French cybercriminal robbed victims of $667K after violence

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has unmasked a French cybercriminal who, according to him, is responsible for laundering crypto stolen during two violent home robberies in France in April 2026. The two attacks yielded the perpetrators over $667.000 in total. His investigation led to the freezing of $93.000 in USDT directly linked to the robberies.

Key points:

• Two home robberies in France in April 2026 resulted in a total of $667.000 in crypto being stolen.
• ZachXBT traced the stolen funds and secured the freezing of $93.000 in USDT by Tether.
• The suspect, known as M1llionz, is linked to multiple aliases and is active on TikTok and Telegram.

Two robberies in April, victims hospitalised

On 17 April 2026, five attackers assaulted a victim at their home in France. Armed with automatic weapons, they forced the victim to grant access to his crypto over a period of two hours. The haul amounted to approximately 7.2 Bitcoin, worth around $557.000. Several people were injured and required hospital treatment.

Three days later, on 20 April, a second robbery took place. Perpetrators tied up victims and threatened them until they handed over a seed phrase. Through that phrase, the perpetrators gained access to crypto worth over $110.000, primarily on the BSC and Base blockchains. One victim reported that a bystander noticed the fleeing suspects and alerted the police.

ZachXBT traces the money via KuCoin and Tether

ZachXBT reconstructed how the stolen funds were laundered. Following the 17 April robbery, the Bitcoin was converted to Ethereum via Chainflip. Subsequently, $317.000 was routed through three deposit addresses on the KuCoin exchange. Through a timing analysis, ZachXBT identified the corresponding withdrawals, which converged in a single consolidation address.

The proceeds of the second robbery, approximately 46 ETH, were likewise laundered via KuCoin and ended up at the same consolidation address. About $108.000 was then exchanged into USDT. ZachXBT reported the movements to Tether and to law enforcement agencies, after which Tether froze the address in question. In total, this involved 93,507 USDT.

M1llionz openly flaunts on TikTok and Telegram

ZachXBT links the robberies to a person who operates online under the name M1llionz, also known as RichMilly666. This TikTok account has more than 23,000 followers and over 750,000 likes. The person posts videos of a luxury lifestyle featuring hotels, flights, expensive cars and designer clothing, but blurs his face in photos.

On his Telegram channel named EMPIRE, M1llionz posted several screenshots of his Exodus wallet. Those screenshots showed that the wallets directly received funds from the robberies. For example, one address received 1.44 ETH originating from the 17 April robbery, and on 8 June M1llionz sent a video of a transfer of 22.37 ETH that could be traced back to the 20 April robbery.

In addition to laundering stolen crypto, M1llionz also promotes bank fraud services on his Telegram channel. Through OSINT research, ZachXBT found multiple email addresses and aliases potentially linked to the suspect, including the names Mamane Kante and Yadali Kouyate. The French police are already involved in the investigation.
