According to the ever-vigilant Scam Sniffer, our victim was ensnared by the allure of “permit” and “increaseApproval” signatures-a feature so convenient, yet so perilous!

Oh, the drama! The Indian crypto exchange Wazirx, in a twist worthy of a novel, announced on Oct. 13 that the Singapore High Court, in its infinite wisdom, approved the restructuring scheme proposed by Zettai Pte Ltd., the Singapore-based entity of Wazirx, with modifications.
