California Crypto Clown Caught Washing $230 Million in Dirty Internet Money

So, strap in. Some California genius, a digital dipshit named Michael Selig, just admitted to laundering crypto looted in a $230 million heist. Yeah, two hundred and thirty million—that’s the kind of number that makes your eyes water and your arteries harden out of envy and rage. Instead of using common sense like a sane human, this wannabe crypto king decided to help wash piles of dodgy digital cash stolen from a doomed cryptocurrency exchange called Crema Finance. Someone broke in, drained the place like a toilet after bad sushi, and our boy Mikey thought, “Hell, I can help move that around!” Idiot.

Our crypto mastermind ran the usual scammy circus—shuffling funds between fake accounts, through mixers, and back again faster than you can say, “Where the fuck did my coins go?” He even used shell accounts to make things “look legit,” because nothing says *legitimate businessman* like using multiple fake wallets tied to phony IDs. The FBI, shockingly, noticed. Turns out laundering millions across blockchains isn’t quite as anonymous as Reddit gurus promise. Who knew? The feds caught up, shoved a warrant in his face, and Mikey folded like a cheap suit. Now he’s looking at a serious holiday in Club Fed, where “proof of stake” is just a fancy term for who controls the remote in the prison rec room.

Moral of the story? Don’t launder crypto. Don’t steal crypto. Hell, maybe don’t even touch crypto unless you enjoy FBI attention and future regrets. Every single time some idiot thinks they’re too smart to get caught, they end up crying into a jumpsuit that smells like despair. It’s like watching tech bros discover gravity—painful, predictable, and hilarious.

Reminds me of the time someone in accounting tried to hide payroll “errors” by renaming files to “pretty_flowers.xlsx”. Spoiler: it was ransomware, the dumb bastard clicked it, and I had to spend my weekend disinfecting their machine instead of getting drunk. Lesson learned? Stupidity isn’t just a bug—it’s a bloody feature.
