Philadelphia musician Garrett Dutton, known professionally as G. Love of G. Love & Special Sauce, lost his entire Bitcoin retirement fund on 11 April 2026 after downloading a fraudulent application from Apple's Mac App Store. The stolen stash, worth approximately £315,514 ($424,175) at the time, represented nearly a decade of accumulated savings. Dutton disclosed the loss publicly on X the same day, writing: 'I had a really tough day today I lost my retirement fund in a hack/scam when I switched my Ledger over to my new computer.'
According to Dutton's public statements on X, he searched the Apple App Store for the official Ledger software while reconfiguring his hardware wallet on a new Mac. He downloaded what appeared to be a legitimate Ledger Wallet app. The application, however, was not developed by Ledger SAS, the company behind the popular hardware wallets. Instead, it was listed under a third-party developer — and it had already cleared Apple's review process.
