These lists detail the full names, phone numbers, nationalities, positions, companies, and personal and business social media links of participants, which are often collected during the registration process for events at conferences or branch venues. Cointelegraph obtained a "sample" of the list from a seller via Telegram, including four lists from different events, each with approximately 60 to 100 participants and containing different data points. Most of the activities took place in the fall of 2024, with participants from multiple countries including Southeast Asia and India.
