G. Love’s Crypto Savings Account Hacked and Drained $424,000
G. Love, the relaxed, feel-good singer-songwriter, fell victim to a hack that drained a retirement savings account, according to a post he made on X/Twitter.
The musician, born Garrett Dutton, lost about 5.92 Bitcoin worth nearly $424,000, according to Gizmodo, which cited a probe by blockchain investigator ZachXBT.

Dutton said his cryptocurrency stores were raided after he downloaded what he thought was the Ledger app, which allows users to manage crypto, from the Apple App Store. He actually downloaded a fake, malicious app that looked like Ledger, which opened up his account to scammers. Dutton revealed he had been saving the Bitcoin for 10 years.

In subsequent posts, Dutton placed blame on himself, saying, “It was my own damn fault for not being more diligent,” adding, “let it serve as a warning” to others and telling people to “be careful out there.”
Last year, G. Love & Special Sauce released the album Ode to R.L., a collaboration and tribute to bluesman R.L. Boyce.
G. Love & Special Sauce will be on tour throughout the year, hitting cities like Atlantic City, Pittsburgh, Denver, Berkeley, and Raleigh. The band is on the “Rolling Together Revue Tour” with Donavon Frankenreiter and Moon Taxi in June. They’re also supporting Jack Johnson on dates this May and in the fall. Get tickets here.
