The acclaimed crypto detective on X, ZachXBT, has posted about the arrest of Robert Robb, an alleged crypto extortionist, by the Henderson Police in Las Vegas. Although the actual reason for Robb’s arrest was unknown, ZachXBT believes it connects to the allegation that the culprit stole over $1.2 million from 11 individuals in 2023.
Among the details ZachXBT shared is a record from the Henderson Police with information on some arrested individuals. He highlighted Robb’s arrest details, showing him as a 46-year-old suspect booked on March 20, 2024.
ZachXBT posted about Robb’s involvement in crypto theft and fraud in December 2023. He accused the suspect of soliciting funds from the victims for various MEV bots. According to the crypto detective, Robb did not deliver on the contract and failed to return investors’ funds despite initially agreeing to do so.
Meanwhile, the crypto detective shared a screenshot of a post with Robb denying the allegations and threatening to sue him and others who accused him. In the post, Robb promised to launch the project and deliver on his promise to investors.
Apart from the alleged extortion over the MEV bots, ZachXBT revealed that Robb was involved in similar crimes in the past. According to him, the suspected criminal pleaded guilty after scamming investors out of $4 million in 2002. He was also sentenced to three years in prison for fraud after stealing funds from over ten victims in Colorado.
In a follow-up post, nearly 60 days following the allegation, ZachXBT informed his followers that Robb had yet to pay the victims of his MEV bot extortion. Instead, the alleged scammer blocked him on X.
Details of the reason for Robb’s arrest remained unknown at the time of writing. However, ZachXBT believes it connects to the fraud allegations he has followed since last year.
