When Primates Discover 𝖥̶𝗂̶𝗋̶𝖾̶ the DevTools

In Part 1, we examined the pre-Code Era scammers: from the primitive Ghosting Chimps to Extortion Australopithecus, to Fake Token Dusting Homo. Last weekend, natural selection delivered the next mutation: the browser-tinkering primate who’s discovered f𝗂̶𝗋̶𝖾̶ DevTools and thinks right-clicking “Inspect Element” makes him a 𝗌̶𝗁̶𝖺̶𝗆̶𝖺̶𝗇̶ ̶𝗈̶𝖿̶ ̶𝖻̶𝗅̶𝗈̶𝖼̶𝗄̶𝖼̶𝗁̶𝖺̶𝗂̶𝗇̶ ̶𝗀̶𝗈̶𝖽̶𝗌̶ hacker.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet lakeio, the Browser Barbarian subspecies of Homo Scammus Codeus: the scammer who opens DevTools, tweaks one client-side condition, and prays the seller ships before the Monero blockchain calls his bluff.

Spoiler: The blockchain (an immutable database by nature) always calls the bluff. No amount of “I deposited, bro” yells in chat will make funds appear in the multisig address on the Monero blockchain. And the XmrBazaar multisig web tool does one simple job - it communicates with and checks the Monero blockchain entirely client-side in your browser - and it does it well, as you will see.

This isn’t just a scam story. It’s a forensic autopsy of how these digital primates probe for weaknesses, and why the real hero, our dev Anarkio who built the fortress, deserves a standing ovation. Now, I’ll walk you through every console poke, every log, every “aha” moment.

A Failed Heist: Timeline Highlights
- Buyer (lakeio) joins escrow for a 10+ XMR deal (mediated by yours truly).
- Everyone completes async multisig setup almost without drama.
- Buyer declares: “Escrow done,” “My part is done.”
- I open the escrow and see the warning: “Deposit not found!”
