Zach Rynes (Zach Rynes) said that scammers claimed the connection of the fake wallet rfHhX6hA54LBqA3j7r7EnCs6qyaRK2Lyfq with large financial institutions, referring to transaction records in the XRP registry. For example, data from XRPL explorer Bithomp shows that the wallet was activated on January 21 at 3: 17 UTC. Immediately after activation, the address set a link to the home domain.treasury.gov, the official website of the US Treasury, and then the account received tokens under the names Bank of America, BlackRock and JPMorgan — a trillion coins each. The wallet then placed several trading orders to sell millions of Bank of America, BlackRock, and JPMorgan tokens for XRP. The largest of the orders involved the sale of 299 million JPMorgan tokens for 33.23 million XRP at an exchange rate of 0.11 XRP per JPMorgan coin.
