The sad story of an alleged SIM swapper who boosted millions

You probably shouldn't feel sorry for Nicholas Truglia. It's just that his story is so pathetic.

The 21-year old Manhattan resident was arrested last November and extradited to California in December. There, he'd face 21 felony counts relating to accusations of SIM swapping his way to a million dollars worth of stolen cryptocurrency. While Truglia's fate remains unclear, details of his life leading up to the arrest have begun to emerge thanks to a lawsuit filled by a separate alleged victim, and oh man is it a wild ride.
