Man convicted in violent Bitcoin robbery during classified ad deal & separate shooting
The Midden-Nederland court sentenced 19-year-old Ario S. to three years in prison, one of which was conditionally suspended, for a violent robbery in which he helped steal the victim’s cryptocurrencies, specifically, Bitcoin and Ethereum. The man was also sentenced to 8 months in prison for a separate case in which he shot a man and left him blind in one eye.

The cryptocurrency robbery happened on 3 December 2022. The victim responded to a Marktplaats ad to buy Bitcoin. He went to the agreed address in Lelystad and was attacked by several men. They beat him up, hit him in the head with a firearm, and forced him to transfer around 30,000 euros worth of his cryptocurrency to them.

The police traced the victim’s cryptocurrency to the S.’s digital wallet. The authorities also found a converted gas pistol under the pillow of a now-convicted co-suspect in this case that looks strikingly like a weapon S. is holding in photos on his phone. The victim’s DNA was also found on the pistol.

In court, S. claimed that he only had the coins because he had to exchange them for the victim. But the court did not believe this explanation. The court sentenced S. to three years in prison, one of which is conditionally suspended, and ordered him to pay over 8,000 euros in damages to the victim—S.’s share of the loot.
