I believe he sent it to be converted into crypto, which he sent to a random cryptocurrency address.

I don't get that impression and the article doesnt say

There are bank accounts in random countries he goes to visit or thinks he needs to visit, and an article saying money from the bank is wired directly into a crypto wallet, which is impossible. I’ve used institutional OTC desks that convert your incoming wire into a crypto asset and address of your choice at a pre negotiated exchange rate, but that is such a specific thing that you cant accidentally do

No crypto was harmed in this scam
