The Crypto Swindler

Crime / Thriller

Cryptocurrency has taken the world by storm. It promises freedom from traditional banks, quick transactions, and big profits. But with great opportunities come great risks. Scammers and hackers have entered this world, creating fake coins, stealing funds, and ruining lives.

This story, The Crypto Swindler, is about how one scam fooled millions and how ordinary people fought back.

In Bengaluru, India's tech hub, a young programmer named Aryan uses his coding skills to create a fake cryptocurrency called NeoCoin. He tricks people into believing it's a once-in-a-lifetime investment. Millions invest, including a small-town man who puts in his life savings—and loses it all. His daughter, Radha, a journalist, decides to take matters into her own hands.

Radha enters the world of hackers and scammers, uncovering how they code, steal, and hide their crimes. She learns about vulnerabilities in crypto wallets, smart contracts, and APIs. But she also discovers the world of ethical hackers, people who use their skills to protect others. Together, they fight back using countercoding, spreading awareness, and helping victims recover.

This book will take you deep into the world of crypto scams. You'll see how hackers use programming languages like Solidity, Node.js, and Python to commit crimes—and how ethical hackers use the same tools to stop them. Through Radha's journey, you'll learn to recognize scams, protect yourself, and understand the power of technology for both good and evil.

The battle between scammers and heroes begins. Will justice prevail? Read on to find out.
