According to @OnchainLens, a victim lost 783.75 BTC (about $91.4M) on Aug 19, 2025 after a social engineering scam that impersonated exchange and hardware wallet support (source: Onchain Lens on X, Aug 29, 2025; citing ZachXBT on X). The post states the theft occurred exactly one year after the $243M Genesis Creditor hack (source: Onchain Lens on X, Aug 29, 2025). The post also references a transaction hash tied to the theft (source: Onchain Lens on X, Aug 29, 2025). Based on the figures provided, the implied BTC price is roughly $116.6k ($91.4M ÷ 783.75 BTC), helping traders size potential on-chain movement if these coins are later traced (source: calculation from data in Onchain Lens post).
