Kenyan detectives have arrested Mildred Kache, the alleged mastermind behind a fake gold scam that defrauded an American investor of 431,380 Tether (USDT), according to BeInCrypto. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reported that Kache was apprehended at Crystal Villas in Kilimani, Nairobi, while her accomplice, Ibrahim Yusuf Mohamed, evaded capture. The scam involved promising the investor 400 kilograms of gold bars, leading him to wire funds to accounts controlled by the group. No gold was delivered, and the suspects ceased communication after receiving the payment. Kache is currently in custody pending arraignment, while investigators continue to pursue Mohamed and trace the stolen funds. The case highlights the use of stablecoins like USDT in international fraud due to their rapid transfer capabilities and difficulty in reversing transactions. Kenya is also working on its first dedicated crypto law to enhance reporting on suspicious activities.

Lenders in DeFi borrowing markets on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains and Solana experienced realized hack losses of 3 basis points of Total Value Locked (TVL) over the past 12 months, equating to $3 for every $10,000 deposited, according to BeInCrypto. Keyring Network founder Alex McFarlane derived this figure from DefiLlama records, excluding bridge incidents. The research highlights that non-bridge lending exploits amounted to $30.9 million against $99.6 billion in average TVL, with recoveries reducing net losses to 3 basis points. This suggests a relatively low risk compared to other sectors.
