AI SUMMARY  [revised on review, verified against the sources in this file. Live DB still holds the shorter bulk-import summary — apply this to it.]
  **Victims:** The occupants of a home on Ballouville Road in Killingly, Connecticut — a female renter who recognised the intruders and other occupants, including a child.
  
  **Attackers:** Two Rhode Island women — Monique Delannoy-Jodoin, 59, of Manville (already under investigation for narcotics sales through the postal system), and Beatriz Viruet, 38, of Providence — both arrested and charged.
  
  **Attack Method:** In March 2018 the two reportedly forced their way into the home. Police said the dispute stemmed from a bitcoin account the female victim had opened in Delannoy-Jodoin's name; Delannoy-Jodoin wanted the passwords and money she said had been stolen from her.
  
  **Violence Used:** They pistol-whipped one occupant on the head and used an electric cattle prod on another; the renter was chased into a bathroom, which a suspect tried to break into with a hammer before she escaped to a neighbour's, and one suspect was heard telling the other to "shoot the victims".
  
  **Crypto Demanded/Stolen:** The dispute centred on the contested bitcoin account and its passwords; the intruders also stole money, cell phones and a television.
  
  **Status:** Both were arrested and charged — Delannoy-Jodoin with home invasion, risk of injury to a child, second-degree assault with a weapon, robbery, larceny, criminal mischief and threatening/reckless-endangerment counts, and Viruet with home invasion, first-degree robbery and breach of peace. They were held on $250,000 and $100,000 bonds and due at Danielson Superior Court.

Police: Dispute over Bitcoin Account Led to Connecticut Home Invasion

Two women have been arrested in connection with a March home invasion in Killingly, CT, where victims were not only robbed but also allegedly pistol-whipped and attacked with an electric cattle prod. The incident, police said, was the tragic culmination of a dispute involving a bitcoin account.
Incident Details
Apparently, the home invasion occurred because a female victim opened a bitcoin account for one of the alleged home invasion suspects, Monique Delannoy-Jodoin, 59, who police said is a resident of Manville, RI. Police also stated that Ms. Delannoy-Jodoin was already under investigation for narcotic sales and delivery through the postal system. The other suspect was Beatriz Viruet, 38, who is a resident of Providence, RI.
The female renter claimed to recognize two of the home invaders, who then pistol-whipped one occupant on the head, and utilized an electric cattle prod on another occupant. The female renter was able to escape to a neighbor’s house, but not one of the suspects was able to force entry into the bathroom, where the renter was hiding, using a hammer.
The suspects stole money, cell phones, and a television, according to local authorities. Allegedly, one of the suspects, told the other to “shoot the victims,” as well.
Crypto Crime
Many have criticized the fact that cryptocurrency can be used for money laundering, considering that it can often be harder to trace than fiat currency. The sector is often accused of fraud, and there are even international task forces organized to target ICOs worldwide.
This is a still-rare-but-increasingly-more-common instance where there is a violent crime associated with cryptocurrency. Indeed, it is not the only violent incident that has happened in relation to bitcoin. Earlier this year, there was a shooting in downtown Miami in connection with a bitcoin deal gone awry.
According to police, Monique Delannoy-Jodoin wanted money and passwords related to her bitcoin account. She was ultimately charged with home invasion, risk of injury to a child, third-degree criminal mischief, second-degree assault with a weapon, second-degree breach of peace, criminal use of a weapon, and sixth-degree larceny, among other charges. Beatriz Viruet was charged with home invasion, first-degree robbery, and second-degree breach of peace.
Delannoy-Jodoin was held on a $250,000 bond, while Viruet was held on a $100,000 bond. The women are both are due to appear Monday in Danielson Superior Court.

According to police, the incident happened in March at a home on Ballouville Road.
Police said the female renter of the home recognized two of the people that reportedly forced entry into the home, used an electric cattle prod on one occupant and pistol-whipped another in the head.

The suspects stole money, cell phones and a television, police said. One of the suspects told the other to “shoot the victims,” according to the press release.
Police said the home invasion reportedly stemmed from a Bitcoin account the female victim opened in the name of Monique Delannoy-Jodoin, 59, of Manville, R.I., one of the home invasion suspects. Bitcoin is a virtual currency.
Police said Delannoy-Jodoin wanted passwords and money she said was stolen from her.
Delannoy-Jodoin was charged with risk of injury to a child, home invasion, third-degree criminal mischief, sixth-degree larceny, first-degree robbery, second-degree breach of peace, criminal use of a weapon, second-degree assault with a weapon, five counts of first-degree threatening and four counts of second-degree reckless endangerment.
Police said Delannoy-Jodoin was also under investigation in Rhode Island in connection to narcotics sales and delivery through the postal system.
Beatriz Viruet, 38, from Providence, was charged with home invasion, first-degree robbery and second-degree breach of peace.
