Mark Cuban, proprietor of the Dallas Mavericks and billionaire entrepreneur, has misplaced roughly $870,000 to a crypto rip-off. Cuban believes he downloaded a tampered model of MetaMask, which allowed scammers to realize entry to his pockets and steal his cryptocurrency. The pockets actions have been first noticed by pseudonymous on-chain investigator WazzCrypto. Cuban has since moved his remaining funds to Coinbase’s custody. He is without doubt one of the few public figures who’s personally energetic in DeFi as an investor.
