Boynton Beach man accused of robbing $28K in Bitcoins deal, deputies say
Andre Allen, 34, of West Boynton, is accused of robbing a man of $28,000 when a man was trying to exchange the cash for Bitcoins in a Boston Market parking lot.

A man thought his $28,000 business transaction around midnight in the parking lot of a West Palm Beach Boston Market would go smoothly. Instead, it ended in armed robbery, according to a Palm Beach Sheriff's arrest report.
Deputies arrested Andre Allen, 34, of West Boynton as one of two men involved in the robbery.
The incident happened early Monday when Steve Manos, 32, of Lake Worth, met with two men, whom, he told deputies, he had done business with several times before. He wanted to exchange $28,000 in cash for Bitcoins, a digital currency for online transactions.
The exchange took place outside the restaurant at 2024 Military Trail. One of the men got into the front passenger seat of Manos' car, while the second man sat behind Manos, according to the report.
Manos handed over 28 bundles of $1,000 in a gift bag. The front seat passenger took out a laptop to finish the exchange, but he also pulled out a knife. He pressed it to Manos' chest, Manos told deputies.
Manos told the men to just take the money and leave. But a struggle ensued as the backseat passenger tried to grab Manos' gun out of the driver's door pocket.
The two robbers ran with the money. Manos chased them, but couldn't keep up, the report said. The suspects got into a Acura, and sped off.
Manos gave deputies a phone number he had used to contact one of the suspects to set up previous transactions. The deputies linked that number to Allen, and Manos picked him out of a photo lineup, according to the report.
Deputies arrested Allen the next day. He faces armed robbery, burglary and battery charges and is being held in Palm Beach County Jail on $31,000 bond.
