The panel looked real, it read his wallet, showed available SOL.
Ran a demo trade, he'd seen a dozen tools like this
He connected his Phantom wallet, signed one transaction to "authorize" access
That's all it took
Every dollar was gone before the stream tab finished loading
The "bot panel" was a drain contract, the donations were the investment
$230K spent
$2.5M made
ROI: 986%
This wasn't a scam. It was a business plan.
