Mt. Gox investors, who thought losing their bitcoins to Mark Karpeles was bad enough, were in for a rude awakening.

Researchers with computer security firm Cyren said many of Karpeles’s former investors have fallen victim once again—this time to phishing scammers.

Back in May, court-assigned trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi announced that they are about to award a total of JPY263.52 trillion (US$2.41 million) to some 24,750 verified creditogoxrs of the defunct bitcoin exchange, instructing the claimants to “browse the Mt.Gox claims website to confirm their status.”

But it seems that scammers are already one step ahead of Kraken, who is leading the charge in paying Mt. Gox’s former patrons, with an Inception-esque scheme targeting the unsuspecting Mt. Gox investors.
