Part 6/9:
While Ellis initially reveled in his success, greed among his associates soon marred the triumph. To launder the stolen crypto, he reached out to others for assistance, offering them cuts in exchange for swapping Triggers, a lesser-known cryptocurrency, into bitcoin. Unfortunately, one of his collaborators, Nick Truglia, attempted to pocket a significant portion of the funds instead of completing the exchange.
After disregarding their agreement and stealing a million dollars, Nick’s actions set in motion a series of unfortunate events for both him and Ellis. Law enforcement began to close in on Nick, ultimately linking him back to Ellis through their online ties.
