The cryptocurrency community is shocked by claims against WhiteRock Finance, which is already under investigation for links to a $30 million exit scam. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has found evidence suggesting that WhiteRock’s claim about their lead cryptography engineer, Amin Razavi, being killed by an Israeli missile, may not be valid.

Shocking Discovery About Zkasino Scammer

On July 2, 2025, WhiteRock announced that an Israeli missile killed Razavi while he was in Iran. It paid tribute to him as a talented figure in blockchain technology. However, ZachXBT’s investigation, like others in recent times, showed that Razavi was active on GitHub and Trello days after this supposed missile strike. 

His GitHub profile was last updated on July 7 at 11:51 AM, and he was active on Trello on July 8 at 7:15 PM, raising doubts about WhiteRock’s claim. Online sleuth ZachXBT tweeted:

“This engineer, supposedly struck by a missile, is still alive and working.”

This discovery has caused anger and doubt among crypto enthusiasts. It then suggests that WhiteRock might have made up the engineer’s death to distract from ongoing issues with their project. This discovery is significant because WhiteRock is already suspected of being involved in the Zkasino exit scam, where about $30 million was reportedly stolen from investors in 2024. 

WhiteRock in Troubled Waters

ZachXBT previously traced on-chain transactions connecting WhiteRock to funds linked to Zkasino and noted overlaps in team members. Ildar Ilham, one of those members, was arrested in the UAE and is facing extradition to the Netherlands.

WhiteRock’s reputation suffers due to reports of an anonymous team, fake user numbers, and unverified claims of partnerships with major financial firms like BlackRock and StoneX. These firms have not confirmed any connection.

The crypto community has responded with a mix of disbelief and dark humor. Users have questioned the unusual claim. The $WHITE token, which previously surged in value and now has a market cap over $1 billion, could face removal from exchanges as ZachXBT has called for greater scrutiny

The people involved in the Zkasino scam are waiting for their trial, and the crypto community is paying attention. Victims of the Zkasino incident want justice and are taking legal action, while investigators are looking into the situation. WhiteRock faces a tough future amidst this scandal without strong evidence to disprove the claims.
