Musician G Love has revealed that he lost his entire cryptocurrency “retirement fund” after accidentally installing a malicious app that impersonated a legitimate crypto wallet.
The singer – whose real name is Garrett Dutton of G Love & Special Sauce – said the incident happened while he was moving his crypto wallet to a new computer. He mistakenly downloaded what appeared to be the official Ledger wallet app from Apple’s App Store and warned others.
“They always have to steal my crypto from meeeeee”

I swear all these famous people need one or two non famous regular people types as friends and advisors. You know people still grounded in reality. Just to, on the off chance, pop in and say “Don’t do that”.

My ex-bro in law cashed out his entire 401k and gave it to some lady, who said she was going to make him a lot of money in crypto.
Guess who disappeared with his money?
