Three teenagers from Florida are accused of kidnapping a man at gunpoint who had recently hosted a cryptocurrency event in downtown Las Vegas (DTLV). The suspects allegedly drove the victim 70 miles to a remote desert area in Arizona, where they forced him to transfer $4 million in cryptocurrency and NFTs.

The incident, which occurred last November, involved the victim being taken from Las Vegas to the Arizona desert. The stolen assets included both cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Police reports indicate that over $200,000 of the stolen funds have been frozen as part of the ongoing investigation. Two of the suspects, both 16-year-olds from Florida, face 22 felony counts related to the kidnapping and theft and have been charged as adults.
