According to the City of London Police report, 25-year-old London man Ajay Shinjin (also known as AJ Marley Cruz) was sentenced to two and a half years in prison by the Inner London Crown Court for his involvement in a SIM swap fraud case. He pleaded guilty on September 28 to two charges of conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation and transferring criminal property. The case involved the theft of cryptocurrency worth nearly £200,000 (approximately $265,000).In early November 2021, British telecom operator BT discovered unauthorized activity in its systems, where customers' phone numbers were transferred to SIM cards controlled by criminals, who intercepted one-time verification codes sent by banks and cryptocurrency platforms. The police identified several suspects based on device data provided by BT, and Shinjin was linked to four of the devices. He profited over £44,000, which he used for a vacation in Dubai, a luxury apartment in Canary Wharf, and a gold-plated dental grill.Details of the case revealed that one victim lost approximately £40,000 in cryptocurrency on November 2, 2021, with about £27,000 flowing into Shinjin's personal crypto account; a second victim had approximately £17,000 entirely transferred to his wallet; he also assisted in stealing about £8,000 from a third victim's Coinbase account and around £130,000 from a fourth victim. Shinjin was first arrested at his residence in 2021 and was re-arrested at Heathrow Airport upon returning from Dubai in October 2023.

first_img Ledger launched a Bitcoin lending feature, allowing users to collateralize BTC to borrow stablecoins

Ledger launched its self-custody lending feature Crypto Loan at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore, allowing eligible users to collateralize wrapped Bitcoin cbBTC or wBTC in the Ledger Wallet to borrow stablecoins USDC or USDT, without needing to transfer funds to a centralized lending platform or sell their holdings. Users can open and manage loans directly within the wallet, track loan-to-value ratios, add collateral, make repayments, or increase borrowing, with key operations requiring physical confirmation on the Ledger signing device before execution.This feature is supported by the decentralized credit network Morpho, with technology provided by Yield.xyz, which is also the supplier of Coinbase's Bitcoin collateralized loans. Ledger also announced that its signing devices can directly connect to Morpho without the need for a browser plugin or software wallet. Morpho co-founder Paul Frambot stated that this integration creates a "powerful liquidity flywheel," where stablecoins deposited through Ledger's existing Earn products can fund current loans for Bitcoin holders.This move pushes Ledger, known for its hardware wallets, further into the financial services sector. Coinbase recently launched fixed-rate Bitcoin collateralized loans after expanding to UK users, and JPMorgan is also exploring Bitcoin and Ethereum collateralized lending. Ledger claims to have protected nearly 30% of the Bitcoin held by retail investors. Crypto Loan has begun to gradually open to eligible users, with availability expanding over time.
