- **2023:** Platform rebranded as *AlphaInnovativeGross*. The victim continued depositing funds after the change.

- **2025:** Victim’s displayed account balance reached **~$2.2 million USD**, but withdrawal attempts were blocked. The platform sent fake “network fee” requests and worthless tokens (e.g., *4-Way Mirror Money Coin* and *Luigi Inu* on BNB Chain) to appear legitimate.
