- —Scammers impersonated a major investment firm's team, with members playing different roles
- —Chen uncovered the ruse by checking with the firm's leader through a separate channel
- —The attempt came four days after attackers took $387.5 million from Bitget
- —Chen said it "could be both" North Korean hackers or ordinary scammers
