Promote with Leviathan News$35B hit fraud schemes in 2025 and 84% of verified fraud inflows rode stablecoins, so fake-KYC tooling matters because it industrializes the supply of "clean" exchange accounts that can warehouse USDT/USDC before cash-out. Jinkusu already pushed Starkiller as Dockerized phishing SaaS with live MFA bypass; this is the same crew moving one step earlier in the funnel, from stealing sessions to minting accounts at scale. India only tightened onboarding in January with live selfies, geo/IP, and bank micro-deposits, but Entrust still pegs deepfakes at 1 in 5 biometric fraud attempts and deepfaked selfies were up 58% in 2025.
