They stole $275 million. Then they posted it on Instagram. 📸💸 We investigate the "Milton Group" scandal, a massive call-center fraud ring operating out of Tbilisi and Kyiv. We break down how journalists used a 1.9 Terabyte data leak to link the scammers' internal chat logs (boasting about stealing life savings) to their public social media posts flaunting luxury cars.

1. The "Billionaire Gucci Master": We analyze the persona. Ray Hushpuppi (Ramon Abbas) wasn't a real estate developer; he was a Business Email Compromise (BEC) scammer. We explain how his obsessive need to post photos of private jets and designer clothes provided the FBI with the geotags and metadata needed to track him to a penthouse in Dubai .

2. The "Boiler Room" Script: It’s psychological warfare. We expose the mechanism. Leaked scripts reveal how call center agents were trained to identify "whales" (vulnerable victims) and use "Love Bombing" and fear tactics to drain their retirement accounts. We discuss the tragic case of Marcel Duchamp, a victim who lost everything while his scammers celebrated with champagne .

3. The Forensic Takedown: You can't delete the blockchain. We explore the investigation. When the scammers tried to scrub their digital footprints, investigators used Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to match their "deleted" lives with the immutable ledger of their crypto transactions. We ask: is vanity the ultimate vulnerability of the digital criminal? .
