**Teen dubbed 'Baby Al Capone' stole $23.8M from cryptocurrency bigwig: lawsuit**

A teenager at the center of a

-dollar scheme kept his alleged habits under wraps to classmates and even family as they assumed he was just a gamer who hit the jackpot with bitcoin, according to court papers and a New York Post report.
Ellis Pinsky was 15 when he allegedly began his scheme, through which he has stolen more than $100 million in cryptocurrency as "the ringleader" of what a federal calls "a sophisticated cybercrime spree," court papers show.
"I could buy you and all your family… I have 100 million dollars."

• Ellis Pinsky (Lawsuit, page 5 of 27)
  But the teen's habits and mysterious wealth apparently never raised alarm bells at his high school or even at home in Westchester County.
