MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto‑Wright and CFO Mouna Ammari Siala reportedly fell victim to a phishing scam after receiving spoofed emails impersonating a Trump Inaugural Committee co‑chair. The scammer cleverly swapped characters in the email address (using a lowercase “l” in place of an uppercase “I”), tricking the executives into sending $250,000 in Ethereum (later traced to a Nigerian-linked address) to a fraudulent wallet—highlighting how even experienced crypto leaders can be ensnared by basic typosquatting tactics.
