PANews reported on January 23 that, according to a post by crypto detective ZachXBT, a hacker using the pseudonym "John (online name Lick)" was found to be flaunting a wallet address holding $23 million. This address is directly linked to over $90 million stolen from the US government in 2024, as well as the assets of several other unidentified victims between November and December 2025.

This exposure stemmed from a "wealth comparison" argument between "John" and another hacker, Dritan Kapplani Jr., in a group chat, which was recorded. ZachXBT, through analysis of publicly available on-chain data, revealed the address's connection to multiple major theft cases.
