In the latest stunner, ZachXBT, an investigator, has found that the same crew linked to outright fraud is also involved in the cryptocurrency project called Leaper Finance. Blast platfrom that has earlier been accused of stealing multimillion-dollar funds from Mauritius, Kokomo, and Lendora cryptocurrency trading platforms has allegedly became active again on networks of the popular digital currency for the second time.
According to ZachXBT’s latest X post, however, the hacker(s) has now pivoted to provide liquidity on Lepar Finance by injecting about $1,000,000 into LP and Pool contracts to manipulate the entire system. This normally is considered to be the amount siphoned off from the previously defrauding activities (generally, in the crypto community it is called “rug pull”) where developers suddenly disappear from the project and run away with all the people’s money.

Leaper Finance: Catalyst For Crypto Chaos
During that period, the greatest attack occurred on Magnate, Kokomo, Lendora, and Solfire which were among the most affected networks. The fraud caused a serious financial damage to these systems. The fraudsters specifically targeted these organizations where they executed quite sophisticated scams, with the unprecedented, illegal transfers of tens of millions of Dollars in total.
Leaper Finance’s transition is a worrying development. It is indeed common in the cyber security space where cyber criminals now utilize blockchain not only as a technology for development but also as a tool for washing the stolen money. These illegal entities bypass traditional banking system by dumping new coins to the platforms such as Blast. Moreover, placing acquired funds in encrypted cryptocurrency wallets helps move illicit money from the place of original crime and back into legal financial system.
The stakeholders continue monitoring the situation, the investors and regulators being primary they track the developments made by Leaper Finance. The case illustrates the complicated environment of digital finance and depicts continuously that the risk of the non-sincere use of innovation and innovations looms vaguely. Leaking funds continue to be ongoing problems in which investigative bodies like ZachXBT have important contributions that rise to light such schemes while protecting the interests of the wider the financial community at large.
