Howdy Folks!

Well, it seems the wild west's got nothin' on the wild web these days! Now let me tell y’all about this young buckaroo by the name of Eric Council Jr.—26 years young and sentenced to 14 months in the ol' hoosegow with a three-year hitch of supervised wrangling on the open range of law-abiding life.

Schemin' Like a Coyote

The feds at the U.S. Department of Justice spread the word faster than my wife chases after a sale on saddles. Turns out, Eric and his posse wrangled up a scheme that’d make a rattlesnake blush. They made camp in 2024 over at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's digital corral—hacked right into their X account to holler out some fake news 'bout Bitcoin ETFs. Them darn coins bucked up like my old horse Daisy when she sees a snake.

Old-Fashioned SIM Swap Shenanigans

According to the DOJ, these varmint hackers performed a SIM swap attack that’d confuse a sheepdog on a caffeine rush. They lassoed the phone number of some poor soul who had the keys to the SEC's secured digital storehouse. Just like my wife hijackin' my stash of cowboy cookies, they got access to reset the password, takin' control of the whole kit and caboodle. Well slap my chaps and call me dusty!

Now, I reckon these scoundrels thought they’d be riding off into the sunset with crypto gold in their saddlebags. But instead, they'll have to learn a new kind of cowboying in the slammer. Remember folks, the only thing you should be rustling up is cattle, not chaos on the interwebs. Yee-haw!
