Dudes definitely a grindset mindset crypto type, but I can’t help but respect this grift a little bit.

Bergwall’s alleged refunding operation was fairly sophisticated. When his indictment was unsealed on November 9, it revealed he’d allegedly facilitated nearly 10,000 fraudulent returns between December 2021 and April 2022, which “resulted in more than $3.5 million in lost product and sales revenue to victim-retailers.�? (More recent court filings list the total value at $5 million.) The indictment also alleged that Bergwall got high on his own supply, so to speak: He refunded a number of products for himself, including a “$41,000 Rolex President Day-Date watch, a $600 TeamGee H20 Electric Skateboard, a $350 Samsung 43-inch Smart UHD TV, and an $80 pair of Reebok shoes.�? His alleged operation, called UPSNow, was run, like most refunding operations, on Telegram, where he went by the pseudonym MXB and worked alongside a number of unindicted co-conspirators. He specialized in FTID with a powerful edge: The government claims that Bergwall hacked into five employees’ back-end accounts at “a multinational shipping, receiving, and supply chain management company�? confirmed by sources to be UPS.

On Telegram, the reaction was less sympathetic. “Looks like twerp," one user wrote in a fraud channel with a screenshot of Bergwall’s LinkedIn profile picture. “Timmy turner ass." Another user posted a meme of a stick figure standing in the corner of a party Photoshopped with Bergwall’s face, captioned “THEY DON’T KNOW I HACKED UPS."

HAHAHAHA
