Garrett Dutton, an American musician known as "G. Love," lost $420,000 worth of Bitcoin after downloading a malicious app impersonating the Ledger Live crypto wallet on his Apple MacBook. He entered his seed phrase into the fake app, which led to his 5.9 Bitcoin being stolen and sent to addresses linked to the KuCoin exchange. This incident highlights ongoing security risks in crypto, with the FBI reporting over $11 billion lost to crypto scams in 2025. Fake Ledger apps have been used in scams since at least 2023, emphasizing the need for vigilance when managing self-custody wallets.
