3/ After cashing out the hacker began trolling on social media.
They tried taking credit for other recent incidents such as Hulk Hogan and 50 Cent though there is little evidence to show they were also responsible for these.

4/ Using a timing analysis we can see the proceeds from the scam were sent to an exchange on Solana before being swapped to Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The funds were split on-chain so we can infer there were multiple people involved.

7/ Additional comfort is gained Gurv is the same person in the screenshots as in multiple Telegram groups he was seen responding to messages with the same Telegram user ID and talking about his time in prison.

8/ Using the Ethereum address connected to the Sydney Sweeney SIM swap on July 9th 1.5 ETH was sent to an exchange and received on Solana.
Using this we can find another attack done by Gurv or his partner.

9/ On July 9th Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul actor) was hacked on X and a link to a meme coin was posted just like for Sydney Sweeney.
Only this time they messed up and launched two coins (KIRK & SAUL) resulting in only a small amount profited.
Proceeds were sent to the same Ethereum address which funded the Solana address.
