feat(sources): Wayback pass, automatic trimming, detention rule, ten cases re-sourced
Second and third rounds on the dossier pipeline, reviewed locally before commit. Retrieval - wayback_pass.py: retries every BLOCKED/DEAD/THIN/ERROR linked source through the Wayback Machine; blocks carry the snapshot date, archive URL and the live verdict. 143 slots retried: 93 fetched, 37 no snapshot, 12 script shells, 1 PDF. - fetch_sources.py: fetch_wayback() helper. - add_extra_sources.py: files staged extra_* finds (web search, not on the DB record) into the store with a provenance note. - Cases re-sourced by web search: 248 (Oslo: Document.no, Avisa Oslo, NRK; the linked Le Parisien piece is case 242 and is marked OFF-CASE), 258 Kharkiv, 260 Singapore, 358 Bangkok, 365 Las Vegas, 388 Verneuil-sur-Seine, 390 Zoersel, 430 Homestead. 341 of 364 cases now hold a fetched article; 11, 66 and 399 have no public text source (podcast, police video, direct victim report). Trimming - auto_trim.py: case-anchored furniture cut for UNTRIMMED blocks. Finds the body run that mentions the case, merges across subheadings and short furniture gaps, drops teasers, share bars, date/URL/caption lines and subscription pitches; refuses pages with no record term or almost no body. 302 blocks trimmed; 16 left on auto-trim-review.md (7 OFF-CASE suspects). Every cut is labelled AUTO-TRIMMED, UNREVIEWED in the dossier; the full extract stays in staging/. Decisions with anchors in trim-decisions-auto.json. - build_cases.py / verify_all.py: banners for auto-trimmed and archived blocks, staged-file check extended to Wayback blocks, flag legend under the record. Detention rule - README "Definitions": the DB field `kidnappings` is the DETENTION violence type (victim, guard, staff or relative held to force submission or execute the theft), distinct from the Kidnapping scenario (taken away and held). - detention-flag-review.md / detention-flag-corrections.json: 40 records reviewed with evidence; 30 set-to-1 proposals accepted by the owner on 2026-09-06 (listed in corrections-approved.md), 10 still open. - apply_detention_wording.py: "Violence Used" in the 70 reviewed summaries now names detention explicitly (62 of 70 labelled), supported by the summary's own text; idempotent; supersedes the batch scripts' wording. Worklist and docs - sofia-worklist.md: 248 decisions, detention rule item replacing the old "no abduction" item, fresh-search section for the textless cases. - README-START-HERE.md: progress notes, run commands, next steps. - Bug fixed in passing: Wayback blocks stored in-memory text with carriage returns; now stored as read back from disk. verify_all.py PASSES (2321 checks).

Dieven stelen 2000 euro uit bitcoinautomaat in Delft | Binnenland | AD.nl

Dieven hebben maandagnacht 'zijn' bitcoin wisselautomaat ontvreemd uit stadscafé De Waag aan de Markt. Klanten van het café konden in de automaat hun bankbiljetten omwisselen voor virtuele bitcoins, waarmee onder meer aan de bar betaald kon worden. In het apparaat zat ten tijde van de diefstal zo'n 2000 euro aan bankbiljetten.
|
||||
|
||||
,,De dieven hebben er behoorlijk wat moeite voor moeten doen,'' zegt directeur Robert Nederhoed van leverancier Bitmymoney. ,,De automaat van 50 kilo zat verankerd aan de grond en de muur, maar dat was kennelijk geen belemmering.'' De diefstal was een gerichte slag, betoogt hij. "Uit de rest van het café is niets meegenomen. De inbrekers kwamen alleen voor de automaat.''
|
||||
|
||||
De ondernemer denkt niet dat er snel weer een automaat terugkomt. "Het apparaat is meer als ludiek geintje bedoeld. Wel een duur geintje, want een nieuwe kost me al gauw 4000 euro. Ik denk niet dat het die investering waard is.''
|
||||
|
||||
Wie zelf eens wil experimenteren met bitcoins moet zijn ogen en oren goed de kost geven. Nederhoed looft 10 bitcoins uit voor een tip die leidt naar de opsporing van de automaat.

Ze staan voor vrijheid en zijn tegen discriminatie. Daar past het handhaven van een coronapas niet bij, zeggen de eigenaren van het Utrechtse restaurant Waku Waku. De kwestie houdt de gemoederen flink bezig. Maar is de coronapas een inperking van de vrijheid, een inbreuk op de grondrechten? Volgens Janneke Gerards, hoogleraar fundamentele rechten aan de Universiteit Utrecht, is de inbreuk op grondrechten niet zo groot.

Veel mensen met psychische problemen zoals depressie, angsten, psychotrauma, persoonlijkheidsproblemen en ADHD die nu op lange wachtlijsten staan voor hulp, kunnen wél direct terecht voor een online behandeling. Maar door onbekendheid daarmee bij huisartsen én patiënten melden ze zich bijna niet aan. ,,Terwijl praten vanuit je eigen omgeving het makkelijker maakt om eerlijk te zijn.’’

Heel even leek het einde van alle kabelwirwar in zicht: een wetsvoorstel van de Europese Commissie pleit voor één universele oplader, zodat alle smartphones voortaan één soort kabel gebruiken. Maar er is een kans dat Apple deze maatregel via een omweg weet te omzeilen, waardoor je iPhone alsnog anders oplaadt.

Het ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid (SZW) zegt dat het niets kan doen tegen werkgevers die van hun werknemers eisen dat ze een coronavaccinatiebewijs laten zien als ze op kantoor willen zitten. Hoewel het verboden is, staat dat niet expliciet in de wet en kan het ministerie dus niet optreden tegen deze werkgevers.

Durham man says 'enemies' called 911 to report false hostage situation
|
||||
|
||||
DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) – A Durham man is claiming that he’s the latest victim of “swatting” after someone anonymously called police to report a false hostage situation at his home on Monday morning.
|
||||
|
||||
Police responded to the 1300 block of Whispering Oaks Lane in response to call about a hostage situation at one of the homes on the street. The call came in around 9 a.m., police said.
|
||||
|
||||
The 911 caller told dispatch he had already shot someone and was holding others hostage in the house.Listen to the 911 call at the top of this story
|
||||
|
||||
The caller also said he had explosives by the front door.
|
||||
|
||||
“By my voice, you can tell I’m not in a mental health state,” the caller said. “I’m all over the place. I don’t know what to do.”
|
||||
|
||||
The caller then began to make demands.
|
||||
|
||||
“If I don’t get $60,000, I’m going to blow the whole (expletive) block up,” the caller said. “If I see any police coming toward the front door who aren’t handling a bag full of money, I’ll shoot them on sight.”
|
||||
|
||||
The caller also tells the dispatcher he shot the victim 15 times with an assault rifle.
|
||||
|
||||
Authorities staged nearby on Cardinal Lake Drive while they worked to determine what was happening.
|
||||
|
||||
Police, EMS, a mobile command truck and armed officers in bulletproof vests were all at the scene. When authorities approached the home, the owner came out and told them that the call was false and that they never made any call to police and there was no hostage situation at the home.
|
||||
|
||||
Homeowner Jameson Lopp told CBS North Carolina that he works for a software company and has made several online, anonymous “enemies” and that he believes one of them was getting “revenge.”
|
||||
|
||||
“I am not intimated by this. This is actually, from my perspective evidence that the people who want to do this do not have the guts to say anything to my face. They don’t have the guts to come here and actually tell me what their problem is with me,” said Lopp.
|
||||
|
||||
Durham police have not confirmed this to be a swatting case. At last check, police have not been able to track the caller.

|
||||
|
||||
TAIWAN: Taiwan police have arrested four men over a bitcoin robbery worth 5 million Taiwanese dollars in what they said was the first case of its kind on the island.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin is a virtual currency created from computer code that allows anonymous transactions and its value has soared since it came into being in 2009.
|
||||
|
||||
Taiwan police said three men in their early twenties lured a man surnamed Tai to the central city of Taichung, pretending to be interested in buying bitcoins.
|
||||
|
||||
After Tai showed proof of his bitcoins on his phone, the scammers assaulted him and his friend, then transferred 18 bitcoins worth 5 million Taiwanese dollars from Tai’s account via his phone.
|
||||
|
||||
The suspects attempted to pass off the heist as a drunken row by forcing the victim to drink Kaoliang, a strong Taiwanese liquor, Taichung city police said in a statement.
|
||||
|
||||
Police arrived at the scene after receiving a call about a dispute and one man was detained. The other two had fled.
|
||||
|
||||
“The police saw bloodstains at the scene ... after further investigation, it was discovered to be a bitcoin virtual currency robbery,” the statement released Wednesday said.
|
||||
|
||||
It described the case, which happened earlier this month, as “the first domestic case of bitcoin robbery.”
|
||||
|
||||
The two other suspects were later arrested, one on the outlying island of Kinmen where he had gone to escape police.
|
||||
|
||||
The fourth man, surnamed Shih, believed to be the mastermind behind the robbery, was also detained.
|
||||
|
||||
Britain saw its first Bitcoin armed robbery last month, according to reports, in which a virtual currency trader and his wife were threatened with a gun.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are independent of governments and banks and use blockchain technology, where encrypted digital coins are created by supercomputers.
|
||||
|
||||
But calls are mounting for virtual currencies to be regulated, and prices have fluctuated in recent months amid concerns over tightened control.

A Bitcoin deal at a Miami Whole Foods ends in a shooting | Miami Herald
|
||||
|
||||
A shooting in downtown Miami that left one man badly injured and under arrest was a Bitcoin deal gone bad, police said.
|
||||
|
||||
The blown-up business deal last week, according to police, involved two men — Ryan Rice and an unidentified companion — who started the day in Gainesville with $30,000 cash and a plan to turn it into $35,000 worth of Bitcoin.
|
||||
|
||||
Rice told police he was concerned about his safety because of the large amount of cash involved. That premonition proved prophetic, police said.
|
||||
|
||||
Shortly after the pair met up at a Whole Foods with the Bitcoin dealer, whom police have not identified, the transaction turned violent. A fourth man, Marcarrous Clark, rushed them in a parking garage and a struggle erupted for the cash. Rice, police say, shot Clark but he has not been charged. Police are treating the shooting as self-defense though the investigation is ongoing.
|
||||
|
||||
"One guy said, 'Back off, I have a weapon,' " said Miami police spokeswoman Kiara Delva. "The other guy charged at the victim anyway."
|
||||
|
||||
Clark was still hospitalized Monday, almost a week after the incident. He's been charged with strong-arm attempted robbery.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that works without a centralized banking system. Its value fluctuates because of a number of factors, including how it's perceived by the public, retailers and currency speculators. When last week's deal went sour, Bitcoin was trading at about $7,000 a coin. On Monday, its value had increased to almost $8,000.
|
||||
|
||||
According to Miami police, the deal was intentionally set up to happen at a "public place" — in this case, the Whole Foods supermarket at 299 SE Third St.
|
||||
|
||||
Inside Rice's vehicle in the parking garage, Rice handed over the $30,000, according to Clark's arrest report. At that point, the Bitcoin transfer was supposed to be made over the Internet. When the Bitcoin seller told Rice and his associate that he was afraid to walk to his vehicle with so much money, they agreed to escort him.
|
||||
|
||||
But while walking through a stairwell in the garage, Clark appeared and grabbed at a backpack with the cash in it. When Rice pulled a gun and warned Clark he would shoot, the arrest report says, Clark still charged at him. Rice fired his weapon. Clark stumbled about two blocks before collapsing. Miami Fire Rescue took him to the hospital. His condition Monday was unknown.
|
||||
|
||||
Local streets were blocked off until police were certain there wasn't a gunman on the loose, which snarled traffic in the area for hours.

Authorities said they had identified the Gulf gang leader just four hours after the incident, which helped them arrest the 10 members in as fast as 48 hours, despite initial lack of evidence.

Gericht in Österreich beginnt Verfahren gegen Krypto-Räuberbande
|
||||
|
||||
In Österreich müssen sich fünf Männer wegen des Diebstahls von umgerechnet 210.000 Euro an Kryptowährung vor Gericht verantworten.
|
||||
|
||||
In der österreichischen Stadt Wels müssen sich fünf Männer wegen eines Überfalls und Raubes von umgerechnet 210.000 Euro vor Gericht verantworten, meldete OÖNachrichten am 27. März.
|
||||
|
||||
Bei dem Drahtzieher soll es sich um einen 21-jährigen Oberösterreicher handeln, der den Überfall gemeinsam mit seinem bereits vorbestraften Vater geplant habe. Dieser werde aufgrund seiner kriminellen Vorgeschichte in einem gesonderten Verfahren verfolgt, schreibt die Nachrichtenseite.
|
||||
|
||||
Den an dem Überfall beteiligten fünf Männern wird erpresserische Entführung, schwerer Raub, schwere Nötigung und schwere Erpressung vorgeworfen. Einige der nach Aussagen ihrer Verteidiger im Wesentlichen geständigen Männer geben an, nur von einer Schuldeneintreibungsaktion ausgegangen zu sein.
|
||||
|
||||
Einer der Männer hatte offenbar vor dem Überfall bei dem beraubten Krypto-Trader einen fünfstelligen Betrag angelegt und verloren. Diese “Schulden” habe er eintreiben wollen, die Sache habe dann aber eine nach seinen Worten “furchtbare Eigendynamik” entwickelt.
|
||||
|
||||
Bei dem Überfall gaben sich die Täter als Paketzusteller aus, um sich Zugang zur Wohnung zu verschaffen. Den Trader fesselten sie in einem Abstellraum mit Klebeband an einen Stuhl und brachten dessen Lebensgefährtin mit ihrem ebenfalls anwesenden Baby in das Schlafzimmer, wo sie ebenfalls gefesselt wurde.
|
||||
|
||||
Während des eineinhalb Stunden dauernden Überfalls wurden die Opfer mit dem Messer bedroht, um die Zugangscodes zu diversen Online-Börsen zu bekommen. Neben Kryptowährung im Wert von 210.000 Euro, das einer der Täter transferieren konnte, erbeuteten die Männer auch Schmuck, Goldmünzen, Elektronikgeräte sowie teure Markenkleidung.
|
||||
|
||||
Zu Überfällen von Krypto-Dieben kommt es immer wieder. Bei einem Überfall im letzten Jahr war ein russischer Geschäftsmann als Geisel genommen worden, bis dieser sich an seinem Computer anmeldete und umgerechnet rund 81.000 Euro in Bitcoin an seine Angreifer überwies. Ein anderer russischer Investor war bei einem ähnlichen Krypto-Raub um umgerechnet 348.000 Euro bestohlen worden.

Northborough Man Pleads Guilty to Aiding Romance and Lottery Schemes Targeting Elderly
|
||||
|
||||
U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Massachusetts
|
||||
|
||||
BOSTON – A Northborough man pleaded guilty today in federal court in Worcester to his role in more than $600,000 in fraud schemes targeting elderly victims, and agreeing to launder the proceeds of such schemes and other criminal activity.
|
||||
|
||||
Austin Nedved, 29, pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy. U.S. District Court Judge Timothy S. Hillman scheduled sentencing for April 7, 2020. Nedved is in custody serving a sentence for a separate fraud conviction in the Eastern District of Kentucky.
|
||||
|
||||
Nedved admitted that he ran a business in which he bought and sold digital currencies, including Bitcoin, for cash. Nedved advertised his services under the screen name “USMC1991” over LocalBitcoins.com and Paxful.com, two online businesses that matched Bitcoin buyers and sellers and facilitated their transactions.
|
||||
|
||||
From at least 2017 through 2019, Nedved aided and abetted romance and lottery schemes targeting vulnerable victims. In romance schemes, victims are targeted to send money abroad to people they believe to be romantic interests, while in lottery schemes victims are convinced that they can obtain lottery winnings or sizeable government grants by forwarding cash for administrative fees or expenses to the fraudsters. Despite knowing or being willfully blind to the fact that his customers were fraud victims, Nedved sold Bitcoin to them so that they could send money overseas to the fraudsters.
|
||||
|
||||
In late 2017, an individual posing as “Jonathan G.” led a 78-year old victim to believe over social media that he was a Weston, Mass. businessman who owned an oil company. Without ever meeting “Jonathan G.” in person, the victim fell in love and agreed to marry him. “Jonathan G.” then falsely told the victim that his oil company had experienced an accident abroad in which people had died, and that he needed money to settle obligations arising from the accident with a foreign government. “Jonathan G.” claimed that until he did so, he would not be able to return to the United States to marry the victim. “Jonathan G.” told the victim to pay him via Bitcoin. The victim, who had never before purchased digital currency, agreed to send him money and contacted Nedved by phone and text message in Massachusetts to arrange a cash-for-Bitcoin transaction.
|
||||
|
||||
On June 25, 2018, in a parking lot in Kittery, Maine, the victim gave Nedved a cashier’s check to purchase approximately $100,000 in bitcoin. Nedved then released approximately $100,000 in Bitcoin, less his commission, to a Bitcoin wallet controlled by “Jonathan G.” When Nedved accepted $100,000 from the victim, Nedved knew or was willfully blind to the fact that the victim was a romance scam victim. On June 29, 2018, in Leominster, Nedved and a co-conspirator took another $40,000 from the victim.
|
||||
|
||||
In total, Nedved and co-conspirators, in exchange for payment, converted to Bitcoin more than $630,000 in cash that they received from others, knowing that the cash constituted proceeds of romance and lottery scams and other unlawful activities. They then either returned the proceeds in Bitcoin to the source of the cash or forwarded the Bitcoin proceeds to unidentified third parties.
|
||||
|
||||
The charges of aiding and abetting wire fraud provide for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000 or twice the gross gain or loss, whichever is greater. The charge of money laundering conspiracy provides for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $500,000 or twice the value of the funds involved in the financial transactions that were the object of conspiracy. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
|
||||
|
||||
United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling; David Magdycz, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston; and Joleen Simpson, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigations made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth B. Kosto, Deputy Chief of Lelling’s Securities, Financial & Cyber Fraud Unit, is prosecuting the case.

Police are looking for a gang of masked men who raided a Bitcoin exchange in the English city of Birmingham.
|

|
||||
A gang of masked men have raided a Bitcoin (BTC) exchange in the English city of Birmingham, sparking a police investigation.
|
||||
|
||||
Local Facebook page Brumz Updates posted footage of the burglars ransacking the building as sirens blared on July 15.
|
||||
|
||||
Witnesses look on helplessly as the robbery unfolds — and seconds later, the gang speed away from the scene in a waiting car.
|
||||
|
||||
West Midlands Police has launched an investigation, but have confirmed that nothing of value was stolen from the business.
|
||||
|
||||
According to the Daily Mail, the thieves had attempted to steal a Bitcoin ATM using a rope attached to their car.
|
||||
|
||||
The owner of the establishment, Adam Gramowski, told the newspaper that he believes the robbers were after cash inside the machine rather than cryptocurrency, adding:
|
||||
|
||||
“There are no BTC [Bitcoin] in the machine, they are being sent directly from our server.”
|
||||
|
||||
Violent raids targeting Bitcoin businesses and traders are becoming more common. In February, a Bitcoin trader was attacked in his own home by a group of robbers disguised as the police.

Kingpin of a bitcoin scam worth Rs 485 crore beaten to death in Dehradun: Cops (Representational Image)
|
||||
|
||||
The kingpin of a bitcoin scam worth Rs 485 crore that had its roots in Kerala was beaten to death by five of his associates in Dehradun, a senior police official said this morning.
|
||||
|
||||
"The scam has its roots in Kerala and the kingpin, Abdul Shakoor, as well as his associates hail from the southern state," senior police officer in Dehradun Arun Mohan Joshi said.
|
||||
|
||||
The police officer added that a search was underway to arrest five more close aides of Abdul Shakoor - Ashique, Arshad, Yasin, Rehaab and Muneef.
|
||||
|
||||
Giving details, the police officer said, "(Abdul) Shakoor ran a bitcoin business and had allegedly collected around Rs 485 crore for investing in crypto-currency from residents of Pandikkad, Manjeri and Malappuram in Kerala."
|
||||
|
||||
"Shakoor's animosity with his team members started when he allegedly suffered losses in the business and escaped to Dehradun as people who had invested in bitcoins through his associates began chasing them for their money," police said.
|
||||
|
||||
"When his associates asked him about the money, Shakoor allegedly told them that his bitcoin account had been hacked. Not convinced, his associates hatched a plan to retrieve the password of his account.
|
||||
|
||||
They arrived in Dehradun, where Shakoor had been living in a rented house, and pressured him for the password. As Shakoor refused to give in, they began torturing him as they believed Shakoor still had hundreds of crores in his account and was deceiving them," police official Arun Joshi added.
|
||||
|
||||
"The torture continued, ultimately leading to Shakoor's death," police officials said, adding that the body had multiple injury marks.
|
||||
|
||||
"His killers took him to two hospitals in the city as he fell unconscious but when doctors at both facilities declared him dead, they fled leaving his body behind," Police officer Arun Joshi said.
|
||||
|
||||
"The accused are being interrogated even as the search for five others is on," police officials said.

The 17-year-old entrepreneur was tied down in a hotel bathroom, with a pillow over his head, and threatened with a machete, before being bundled into a car boot and driven round. The boy was so scared he hid hairs he found in the car boot in his pocket, to provide forensic evidence for a murder investigation if he was killed.
|
||||
|
||||
He was eventually dumped in Chorley and ran to a stranger’s house for help, Preston Crown Court heard.
|
||||
|
||||
In January 2020, the successful 17-year-old, who can not be named for legal reasons, had reached his £10,000 cryptocurrency withdrawal limit and needed help accessing more funds to continue his enterprise, Preston Crown Court heard. News of the teenager's success was 'common knowledge' and Tasmina Rhaman, 21, contacted him, offering to help.
|
||||
|
||||
Using a fake Snapchat profile, Rhaman arranged to meet the teenager at the Travelodge in New Hall Lane but when Rhaman was delayed they rearranged the meeting for the Winckley Square apartments on Sunday January 16. Clare Thomas, prosecuting, said the teenager hoped to meet in a public place, but Rahman insisted on meeting indoors.
|
||||
|
||||
"That is because there was a plan to kidnap him", she told the court.
|
||||
|
||||
On January 16, the trader and a friend went to the apartment, which had been paid for by Rahman. However when they arrived she told them she needed a phone charger and the boys agreed to fetch one from home.
|
||||
|
||||
While they were away, Rahman's 16-year-old cousin, and Takudzwa Murombedzi, 20, went to the hotel room and lay in wait. The 16-year-old had a machete and had his hood up, while Murombedzi wore a balaclava. "They had an arrangement to act together to get money from him", Ms Thomas said.
|
||||
|
||||
When the teenager returned he was "outnumbered and taken by surprise." Murombedzi and the 16-year-old forced the teenager into the hotel bathroom, where bin bags had been taped to the walls to create the impression there would be blood shed.
|
||||
|
||||
"His hands were restrained, his mobile phone taken from him, a pillow placed over his head and bin bags stuffed in his mouth", Ms Thomas said. "They said they knew he had £20,000 and said he would be killed if he didn't give it to them. He was forced to open his mobile phone and they said they would hurt his mum and his younger brother if he did not give it to them.
|
||||
|
||||
"Ms Rahman was smiling as he was being tied up and threatened with the machete. The victim said he did not have £20,000 and was forced to sit on the toilet until they got a chair. They said they would share on social media to humiliate him."
|
||||
|
||||
Ms Thomas said the plan seemed to be Rahman's idea to get the victim's home address and pay his family a visit. The 16-year-old made a bizarre claim that he too was a victim of the gang, but said he would help the teenager by taking the money from him and handing it over to the girl.
|
||||
|
||||
"He (the victim) formed the impression the 16-year-old was the mastermind", Ms Thomas said.
|
||||
|
||||
Rahman went to the teenager's home, along with Albert Kahiya, 19, who was the gang's designated driver. Kahiya told the victim's mum her son was with friends and he was there to collect some things. "She was shocked and scared that her son was missing, and she had a young child in the house", Ms Thomas said.
|
||||
|
||||
"He (the victim) was put on the phone and told to drop £20,000 out of the window. He hoped his mum would realise he was in danger and phone the police."
|
||||
|
||||
Back at the hotel the teenager was untied and the bin bags were removed from his mouth and hands. He was ordered into the boot of a waiting Peugeot, where he feared he would be killed. With Kahiya in the driver's seat, and Murombedzi in the passenger seat, the terrified teenager attempted to gather forensic evidence for what he feared could be a future murder investigation. He was eventually let out in Chorley, where he ran to a random house in distress.
|
||||
|
||||
In a victim statement, the teenager says he feels uneasy and paranoid since the kidnap. He feels threatened and victimised when he leaves the house and finds it hard to get up for college.
|
||||
|
||||
Before this happened he was very sociable and enjoyed going out with his family, but now he is constantly watching his back. When he leaves the house he worries he is being followed, he said.
|
||||
|
||||
His parents have also been affected and constantly check the home security. He suffers flashbacks and panic attacks and is on a waiting list for counselling. In a letter to the court, the 16-year-old defendant said he was sorry for what he had done, and hoped the victim and his family got peace of mind from the outcome of the hearing. He said he hoped to train as a youth worker to help other young people.
|
||||
|
||||
Beverley Hackett, defending Kahiya said he did not know the true extent of what he was getting involved in when he agreed to go to Preston. Ms Hackett said her client was an otherwise unremarkable young person, with no criminal record, wo lives with his parents and works in a warehouse.
|
||||
|
||||
Speaking on behalf of Murombedzi, Daniel Harman said: “He is an impressive young man who made a catastrophic, life changing mistake.” He added his client had acted with an extreme level of naivety.
|
||||
|
||||
Murombedzi, of Harebell Road, Didcock, Oxfordshire, and the 16-year-old defendant pleaded guilty to robbery and conspiracy to kidnap. Rahman, of Holland Road, Sheffield, and Kahiya, of Willow Way, Coventry, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to kidnap.
|
||||
|
||||
Sentencing, Judge Darren Preston said: “Your victim appears to have done well for himself trading in cryptocurrency, despite being only 17 years old. Together you hatched a plot, whereby Rahman lured him into your collective web using a fake Snapchat name because it seems he was unable, due to his age, to get sufficiient credit to trade as he wanted to.
|
||||
|
||||
“There was a plot to set him up. He feared for his life. This was a terrifying experience for anyone, let alone a 17-year-old. The whole enterprise was planned. It was designed to cause maximum fear and distress
|
||||
|
||||
“The effects on him have been long lasting with serious psychological and social consequences. Each of you got involved in this serious criminality, and given that you are all from decent families, and two or three of you have been in employment and contributing to society. All of you are polite, decent, family oriented individuals. Why you got involved in this is difficult to fathom as this is serious criminality. If you were adults you would be getting sentences measured in double figures.”
|
||||
|
||||
He sentenced Murombedzi and the 16-year-old defendant to six years each for the robbery and five years for the kidnap to run concurrently, to be served in a young offenders institute. Kahiya, who played a lesser role, was sentenced to four years. Rahman was not represented at the hearing and will be sentenced on January 16.

Philadelphia Police Searching For 2 Suspects Who Broke Into Bitcoin Machine, Stole Cash Box - CBS Philadelphia
|
||||
|
||||
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia police are searching for two suspects who broke into a Bitcoin machine and took the cash box from inside. The incident happened Tuesday, shortly before 6 a.m., at a store on the 7200 block of Frankford Avenue in the Mayfair section of the city.
|
||||
|
||||
The store manager says this wasn't the thieves' first rodeo, suggesting the suspects looked like they knew what they were doing. He's hoping someone at home knows who the two men are.
|
||||
|
||||
"It happened really fast. They came, I don't know what they call it, a machete or something, and they just popped it open," Mayfair Quick Mart Manager Hashid Alsaidi said.
|
||||
|
||||
Police released surveillance video they want you to see.
|
||||
|
||||
Two brazen robbers used crowbars to break into a bitcoin ATM early on Tuesday morning.
|
||||
|
||||
"They looked like they knew what they were doing. It was so fast," Alsaidi said.
|
||||
|
||||
Alsaidi manages the store on the 7200 block of Frankford Avenue in Mayfair.
|
||||
|
||||
He says it all happened in a matter of seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
As the store employee called 911, the robbers took off in a white car.
|
||||
|
||||
"I think people can send money overseas from this machine and they can buy Bitcoin currency," Alsaidi said.
|
||||
|
||||
What surprised Alsaidi is, they didn't touch the ATM that was within an arm's reach.
|
||||
|
||||
He says the bitcoin ATM isn't very popular and he doesn't believe the pair made away with much.
|
||||
|
||||
"Honestly, it wasn't doing good anyway," Alsaidi said.
|
||||
|
||||
The "Bitbox" may be unavailable now, but store management says it'll be operational again soon as police work to make an arrest.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have any information about this incident, contact police at 215-686-3153.

Student forced to transfer bitcoin now worth £68k after being held at knifepoint stunned after cops drop probe | The US Sun
|
||||
|
||||
A FRESHER was robbed at knifepoint for Bitcoin now worth a whopping £68,000 during his first week at university.
|
||||
|
||||
The lad was forced to move back home after eight thugs stormed his accommodation in Kent and demanded the security passwords to his financial apps.
|
||||
|
||||
Now his horrified mum has warned others to take care after the 20-minute ordeal at Canterbury Christ Church University.
|
||||
|
||||
She said her son had been discussing cryptocurrency with a new friend on campus just five days after he started his course.
|
||||
|
||||
She said: "It was the first friend my son made from university and he was from London.
|
||||
|
||||
"They were just having lads' talk.
|
||||
|
||||
"The conversation turned to financial and the friend started talking about cyber currency."
|
||||
|
||||
The mother alleges the other student then invited eight school friends over from East London - and her son instantly "knew he was in trouble".

|
||||
|
||||
No one was ever charged in connection with the incident.
|
||||
|
||||
The student's cryptocurrency was worth £6,000 at the time of the robbery last year - but its value has leapt over the past 12 months.
|
||||
|
||||
A further £3,000 of his grant money was also stolen.
|
||||
|
||||
After the violent mugging, the victim phoned the police before rushing over to a security hut on the university premises.
|
||||
|
||||
The victim's mum alleges the security guards didn't attend the scene.
|
||||
|
||||
She said: "He phoned the police and they didn't attend because there was something more important on that night.
|
||||
|
||||
"The only action the university took was moving him to different accommodation.
|
||||
|
||||
"He was too traumatised so he moved back home even though he had safer and better accommodation.
|
||||
|
||||
"He was terrified, emasculated, humiliated and abused.
|
||||
|
||||
"You don't hand over nearly £10,000 if you don't think you're not going to get injured."
|
||||
|
||||
None of the money could be refunded and the police investigation was dropped after eight months.
|
||||
|
||||
The victim's mother said she was frustrated with the response from the security staff at the campus and how the police handled the case.
|
||||
|
||||
In a warning to other students, she said: "The police commonly call Freshers' Week 'fishing week' because all the criminals come down. They know the students have got grants, laptops, and new stuff.
|
||||
|
||||
"Attacks, assaults, and muggings are quite common across the country."
|
||||
|
||||
Canterbury District Commander Chief Inspector Mark Hedges confirmed that police were contacted about the robbery.
|
||||
|
||||
He said: "The incident was reported around 45 minutes after the robbery had taken place and during the call, it was established the offenders had left the scene.
|
||||
|
||||
He was terrified, emasculated, humiliated and abused
|
||||
|
||||
"As a result, it was arranged for officers to visit the victim the following day, when further details of the robbery were disclosed, including the theft of a mobile phone and the transfer of a significant amount of cryptocurrency from the victim's account.
|
||||
|
||||
"A thorough investigation into the incident was carried out, including a review of local CCTV opportunities, analysis of Bitcoin 'wallet' IDs and exploration of possible forensic evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
"However, the case did not meet the evidential test and the three suspects were refused charge.
|
||||
|
||||
"Kent Police takes the safety of the county's student population extremely seriously and encourages all young people to take all steps possible to ensure they do not become victims of crime while studying away from home."
|
||||
|
||||
A spokesperson for CCCU said the safety of students is of "paramount importance".
|
||||
|
||||
They added: "The reported incident was investigated and thoroughly reviewed.
|
||||
|
||||
"We offered the student wellbeing counselling, financial support, and relocation of accommodation."

Bungled Bitcoin ATM theft in ‘meatspace’ won't ruin Thanksgiving

Two thieves have destroyed the front wall of a deli in Canada after a failed attempt to steal a Bitcoin ATM.
|
||||
|
||||
A delicatessen in the Canadian town of Kelowna, British Colombia has been severely damaged after two bumbling crooks attempted to steal a Bitcoin ATM installed in a store adjacent to it.
|
||||
|
||||
At roughly 3am on October 7, the two suspects unsuccessfully attempted to steal the Bitcoin ATM located on the back wall of the neighbouring store. While attempting to flee empty-handed they backed their white GMC Sierra pick-up truck into L&D Meats and Deli and smashed its front wall.
|
||||
|
||||
The chance they’ll be caught seems quite high, as local police noted that the thieves managed to leave their tailgate behind. Solana Paré, a spokesperson for Kelowna police stated:
|
||||
|
||||
“A preliminary assessment conducted by staff on-site, suggests that despite the thousands of dollars in damage caused, nothing appears to be taken from inside the business as the suspects were unsuccessful in taking the Bitcoin ATM.”
|
||||
|
||||
Given how inept the attempted theft was, you have to wonder if the criminals were hoping to steal the “Bitcoins’ inside the machine, or if they were after cash.
|
||||
|
||||
The deli’s owner Don Favell lamented the timing of the incident, noting that Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and his customers are expecting to receive pre-ordered meat before the holiday.
|
||||
|
||||
Favell said the damages will be covered by his insurance and that he is now focused on trying to get his business up and running again. He told local media: “That’s all we can do, look after everybody.”
|
||||
|
||||
“They will get their turkeys,” he vowed.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin ATM theft does not appear to attract the most sophisticated of criminals. In November 201, two thieves broke into a grocery store in British Colombia to crack open a Bitcoin ATM installed inside. They stole $4,000 but accidentally left $50,000 behi.

Surveillance video from a Silicon Valley liquor store shows thieves taking off with a Bitcoin ATM.
|
||||
|
||||
The store owner tells NBC Bay Area the incident occurred at 4:50 a.m. Thursday.

|
||||
|
||||
Video obtained by NBC Bay Area appears to show the Bitcoin ATM wrapped with a cord and tied to the back of a white van outside the liquor store. The van then drives forward to pull the machine through the front of the store, knocking out a front door.
|
||||
|
||||
Police said they are reviewing the surveillance video and are investigating.
|
||||
|
||||
No other information was available on the incident.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin ATMs have popped up across the United States over the past year. The machine allows customers to buy or sell the digital currency, and sometimes extract cash, according to a Reuters report on the growing popularity of Bitcoin ATMs.
|
||||
|
||||
NBC Bay Area’s Raj Mathai spoke with Business and Tech Reporter Scott Budman about the brazen burglary at a Sunnyvale liquor store.
|
||||
|
||||
"Honestly, if I was going after Bitcoin and trying to steal it, I would hack instead," said Caroline Chen, a business professor at San Jose State University. "Because then I know I can steal millions of dollars of Bitcoin in one fell swoop, instead of the ATM at the local convenience store that has $200 of actual cash in it."
|
||||
|
||||
There are now over 48,000 Bitcoin ATMs across the nation, according to independent research site howmanybitcoinatms.com.
|
||||
|
||||
Meanwhile, Bitcoin this week bounced back by topping $55,000, CNBC reported. It marked the highest level for the cryptocurrency since mid-May.

Thieves rip bitcoin ATM from Barcelona crypto-store | Reuters

|
||||
|
||||
MADRID, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Spanish police are investigating the robbery of a 'bitcoin ATM' in a raid on a cryptocurrency exchange outlet in a wealthy Barcelona neighbourhood, local media reported on Friday.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin ATMs allow customers to purchase cryptocurrency using cash or a debit card, while some also let users to exchange their crypto holdings for cash.
|
||||
|
||||
According to data from the Coin ATM radar website, which tracks the location of crypto ATMs, Spain has 158 such machines, the highest number in Europe.
|
||||
|
||||
Catalonia's Mossos d'Esquadra police force said an ATM had been stolen at around 3 a.m. and declined to provide any more information to avoid hindering the investigation.
|
||||
|
||||
Citing police sources, EFE news agency said thieves took the bitcoin ATM from a shop on Beethoven street in the Sarria area, home to a branch of the GBTC cryptocurrency exchange.
|
||||
|
||||
GBTC did not return multiple requests for comment and the police declined to confirm the exact location of the robbery.
|
||||
|
||||
An unverified video purporting to show the crime showed an SUV ramming into the closed shutters of the GBTC storefront before half a dozen or so people in hoods carried the cash machine into a second car waiting on the street.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the assailants sprayed a fire extinguisher at onlookers as the two cars sped off into the night.

Eleven inmates charges following serious 30-hour assault and extortion incident | Thunderbay

Eleven inmates charges following serious 30-hour assault and extortion incident
|
||||
|
||||
Police have filed a total of 137 charges against 11 inmates at the Thunder Bay District jail following a recent investigation into a violence incident that occurred at the facility.
|
||||
|
||||
Thunder Bay Police Service officers with the Uniform Patrol Branch were initially dispatched to the District Jail just before 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 29 following reports of a serious inmate-on-inmate assault.
|
||||
|
||||
Police learned that on Monday, Dec. 27, two male victims were forced into cells and not allowed to leave by 11 male suspects. The victims were repeatedly assaulted by the accused individuals while in the cells.
|
||||
|
||||
Between the assaults, and while still being held captive, the victims were allegedly forced to make phone calls to transfer crypto currency from accounts they had access to the accounts of the accused.
|
||||
|
||||
In the morning hours of Tuesday, Dec. 28, further assaults occurred while the victims were still being held captive. Correctional Officers were able to separate the involved parties during one of these incidents.
|
||||
|
||||
Victims were transported to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre for further evaluation of their injuries.
|
||||
|
||||
The investigation found the victims had been held captive for about 30 hours. Further investigation led police to identify 11 accused inmates.
|
||||
|
||||
Accused persons facing charges include one Thunder Bay male, one Timmins male, and nine other males from the Greater Toronto Area. Ages of the accused range from 18-to-32 years old. The Thunder Bay Police Service only identifies an accused after charges have been sworn before the courts.
|
||||
|
||||
Charges being filed include multiple counts of Assault Causing Bodily Harm, Forcible Confinement, Kidnapping, Extortion, Intimidation Using Violence, Obstruct Peace Officer, and Failure to Comply with Sentence.
|
||||
|
||||
The suspects will remain in custody and will be provided with future court appearance dates for the new charges they face.
|
||||
|
||||
The investigation remains ongoing.

|
||||
|
||||
A Pakistani crime ring that extorted a partial Bitcoin ransom has been busted.
|
||||
|
||||
All the news of a stand-off between Pakistan and India has shrouded earlier reports of an IT professor who was kidnapped and held for 20 million rupees. Shahid Naseer was kidnapped March 19th, according to a local media outlet . Faisal Yousuf, a student of Naseer’s, is named as the primary suspect.
|
||||
|
||||
Police Involved in Plot to Extort Over 60 BTC
|
||||
|
||||
Three police officials were involved with the ransom. One of them worked in a higher office, managing telephones for the city’s Deputy Commissioner. His name is Mazhar Abbas. He was arrested March 23rd. Two other police officials, both guards of a high court judge, were also arrested – Mohsin Abbas and Mohammad Arif.
|
||||
|
||||
A Lahore man called Mohammad Tahir is allegedly a Bitcoin money exchanger in the area. Together with Abdul Rauf, he is accused of helping the kidnappers have an outlet for the Bitcoin ransom they were demanding.
|
||||
|
||||
The kidnappers apparently placed a green license plate on a rental car while executing the kidnapping. Green license plates signify two types of official in Pakistan .
|
||||
|
||||
Naseer’s family paid out 2.5 million rupees worth of Bitcoin in an effort to bring him home. Police told Dawn, a local media outlet, that this is how they caught the kidnappers, “using digital technology.”
|
||||
|
||||
Victim’s Family Makes Down Payment, Police Crack The Case
|
||||
|
||||
2.5 million rupees will buy you about 9 BTC at current prices.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the first report we’ve seen about the kidnapping of Naseer. We note that Faisal Yousuf’s only connection to Naseer is that he was a student of the man. Apparently Yousuf had connections with some policemen. We can assume that being an IT professor, Naseer may have educated his students about cryptocurrency.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are routinely used as the preferred method of payment for modern kidnappings. In January, an American was abducted in Costa Rica, and a ransom demand of $1 million in BTC was delivered. The demand was paid but the man was not recovered immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
Also in January, two African men were arrested for kidnapping a young boy and demanding a Bitcoin ransom. Not long before that, a Norwegian millionaire was abducted. The abductors demanded $9 million in Monero, perhaps a wiser choice considering how the Lahore gang was apprehended (blockchain tracing).
|
||||
|
||||
Another assumption that seems reasonable to make, given the arrest of the two Bitcoin mongers, is that their role in the crime may have been oblivious. Some men, three of whom were police, contacted them about selling a significant sum of bitcoins, and they obliged. Whether justice shows them mercy as such remains to be seen.

Mimoun ‘Mims’ Y. (32) en Mohamed E.A. (22) uit Borgerhout werden gearresteerd toen zij vrijdagochtend probeerden te vluchten uit de woning in de Hertog van Brabantlei in Hoboken. Het Snelle Respons Team (SRT) kon de twee samen met enkele politiepatrouilles inrekenen. Later op de avond werd nog een derde verdachte, een 23-jarige uit Borsbeek, opgepakt.
|
||||
|
||||
De drie stonden vanmorgen voor de raadkamer op verdenking van diefstal met geweld bij nacht in bende. De mannen waren uit op cash geld maar toen zij dat niet vonden, probeerden zij de digitale portefeuille van de bewoner leeg te maken. Dat lukte niet.
|
||||
|
||||
De bewoner, een 34-jarige man, had die ochtend bezoek van zijn 61-jarige moeder. De twee slachtoffers werden hard aangepakt en moesten voor verzorging naar het ziekenhuis.
|
||||
|
||||
De raadkamer besliste de aanhouding van de drie verdachten met een maand te verlengen. Advocaat Koen Vaneecke, die optreedt voor Mohamed E.A., reageerde kort na de raadkamer: “Mijn client wordt verdacht van ernstige feiten. Zijn rol en aandeel zal verder worden onderzocht en in afwachting hiervan blijft hij verder aangehouden. Alleszins werd mijn client nooit eerder veroordeeld.”
|
||||
|
||||
Een vierde verdachte die pas woensdag werd opgepakt, een 29-jarige man uit Deurne, komt later voor de raadkamer.

In de nacht van 22 op 23 mei 1936 worden twee socialistische syndicalisten in de Antwerpse binnenstad neergekogeld door een fascist. De moord op Albert Pot (19) en Theo Grijp (37) gaf aanleiding tot de grootste algemene staking ooit in ons land, en betekende meteen ook het begin van onze moderne sociale zekerheid. De gebeurtenissen worden zaterdag om 14 uur door de socialistische vakbond ABVV herdacht.

Wie deze zomer niet wil puffen in een veel te warm huis, kan investeren in een airco of lucht-luchtwarmtepomp. Dat is een effectieve manier om de temperatuur binnenshuis het hele jaar door comfortabel te houden. In de zomer worden de kamers gekoeld en ontvochtigd en tijdens de winter doet de lucht-luchtwarmtepomp dienst als energiezuinige elektrische bijverwarming. Maar hoe zit het met de wachttijden voor die aircotoestellen? Ben je hopeloos te laat als je er nog eentje wil voor de zomer? Bouwsite Livios vroeg het aan Lieven Verstaen van Daikin.

Vanaf 1 juni verhoogt Orange een aantal van zijn prijzen. Reden daarvoor het ongeziene niveau van inflatie. Vooral minder gebruikte diensten, zoals MMS en internationaal bellen, komen bij Orange in het vizier. Roaming wordt zelfs dubbel zo duur. Daartegenover staat wel een verhoging van de datavolumes. Mijntelco.be bezorgt een overzicht.

Investor Charged With Kidnapping ‘Crypto King’ - The New York Times

|
||||
Canada|Investor Charged With Kidnapping ‘Crypto King’
|
||||
|
||||
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/20/world/canada/crypto-king-aiden-pleterski-kidnapping-arrest.html
|
||||
|
||||
Late one night in early December, Aiden Pleterski, a self-proclaimed “Crypto King,” was kidnapped, then beaten and tortured over three days, according to court records.
|
||||
|
||||
Eventually, his kidnappers — including one of his investors — let him go, but they left him with a threat: Pay up fast and don’t go to the police, court records said.
|
||||
|
||||
This week, Akil Heywood, 39, who had invested with Mr. Pleterski, 24, was charged with kidnapping him. The Toronto Police Service said in a statement on Monday that it had arrested and charged four men on counts of kidnapping for ransom and other charges: Mr. Heywood, Tyler Fast, 37, and Deren Akyeam-Pong, 24, all of Toronto, as well as Rakeem Henry, 24, of London.
|
||||
|
||||
Mr. Heywood was among dozens who invested with Mr. Pleterski, who was supposed to invest their money in cryptocurrency and foreign exchange positions, according to court documents. But after spending money feeding a lavish lifestyle, buying three Lamborghinis and three McLarens, Mr. Pleterski filed for bankruptcy in August, leaving investors wondering what had happened to their money.
|
||||
|
||||
Mr. Heywood, who did not respond to requests for comment this week, had filed a claim for losing $740,000 that he had invested with Mr. Pleterski, according to Grant Thornton, the appointed trustee in the bankruptcy case. It was unclear whether the three other men charged in the kidnapping had also invested with Mr. Pleterski.
|
||||
|
||||
Here’s what to know about Mr. Pleterski, his kidnapping and his bankruptcy filing.
|
||||
|
||||
A kidnapping in the middle of the night.
|
||||
|
||||
The Toronto Police Service said they were alerted about a missing person in the downtown Toronto area on Dec. 5. The victim in the kidnapping was “lured into a vehicle by the suspects,” and that once he was inside, two men pointed firearms at him, the police said.
|
||||
|
||||
The Toronto police did not name Mr. Pleterski when they announced the arrests, but court documents indicate that it was Mr. Pleterski who had been kidnapped on the night of Dec. 5.
|
||||
|
||||
The suspects “demanded a large amount of Canadian currency, and the victim’s life and family were threatened,” the police said.
|
||||
|
||||
The victim was “held captive” for three days while he was taken to several places, where he was assaulted, the police said. At one point over the three days, the police said, a firearm was discharged, but they did not say whether anyone was injured as a result.
|
||||
|
||||
After three days, the victim was let go in the downtown Toronto area, the police said.
|
||||
|
||||
In a court interview in December, Dragan Pleterski, Mr. Pleterski’s father, said that while he was kidnapped, his son was beaten and tortured, and that he was allowed to make phone calls only to specific people.
|
||||
|
||||
“I was not one of those people that he was allowed to contact,” Mr. Pleterski said. “He was released with the threat that he needed to come up with some money fast, and if he had went to the police, that there would be a lot more trouble.”
|
||||
|
||||
An investigation prompted the arrest of the four men in early July, one of whom had a loaded handgun, the police said.
|
||||
|
||||
Mr. Heywood was arrested on July 5 and was released on bail. Mr. Fast was also released on bail.
|
||||
|
||||
As of Wednesday, Mr. Henry had not had a bail hearing, and Mr. Akyeam-Pong was detained after his bail hearing, according to the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto.
|
||||
|
||||
Mr. Henry did not respond to requests for comment this week. Mr. Akyeam-Pong and Mr. Fast could not be reached, and it was unclear whether they had lawyers.
|
||||
|
||||
Who is Aiden Pleterski?
|
||||
|
||||
Mr. Pleterski, a “self-described ‘Crypto King,’” ran AP Private Equity Limited as an investment business, according to court documents.
|
||||
|
||||
Mr. Pleterski did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. Micheal Simaan, a lawyer for Mr. Pleterski, declined to comment on Wednesday.
|
||||
|
||||
Mr. Pleterski attended Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, to study cybersecurity, according to a court interview he did for his bankruptcy case in November before he was kidnapped.
|
||||
|
||||
In the interview, Mr. Pleterski said that he did not receive formal education in investing, cryptocurrencies, financial markets or foreign currency markets. Mr. Pleterski said that he started investing in cryptocurrency markets when he was about 16 or 17 after using cryptocurrency while playing videos games.
|
||||
|
||||
“That’s what piqued my interest,” he said, adding that “around the same time on social media, that’s when I started seeing some individuals, as well, posting luxury cars, posting luxury lifestyles.”
|
||||
|
||||
Mr. Pleterski said that he started investing with a few thousand dollars he had received from family members, including birthday money, and umpiring baseball games.
|
||||
|
||||
“The majority of the money came from family members,” he said in the interview.
|
||||
|
||||
Three McLarens, two Lamborghinis and three Audis
|
||||
|
||||
Mr. Pleterski incorporated AP Private Equity Limited on Dec. 13, 2021, according to court documents. Around that time, he started looking for people to invest in cryptocurrencies and foreign markets.
|
||||
|
||||
Several people, including Mr. Heywood, invested millions with Mr. Pleterski. According to court documents, Mr. Pleterski raised about $41.5 million from investors, but he invested only 1.6 percent of that money, “meaning that 98.4% of what Pleterski collected was never invested.”
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, Mr. Pleterski spent about $15.9 million on “elaborate vacations,” private jet rentals and several luxury vehicles, including three McLarens, two Lamborghinis, three Audis and two BMWs, according to court documents.
|
||||
|
||||
A banking analysis found that “the extravagant lifestyle that Pleterski lived, which was funded by his investors,” had “ultimately led to his bankruptcy,” court records said.
|
||||
|
||||
More than 150 creditors have filed claims against Mr. Pleterski in the bankruptcy case, according to Grant Thornton.
|
||||
|
||||
Mr. Pleterski appeared beaten in a video.
|
||||
|
||||
In a video received this week by CBC Toronto, a visibly beaten Mr. Pleterski apologized to investors and provided a timeline of what had happened to the money they lost. It is unclear when the video was taken, but Mr. Pleterski’s lawyer told the news outlet that his kidnappers had forced him to speak.
|
||||
|
||||
“When the crypto market started to tank in November of 2021, I should have been honest with everybody,” Mr. Pleterski said in the video, adding that he had lost about $45 million in the crypto market within a month.
|
||||
|
||||
“I lost enough to where my debts outweighed my assets,” he said, adding later in the video that he wanted to “make it right for everybody.”
|
||||
|
||||
“I’m going to do it before I go and buy myself another car, before I go and buy myself another watch, before I go and buy myself expensive clothing or anything,” Mr. Pleterski said. “I’m going to live on the bare minimum until every last soul is paid back.”

Twelve Defendants Sentenced for Violent Home Invasion Robberies to Steal Cryptocurrency
|
||||
|
||||
A Florida man was sentenced to 47 years in prison on Wednesday for his role in a scheme involving a series of home invasion robberies targeting cryptocurrency. Between Sept. 5 and Sept. 12, a total of 12 men have been sentenced for their role in the scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
According to court documents and evidence presented at the trial, Remy Ra St Felix, 25, of West Palm Beach, and his co-conspirators stole over $3.5 million from victims through SIM swapping and violent home invasions in which they held victims at gunpoint, assaulted them, and bound them with plastic cable ties. St Felix was convicted on June 25 by a federal jury in Greensboro, North Carolina, after a six-day trial. In addition to his sentence of incarceration, St Felix was sentenced to five years of supervised release and ordered to pay $524,153.39 in restitution.
|
||||
|
||||
According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, beginning in late 2020, St Felix’s co-conspirator, Jarod Gabriel Seemungal, 23, of West Palm Beach, and foreign co-conspirators stole cryptocurrency from victims’ accounts at exchanges. They obtained access to the accounts by gaining control of the victims’ phone numbers through SIM swapping. In 2022, Seemungal and his co-conspirators devised the home invasion scheme and recruited St Felix and others to assist with the invasions. St Felix later became the leader of the home invasion crew. In September 2022, St Felix and members of the crew committed violent home invasions in Delray Beach and Homestead, Florida. In Delray Beach, the victims were held at gunpoint in their home. In Homestead, a man and his family were held at gunpoint in their home, and then the man was abducted, held hostage, and beaten, before the man was found by law enforcement 120 miles from his home.
|
||||
|

Later in 2022, St Felix and his crew targeted a Little Elm, Texas, man and made several trips to attempt the robbery. In December 2022, Seemungal and a Houston-based crew comprised of Deangelo Lee Contreras, 21, Tristian Rene Gamez, 21, Victor Gonzalez, 27, Jesus Salazar, 24, Cristian Valdez, 21, and Jesus Gerardo Valdez, Jr., 27, all of Houston, Texas, committed the home invasion. The Little Elm man and members of his family were held at gunpoint and restrained in their home for over three hours, during which time members of the crew tortured the man and his mother. The perpetrators stole approximately $150,000.00 in cash, two Rolex watches, and a valuable necklace and pendant.
|
||||
|
||||
In April 2023, St Felix and Elmer Ruben Castro, 23, of West Palm Beach, invaded the home of a wife and a husband in Durham, North Carolina. Prior to the invasion, St Felix’s co-conspirators obtained unauthorized access to the couple’s email account and conducted multiple days of surveillance on their home. During the invasion, the men violently assaulted the couple, threatened them with guns, and restrained them with plastic cable ties. They forced the man to provide access to his computer and cryptocurrency exchange account. Seemungal then remotely accessed the computer and stole over $150,000.00 worth of cryptocurrency. Conspirators laundered the funds through anonymity-enhanced cryptocurrencies, as well as “instant exchanges” and decentralized finance platforms that did not conduct know-your-customer checks.
|
||||
|
||||
In July 2023, St Felix traveled from Florida to Long Island, New York, to commit a home invasion of a family of five. Before St Felix could do so, however, he was arrested. At the time of his arrest, St Felix was in possession of two firearms and plastic cable ties.
|
||||
|
||||
Throughout the conspiracy, the conspirators communicated via an encrypted messaging application to plan their crimes. They identified targets and discussed how to gain entry to homes, the tools required to carry out the crimes, the technical aspects of cryptocurrency, and the patterns of life of their targets. They also circulated pictures of their targets and their targets’ homes. In addition to the home invasions described above, conspirators used the encrypted messaging application to plan additional home invasion robberies in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Orlando, Florida; and Georgia. Seemungal and the foreign co-conspirators financed the purchase of rental cars, hotel rooms, and firearms by co-conspirators Haisel Daily, 22, of West Palm Beach, and Ruben Matias Nicolopulos Silva, 22, of Lake Worth, Florida, to use during the robberies.
|
||||
|
||||
Seemungal was also sentenced yesterday to 20 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release and ordered to pay $4,038,479.39 in restitution. Seemungal pleaded guilty on December 19, 2023, for his role in the scheme to steal cryptocurrency by hacking victims’ cryptocurrency accounts as well as the home invasion and robbery scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
On Feb. 6, Castro pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit kidnapping and kidnapping. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 1.

Colombia: Bitcoiner extranjero sufre robo de $20,000 en BTC - BeInCrypto
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
La victima fue drogada y al quedar inconsciente, robaron todas sus pertenecías del apartamento que se hospedaba.
|
||||
|
||||
Guardaba en el mismo lugar, su hardware wallet con acceso a su bitcoin y las palabras semillas de recuperación de esta.
|
||||
|
||||
Hay una posibilidad que pueda recuperar sus fondos, si logra extraer los BTC a tiempo, con unas palabras de recuperación de respalado que tiene en Alemanía.
|
||||
|
||||
Este 27 de febrero un bitcoiner extranjero fue drogado y robado en Medellín, Colombia. El crimen fue realizado por una mujer de 20 años, de nacionalidad venezolana, quien luego de dejarlo inconsciente, robó todo lo que vio de valor dentro del apartamento, incluida una maleta que contenía una wallet con acceso a $20,000 en bitcoin (BTC).
|
||||
|
||||
Los hechos fueron narrados por el bitcoiner con pseudónimo Gégé LSMR desde su cuenta de Twitter. Comienza explicando qué le pasó a su vecino, quien es oriundo de Alemania y de unos 36 años. Detalla que lo robó una prostituta con la que llegó a su apartamento, según de nacionalidad venezolana, y se llevó 5 celulares, el pasaporte, toda su vestimenta, cubiertos, alimentos, electrodomésticos y el equivalente a 20,000 USD en bitcoin (BTC).
|
||||
|
||||
A lo largo de su hilo explica detalles, como fue drogado su vecino con escopolamina, conocida comúnmente como burundanga en Latinoamérica. Ya que este 27 de febrero, entre las 9 o 10 de la noche, estaba tomando una copa de vino con ella y perdió la consciencia. Luego se levantó a las 8 de la mañana y se dio cuenta de lo sucedido. Todavía en la mañana seguía intoxicado.
|
||||
|
||||
La víctima tenía su hardware wallet y sus palabras semillas en el mismo maletín que se llevó la ladrona. Según, es probable que desconozca que se llevó unos bitcoin ahí, por lo que hay una posibilidad de que la victima los pueda recuperar. Su exesposa, en Alemania, podría tener acceso a unas palabras semillas de respaldo en unos días. Este sería el caso, al menos que la ladrona descubra las palabras semillas antes y conozca como usarlas.
|
||||
|
||||
Sobre este punto, explica que su vecino es nuevo en bitcoin, por eso su sistema de respaldo tan deficiente. Que es una persona dedicada al mundo financiero y los bitcoins robados es solo una pequeña porción de su fortuna. Añade que la víctima no sufrió algún daño físico más allá de la intoxicación.
|
||||
|
||||
En el resto de su hilo, se concentra en varios de sus seguidores, consultando detalles que evita responder y preguntas jocosas por lo único y raro de la situación de cómo un extranjero alemán en Colombia le roban 20,000 USD en bitcoin (BTC).

||||
Riesgos de custodia de bitcoin (BTC) a tener en cuenta en Colombia y en cualquier país extranjero
|
||||
|
||||
La naturaleza descentralizada y no regulada de las criptomonedas, como bitcoin (BTC), las ha convertido en un destino atractivo para aquellos que buscan explotar el anonimato y la falta de supervisión ofrecida por las criptomonedas. Esto ha llevado a un aumento en los delitos relacionados con criptomonedas en muchos países, incluyendo Colombia, que posee una gran cantidad de usuarios de criptomonedas.
|
||||
|
||||
Es importante que aquellos interesados en invertir en criptomonedas tomen precauciones y estén al tanto de los riesgos de custodia involucrados. Esto incluye el uso de billeteras seguras, evitar la publicación de información personal relacionada con la tenencia de criptomonedas, ser cautelosos al realizar transacciones en persona o en línea, resguardar sus palabras semillas lejos de su wallet y evitar acercarse a personas desconocidas en ambientes tan vulnerables.

Criminal gang who kidnapped vulnerable man for cryptocurrency jailed for 76 years
|
||||
|
||||
On 2 December 2023, police received an anonymous call reporting concerns for welfare at a flat in Irlam. Upon attending, police saw a man running away from the address – later identified as Karl Johnson.
|
||||
|
||||
They gained entrance and identified a victim who said to the officer ‘can you take me with you?’. He explained that he’d been brought to this property against his will with a bag over his head. He spoke of the ordeal they had subjected him to, he’d been violently assaulted and tied up.
|
||||
|
||||
Officers searched the address and found a dressing gown strap which had been tied to the bed, along with electrical cables. He also had a burn mark on his hand, and bruises on his body from where he had been hit with a weapon.
|
||||
|
||||
Detectives uncovered that the victim had acquired hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of cryptocurrency which the defendants, through use of violence, kidnap, and false imprisonment, sought to steal.
|
||||
|
||||
An investigation was immediately launched by our Criminal Investigation Department in Salford and from the address, police recovered more weapons. They seized a viable firearm, a magazine containing three rounds of ammunition, an imitation firearm and an air pistol, electrical cables, ropes, and cable ties which were used to restrain the victim, knives, meat cleavers, a metal baseball bat, a machete, and a hammer. Police also found documents belonging to Karl Johnson, and several cigarette butts which had DNA from Karl and Luke Johnson.
|
||||
|
||||
The victim said he did not who was doing this to him but explained that similar incidents had happened several months earlier, but they had let him go as he had paid them over £100,000.
|
||||
|
||||
As the investigation developed, detectives identified that these men had terrorised the victim on several occasions, demanding crypto currency, using machetes and a pistol to assault him, and even drugging him with morphine on one occasion.
|
||||
|
||||
In January 2023, the victim was at home when he heard a knock on his door. The man at the door threatened to assault him if he didn’t transfer cryptocurrency to Scott Armstrong. The victim transferred the money, and upon receipt, the man left.
|
||||
|
||||
Later that month, David Povey went back to the victims address with another man. They had a knife and were demanding more money.
|
||||
|
||||
In October 2023, the victim went to an address in Cadishead. When he arrived, Gary Edwards dragged him into the flat and he was tied up and forced to send more money. When he couldn’t pay immediately, they kept him restrained all night, subjected him to violent assaults, and locked him in a cupboard. If he didn’t pay, Kane Godiff told him he would be killed. After they received the money, he was freed.
|
||||
|
||||
Just days later, they went to his house again, demanding more money. They took him to Egret Drive, the address he was later found at by police. Again, they placed a bag over his head and demanded money.
|
||||
|
||||
The final incident took place on 30 November, the victim had been at a friend’s address when he was approached by Gary Edwards and thrown into a van and had something put over his head.
|
||||
|
||||
Further phone analysis identified that the defendants were in contact in the nights leading up to the first kidnap. Similarly, after police located the victim, Jonathan Newns, David Povey, and Karl Johnson were all in regular contact with one another. Cell site analysis also placed them all at the at the house on Egret Drive on the dates of kidnap.
|
||||
|
||||
A forensic analysis of the black hand pistol and ammunition that police seized provide a DNA profile which was a match for Jonathan Newns.
|
||||
|
||||
Today (Thursday 30 January) the men appeared at Manchester Crown Court to be sentenced for their roles.
|
||||
|
||||
Jonathan Newns 13/05/2000 of Salix Court, Whitebeam Close, Salford was found guilty of two counts of attempted robbery, two counts of false imprisonment, kidnap, and possession of a prohibited firearm. He has been jailed for 20 years.
|
||||
|
||||
David Povey 27/07/1986 of Dalebeck Close, Whitefield, was found guilty of robbery, kidnap, false imprisonment, and attempted robbery. He has been jailed for 20 years.
|
||||
|
||||
Luke Johnson 29/10/1999 of Southway, Eccles, was found guilty of two counts of attempted robbery, two counts of false imprisonment, and two counts of kidnap. He has been jailed for 13 years and six months.
|
||||
|
||||
Gary Edwards 28/10/1977 of Cumberland Avenue, Cadishead, pleaded guilty to attempted robbery. He has been jailed for ten years and two months.
|
||||
|
||||
Kane Godiff 14/07/1991 of no fixed abode pleaded guilty to attempted robbery. He has been jailed for seven years and five months.
|
||||
|
||||
Karl Johnson 24/07/1989 of Egret Drive, Irlam, pleaded guilty to two counts of encouraging or assisting an offence of robbery. He has been jailed for three years years.
|
||||
|
||||
Scott Armstrong 06/08/1985 of no fixed abode pleaded guilty to two counts of transferring criminal property. he has been jailed for two years and four months.
|
||||
|
||||
Investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Stephanie Bowling, said: “This was a challenging investigation which has thankfully resulted in these dangerous offenders being removed from the streets for a significant amount of time.
|
||||
|
||||
“While I know that this sentence won’t change or takeaway from the trauma that our victim was subjected to, I sincerely hope that it helps him move forward with his life, safe in the knowledge that these men are now behind bars.”
|
||||
|
||||
Detective Inspector Justin Bryant from our Salford district said: “These men showed a concerning propensity for violence and weren’t afraid to use a variety of formidable weapons to get what they want. I’d like to commend the victim for his bravery, and I hope he continues to recover from this experience.
|
||||
|
||||
“I not only hope that this sentencing acts as a deterrent to anyone who may be considering such violence, but I hope it reassures the communities of Greater Manchester that we will use all specialist resources and skills catch harmful offenders.”

დათო ფეიქრიშვილის და მისი ძმის სახელი არაერთ კრიმინალურ საქმეში ფიგურირებდა. ისინი რამდენჯერმე ნასამართლევებიც არიან. სამართალდამცველებმა ძმები 2016 წელს, იარაღის უკანანო შეძენა-შენახვა-ტარებისთვის დააკავეს; მანამდე კი ტყუპი ფეიქრიშვილები სოსო ჯოხაძის მკვლელობასაც დაუკავშირეს. 2020 წელს ძმების აფეთქება იგეგმებოდა, თუმცა სახელმწიფო უსაფრთხოების სამსახურმა დანაშაული სისრულეში მოყვანამდე აღკვეთა და 7 პირი დააკავა .
|
||||
|
||||
30 ოქტომბერს მომხდარ ყაჩაღობის ფაქტზე, ფეიქრიშვილს ბრალი დაუსწრებლად უკვე წარუდგინეს და მას პოლიცა ეძებს. სათვალთვალო კამერის ჩანაწერებში ჩანს, რომ ჯგუფი, რომელსაც სავარაუდოდ, დათო ფეიქრიშვილი ხელმძღვანელობდა, კარგად მომზადებული იყო. მათ თან ჰქონდათ ყურის რაციებიც და გარე ტერიტორიასაც აკონტროლებდნენ. გავრცელებული ინფორმაციით, ოფისიდან გამოსულებს ქუჩაში ავტომობილებით ელოდებოდნენ.
|
||||
|
||||
დათო ფეიქრიშვილის ადვოკატი ბრალდებულის დანაშაულთან კავშირს გამორიცხავს. გიორგი ანთაძე ამბობს, რომ "კურიერის" მიერ მოპოვებული ექსკლუზიური კადრები არ არის საკმარისი მტკიცებულება, რომ ფეიქრიშვილმა დანაშაული ჩაიდინა და ყაჩაღობის მონაწილე იყო.
|
||||
|
||||
საპირისპიროს ამტკიცებს სათვალთვალო კამერის ჩანაწერი. მასალის არაერთ მონაკვეთში ჩანს, რომ დათო ფეიქრიშვილს საქამრეში, სავარაუდოდ, სწორედ იარაღი აქვს ჩადებული. ოთახში ამ დროს ოფისის თანამშრომლებთან ერთად, მომხმარებლებიც იმყოფებოდნენ და მათ გადაადგილების უფლება ეზღუდებოდათ.
|
||||
|
||||
როგორ მოახერხეს დამნაშავეებმა გაძლიერებული დაცვითი სისტემის მიუხედავად ოფისში შეღწევა - დეტალები "კურიერთან" დღეს "ტონვექსის" იურისტმა მოყვა. მიხეილ მესხის თქმით, მამაკაცები ოფისის თანამშრომლებს კოლეგებად გაეცნენ და კარი მოტყუებით გააღებინეს.
|
||||
|
||||
ჭავჭავაძის 37 ნომერში მომხდარი ყაჩაღობის საქმეზე, ამ ეტაპზე, 2 პირია დაკავებული, დათო ფეიქრიშვილს კი ბრალი დაუსწრებლად აქვს წარდგენილი. დაუსწრებლად წარუდგინეს ბრალი კიდევ 4 პირს. საგამოძიებო მოქმედებების შესახებ გენერალურმა პროკურატურაში დღის ბოლოს ოფიციალური განცხადებაც გაკეთდა.

კრიპტოვალუტის გადამცვლელ ოფისში მომხდარ დანაშაულზე გამოძიება ჯგუფურად ჩადენილი ყაჩაღობის მუხლით მიმდინარეობს. ბრალი 8-დან 12 წლამდე პატიმრობას ითვალისწინებს.

Kidnapped for crypto: 4 men flew from Florida to Portland, tied a man to a post before stealing his cryptocurrency, feds say

|
||||
|
||||
Four men are accused of flying to Portland from Florida, kidnapping a man, tying him to a post in a rural Washington County field and beating him to get the passcode to his cryptocurrency wallet.
|
||||
|
||||
The four now face federal charges of kidnapping and conspiracy to kidnap. They were arrested in Florida late last month and flown to Oregon to face the allegations in US. District Court in Portland.
|
||||
|
||||
Ralph Moreno Jr., 24, Justice Uallah Del Carpi, 22, and Jackson Reves, 19, entered not guilty pleas Thursday to the charges. Billy Cordova, 24, entered not guilty pleas earlier this month. They are being held at the federal detention center in Sheridan pending trial.
|
||||
|
||||
According to an indictment, the four flew to Portland on Nov. 8, 2023, rented an Airbnb in Vancouver and used ride-share car services to get around.
|
||||
|
||||
Over the next two days, they watched their target’s downtown Portland apartment and schemed how to carry out the kidnapping, the indictment alleges.
|
||||
|
||||
On Nov. 10, some in the group abducted the man, forced him from one car into another and drove him away from his residence while others entered the man’s apartment to try to access his cryptocurrency, the indictment alleges.
|
||||
|
||||
They drove the man to a field in Banks, tied him to a post with duct tape and repeatedly assaulted him before abandoning him, according to the indictment and police records.
|
||||
|
||||
Later that day, they ultimately used the man’s password, or so-called “seed phrase,” to transfer digital currency from his cryptocurrency wallet to another location, the indictment says. Prosecutors have not disclosed how much currency was taken.
|
||||
|
||||
A woman passing by found the man, now 22, taped to a post and called police at 8:33 a.m. on Nov. 11, according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
|
||||
|
||||
She reported she located the man near Northwest Mountaindale Road and Old Pumpkin Ridge Road and said he appeared to have undergone some “torture,” according to the initial sheriff’s report. The case was turned over to Portland police and the FBI.
|
||||
|
||||
The four defendants initially appeared in federal court in Jacksonville before their transfer to Portland.
|
||||
|
||||
In Oregon, extortion and personal data breaches accounted for the most frequent cryptocurrency frauds reported in 2023, according to the FBI.
|
||||
|
||||
Last year, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center received more than 69,000 complaints from the public nationally regarding cyber-enabled crime and financial fraud involving the use of cryptocurrency, with more than $5.6 million in reported losses.
|
||||
|
||||
“As the use of cryptocurrencies grows in popularity for investors, criminals are deploying increasingly complex tactics to deceive and exploit the public,” Wayne A. Jacobs, special agent in charge of FBI’s Philadelphia office, said in a statement. Pennsylvania and New Jersey were among the top 10 states for most reported cryptocurrency complaints and for reported losses last year.

Tragic Bitcoin Heist in Ukraine: $170,000 Stolen, Foreigner Murdered, Four Charged

|
||||
|
||||
Ukrainian authorities have arrested four men for robbing a man of 3 BTC, as well as kidnapping and then killing him.
|
||||
|
||||
Crypto ransom/kidnapping attacks have risen significantly since 2021.
|
||||
|
||||
Maintaining high levels of privacy is the best deterrent against would-be crypto thieves.
|
||||
|
||||
Four men have been arrested following the kidnapping and subsequent murder of a 29-year-old Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto trader, all so they could steal his three BTC tokens.
|
||||
|
||||
The news emerges amid a disturbing surge in crypto-related crimes, including kidnappings and ransom demands.
|
||||
|
||||
As per local media reports , Police have arrested a group of four men aged 24 to 29 years old for kidnapping, robbing, and murdering a Morrocan man in Kyiv, Ukraine.
|
||||
|
||||
According to the Kyiv Police, it was all planned in advance , writing to Telegram:
|
||||
|
||||
“They learned that the man had Bitcoins worth several million hryvnias. They tracked down where he lived, waited for him, forced him into a car and took him to an abandoned building in Kyiv region.”
|
||||
|
||||
The perpetrators cashed out the funds after coercing the man into transferring the $170,000 worth of Bitcoin to their cryptocurrency wallets. Tragically, they then proceeded to kill the man.
|
||||
|
||||
“To hide the traces of the crime, the license plates and appearance of the car were changed, and the body was taken to the forest, where it was buried,”
|
||||
|
||||
Residents in the Solomianskyi district reported the crime to Kyiv Police around midnight after hearing screams and witnessing several unknown figures attack and force a man into a car.
|
||||
|
||||
Kyiv Police immediately launched a special operation in response. Prosecutors will reportedly seek life imprisonment for the offenders.
|
||||
|
||||
The crypto space has witnessed many inexplicable attacks and, unfortunately, tragic deaths in years gone by.
|
||||
|
||||
Whether stealing Bitcoin ATMs, extorting, kidnapping, or outright murdering individuals, physical Bitcoin attacks are a new reality of the 21st century.
|
||||
|
||||
As expected, criminals are exploring the ROI of physically targeting bitcoin holders. I'm seeing more organized gang activity in this sector. Stay frosty! pic.twitter.com/lcxqmuGU8f
|
||||
|
||||
In-person attacks are becoming more common. Just this month, in Hong Kong, a 3-year-old boy was kidnapped and held for a ransom of 660,000 USDT.
|
||||
|
||||
In a separate incident, two Chinese/Chinese-American entrepreneurs were taken hostage in the Philippines, with kidnappers demanding roughly $2 million in USDT. Despite making a payment of $109,000, the victims were unfortunately found dead.
|
||||
|
||||
With crypto’s rise to the peak of mainstream culture following the crypto euphoria of 2021, crypto assets such as Bitcoin have become even more desirable to criminals. Now, attacks are becoming a little more sophisticated and a little more brutal.

CT resident guilty in crypto heist that led to parents' kidnapping

Connecticut resident pleads guilty in $245M crypto heist that led to his parents' kidnapping
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
A Connecticut man whose parents were kidnapped in Danbury after he played a role in a $245 million Bitcoin theft pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges and has agreed to testify against his codefendants even though he will likely be deported, according to recently unsealed federal court documents.
|
||||
|
||||
Veer Chetal, 19, from Danbury, Connecticut, was one of three men charged with stealing 4,100 Bitcoins from a victim in Washington, D.C., known as "RW" in court papers as part of an online scam that involved the men pretending to be trusted employees of well-known firms last August, documents said. The trio lived large after the heist, spending millions of dollars on cars, jewelry, rental mansions and nightclub parties, according to the Associated Press.
|
||||
|
||||
A week after the theft, Chetal’s parents were assaulted and kidnapped for a short period in Danbury in a failed ransom plot aimed at Chetal, who the assailants believed had a large amount of cryptocurrency, previous reports indicate.

Chetal was not charged by federal authorities in the kidnapping plot. He pleaded guilty in November to fraud and money laundering charges but the case was sealed until last week, the documents show.
|
||||
|
||||
A newly released plea agreement indicates he will cooperate with federal authorities, including testifying against the other men. He will also be required to provide restitution toward the nearly $250 million theft and was told that since he was not a citizen of the United States, he will likely be deported, the documents said.

He is also required to forfeit $548,000 in cash and a long list of items including several Rolex watches, 21 pairs of pants, seven jackets, shirts, boxes of high-end clothing, designer suitcases and other items seized during searches of a home he rented in New Jersey and his home in Danbury, federal documents said.
|
||||
|
||||
He was involved in about 50 similar thefts and usually called potential victims pretending to be with security or technical support for a large company, in some cases Google or Yahoo! gaining the victim's trust and personal information so that one of the other men could access and steal their virtual currency, a separate plea agreement document said.
|
||||
|
||||
Chetal, Malone Lam and Jeandiel Serrano met while playing "Minecraft" online and they agreed to participate in a scheme to steal virtual currency from unwitting victims from November 2023 and September 2024, federal documents said.
|
||||
|
||||
The cases against the other two men are continuing, federal documents show.
|
||||
|
||||
Initially, little information on Chetal's arrest and charges were made available by federal authorities. But allegations against Chetal and others were believed to stem from the ongoing federal investigation into a $230 million cryptocurrency theft, to which investigators linked an August 2024 carjacking and attempted kidnapping of a Danbury couple.
|
||||
|
||||
Authorities said the Aug. 25 kidnapping attempt was part of an intended ransom demand connected with the couple’s son’s alleged involvement in the crypto heist, which involved the theft and laundering of more than 4,000 Bitcoin from a man in Washington, D.C.
|
||||
|
||||
Up until this week, authorities had declined to comment on Chetal's arrest or confirm his possible relation to the Danbury couple.
|
||||
|
||||
The target of the theft was described in federal court documents as “a high-net-worth crypto investor from the early days of cryptocurrency,” and authorities said the stolen Bitcoin was valued at more than $230 million at the time of the theft.
|
||||
|
||||
The couple targeted in the Aug. 25 attempted kidnapping — which resulted in the arrest of six Florida men on state and federal charges — were hospitalized following the attack near Damia Drive and told police they initially thought they were targeted because of their high-end SUV.
|
||||
|
||||
The attempted kidnappers — who police say rammed the couple’s Lamborghini and threw them into a waiting van to be tied up and driven away — were identified as Angel Borrero, 23, Reynaldo Diaz, 22, Anthony Pena, 23, Josue Romero, 26, Ricardo Estrada, 21, and Michael Rivas, 18.
|
||||
|
||||
Borrero, Pena, Romero, Estrada and Rivas have pleaded guilty to conspiracy and kidnapping charges, according to federal court records, which show the five defendants scheduled for sentencing in May and June.
|
||||
|

Diaz, the only one of the group to not accept a plea agreement, has a trial date set for Sept. 23. He’s also the only one of the six who hasn’t entered pleas in his state criminal case, according to court records, which show Borrero, Pena, Romero, Estrada and Rivas have all pleaded not guilty to felony and misdemeanor charges in state Superior Court in Danbury.
|
||||
|
||||
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut recently announced that James Schwab, a 22-year-old from Peachtree, Ga., was federally charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping after an ongoing FBI investigation revealed his connection to the case.
|
||||
|
||||
Schwab is accused of “planning and facilitating” the Aug. 25 attempted kidnapping as a way to extort money from the couple’s son, who’s referred to as “V.C.” in a federal criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport in January.
|
||||
|
||||
The complaint says Schwab and V.C. got into a verbal and physical altercation at a Miami nightclub in July 2024, after which Schwab and another individual devised a plan to have V.C.’s parents kidnapped for ransom.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to V.C., the criminal complaint in Schwab’s case includes the initials of the couple targeted in the Aug. 25 kidnapping plot — which match those of the parents of a Danbury resident whose name and age align with that of the Veer Chetal who is being held by U.S. Marshals in Virginia.
|
||||
|
||||
Chetal is a 2024 graduate of Immaculate High School, according to the fall 2024 edition of the private Catholic school’s “Traditions” publication, which shows he donated up to $99 to his alma mater and his parents donated between $1,000 and $2,499.
|
||||
|
||||
During his time at the school, a Hudl profile shows Chetal was a member of ATI United, Immaculate and Henry Abbott Technical High School’s co-op football team. He also completed Harvard’s Future Lawyers Program in 2022, according to a News-Times article.
|
||||
|
||||
Serrano and Lam were indicted in September on conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments charges, stemming from their alleged involvement in the scheme, which authorities say began Aug. 18, 2024.
|
||||
|
||||
Serrano was a 21-year-old residing in Los Angeles at the time of his arrest and Lam — a 20-year-old Singapore citizen — had addresses in Miami and Los Angeles, according to court documents, which say they and at least one other individual stole thousands of Bitcoin from “a high net-worth investor” in Washington, D.C., last summer.
|
||||
|
||||
The scheme involved calling the victim, pretending to be Google Support Team members and telling him they needed to shut down his Google account due to a “hack attempt,” according to a detention order filed in federal court.
|
||||
|
||||
After convincing the victim to provide security codes to his Google account, authorities say the conspirators accessed the man’s OneDrive and Gmail account to locate his cryptocurrency assets, as well as scoured his private accounts in search of additional information.
|
||||
|
||||
Upon locating cryptocurrency exchange records in the victim’s Google account, they allegedly agreed to have one of them call the victim, posing as a Gemini Crypto Exchange Security team member.
|
||||
|
||||
In doing so, the court documents say “they convinced the victim that his cryptocurrency accounts had also been compromised” and to transfer about $3 million — described in the document as “a small portion ... of his cryptocurrency” — to a crypto wallet that Lam controlled.
|
||||
|
||||
They also convinced the victim to download a remote desktop connection program “for his own ‘security,’” according to court documents, which say the program allowed Lam to log into the victim’s computer and steal more than 4,000 Bitcoin.
|
||||
|
||||
After laundering the stolen digital currency through various exchanges and mixers, authorities say the conspirators used the stolen funds to pay for international travel, service at nightclubs and rental homes in Los Angeles and Miami.
|
||||
|
||||
As of March, Chetal, Serrano and Lam were being held in Virginia detention facilities, according to online custody records, which showed Serrano at the Northern Neck Regional Jail and Lam at the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center.

Six Florida men arrested after a 'targeted' kidnapping in Danbury, police say
|

|
||||
DANBURY — Six men from Florida were arrested after police say they rescued two victims of what appeared to be a targeted kidnapping Sunday.
|
||||
|
||||
Police received a call for a disturbance near Clapboard Ridge Road Sunday at approximately 5:40 p.m., according to a news release from the Danbury Police Department. Upon arrival, police said a witness reported seing three males exit a van, begin assaulting another man, then pushing him into the van before the van fled.
|
||||
|
||||
Officers spotted the van on Clapboard Ridge Road and attempted to stop it, police said, but the driver sped away. The vehicle was then located not far away on Cowperthwaite Street, police said.
|
||||
|
||||
The two victims "bound with duct tape" were found inside the van, police said, and one had been hit with a baseball bat. Both were transported to the hospital for treatment, police said, but neither faced life-threatening injuries.

After what police called "further investigation," two additional suspects were arrested at a "short-term rental home" in nearby Roxbury.
|
||||
|
||||
Angel Borrero, 23, Reynaldo Diaz, 22, Anthony Pena, 23, Josue Romero, 26, Ricardo Estrada, 21, and Michael Rivas, 18 — all of whom are from Florida — were all been arrested and charged with first-degree assault, first-degree kidnapping and reckless endangerment.
|
||||
|
||||
Borrero also faces charges of reckless driving, engaging police in pursuit and evading responsibility. His bond is set at $2,000,000, while each of the other men are being held in lieu of $1,000,000 bonds.
|
||||
|
||||
Police said the kidnapping was "specifically targeted" but that the "exact motive is not known."

Armed Crypto Robbery in Thailand Ends in $250,000 Theft

|

Ukrainian Man Forced to Transfer $250,000 in Crypto During Armed Robbery in Thailand
|
||||
|
||||
Armed robbers in Thailand forced a Ukrainian man to transfer $250K in USDT under threat of violence.
|
||||
|
||||
The attackers tied the victim to a bed after the transfer and fled the scene, warning him not to report the crime.
|
||||
|
||||
Thailand Police arrested four suspects, one of whom regularly purchased USDT from the victim.
|
||||
|
||||
A Ukrainian national, Viacheslav Leibov, fell victim to a rare case of crypto theft through physical coercion in Phuket, Thailand.
|
||||
|
||||
Armed assailants forced him to transfer 250,000 USDT, equivalent to 8.56 million baht, under the threat of violence. On November 11, four people were arrested in association with the robbery.
|
||||
|
||||
According to local reports, Leibov told local police that his ordeal began on Friday night when he visited his friend in his hotel room. Upon arrival, an Armenian man, Arman Grigoryan, 21, escorted Leibov to the room.
|
||||
|
||||
Initially, the group engaged in conversation on the balcony. However, the situation escalated when Leibov went to use the bathroom. Two masked individuals ambushed him, binding his limbs with ropes and cable ties.
|
||||
|
||||
The robbers, armed with a hammer and knife, demanded Leibov transfer 500,000 USDT. Leibov negotiated to reduce the amount, transferring the 250,000 USDT as demanded.
|
||||
|
||||
After completing the transfer, the attackers tied him to a bed and warned him against reporting the crime.
|
||||
|
||||
Once the assailants left, Leibov managed to free himself. He immediately rode his motorcycle and reported the incident to Kamala police.
|
||||
|
||||
Police arrested four suspects associated with the robbery on Monday. One of the suspects regularly purchased crypto, more specifically, USDT, from Leibov. He has prior knowledge about Leibov holding large sum of stablecoins, which led to this plot.
|
||||
|
||||
The case highlights a growing concern about the physical targeting of individuals for their digital assets as crypto becomes more mainstream.
|
||||
|
||||
Crypto Crimes Are Becoming More Diversified
|
||||
|
||||
With crypto adoption growing across most regions, the variety and sophistication of crimes are also increasing. There have been several occasions this year where criminals have used unconventional methods to steal cryptocurrency.
|
||||
|
||||
The Federal Trade Commission reported that scammers stole $65 million through Bitcoin ATM schemes in the first half of 2024. These scams involve fraudsters posing as bank or government officials, convincing victims to withdraw cash and deposit it into a Bitcoin ATM.
|
||||
|
||||
Recently, Binance also issued a global warning about a new threat called “Clipper malware.” As BeInCrypto previously reported, this malware alters wallet addresses during transactions. So, users might be sending their funds to a scammer’s wallet without realizing it.
|
||||
|
||||
Earlier in August, reports emerged about scammers promoting a new malware on the macOS that targets crypto wallets like MetaMask. Scammers often promote this malware via Telegram and fake job offers.
|
||||
|
||||
Conventional cyber-criminal gangs are also turning their attention to the crypto industry. Recent reports suggest that North Korea’s infamous Lazarus group and its affiliates are now targeting crypto firms through phishing campaigns.

Victims retaliate against 13-year-old’s rug pull by pumping token, doxing family, and allegedly kidnapping their dog.

|
||||
A 13-year-old cryptocurrency enthusiast, known as the Gen Z Quant kid, is at the center of a bizarre series of events that have captivated the crypto community.
|
||||
|
||||
The teenager attempted a rug pull by creating a token named QUANT, but what followed was an unprecedented response from the community, leading to both financial and personal turmoil for the young trader.
|
||||
|
||||
On November 20, the boy launched QUANT on Pump.fun, a popular memecoin platform. Initially, he sold his entire holding of 51 million QUANT tokens for 128 SOL, earning $30,000 within hours. However, enraged by the apparent scam, the crypto community collectively decided to pump the token’s value as an act of revenge. Over six hours, QUANT’s price skyrocketed by 71,386%, peaking at $0.07876 per token. Trading volumes surged to $213.7 million, turning the token into one of the most remarkable crypto trading phenomena.
|
||||
|
||||
Meet the kid who launched $QUANT, rugged it for $30K, and thought he got away with it...
|
||||
|
||||
BUT, CThad other plans!
|
||||
|
||||
CT tracked him down, doxed him, and then... PUMPED $QUANT to a whopping $56M market cap!

|
||||
|
||||
The financial setback for the boy was just the beginning. Frustrated investors doxed the teenager and his family, revealing personal details online, including their social media profiles and even the boy’s school. The retaliation escalated further as Pump.fun users created new tokens named after family members, such as QUANT DAD, QUANT SIS, and QUANT MOM, accompanied by profile pictures of the individuals. The situation took a darker turn when tokens like CABAL featured images of the family’s dog.

|
||||
|
||||
The drama reached a new height when screenshots surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), shared by user @YonatanBadash1, alleging that the family’s dog, Bari, had been kidnapped. The screenshots reportedly show a conversation between an alleged kidnapper and the boy’s brother, Ben Berger, pleading for the dog’s safe return. The family’s distress reportedly deepened, with the boy’s mother, Sara Berger, in tears and worried about potential legal charges her son might face due to the rug pull.

This incident illustrates the volatile and unpredictable nature of the $3.11 trillion global crypto market. While the community’s actions highlight the risks of anonymity and scams, they also raise ethical questions about the extent of accountability and retaliation in decentralized trading spaces. This extraordinary series of events underscores the thin line between justice and vigilantism in the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency.

Criminal Gang Kidnap & Rob Ukrainian in Bali | Bali Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
Bali Police have launched a full-fledged investigation in connection with the kidnapping, robbery, and temporary confinement of Igor Lermakov, a Ukrainian businessman, targeted by a 9-member mafia-like group of men on Sunday, 15 December 2024, at 1:30 pm.
|
||||
|
||||
This kidnapping and extortion case has gone viral on social media in the past few days. A group of 9 people, suspected members of a Russian gang, went on a rampage and kidnapped and robbed Igor Lermakov.
|
||||
|
||||
It started when Lermakov, born on January 28, 1977, intended to return to his residence in the South Kuta area on Sunday, December 15, 2025, at around 1:30 pm. On the way, they suspected that someone was following them, causing the victim’s driver from Russia with the initials GN to accelerate, trying to evade the roadblock.
|
||||
|
||||
The Ukrainian’s vehicle, driven by another Ukrainian, was blockaded fore and aft by two other cars, a luxury black Alphard (Police registration B 2144 SIJ) and black Toyota Innova carrying the nine armed assailants wearing military gear, bullet-proof vests emblazoned with the label “POLICE” and black balaclavas used to conceal their identity.
|
||||
|
||||
The “Gang” is accused of using police uniforms, knives, hammers, and firearms during the commission of the crime.
|
||||
|
||||
Lermakov was handcuffed and beaten as the assailants dragged from his vehicle. A black sack was placed over the Lermakov’s head while he was driven to two villas over several days, first in Jimbaran and later in Ubud.
|
||||
|
||||
Beaten and tortured, Lermakov was first brought to a villa on Jalan Blong Keker, Permata Gatsu Regency Blok A, Kuta Selatan, where the beatings continued, and code access to his crypto accounts were obtained under duress, allowing the withdrawal of Rp. 3.3 billion,
|
||||
|
||||
Later, he was driven to another villa on Jalan Sawag Indah Gang 88, Peliatan, Ubud. In Ubud, the victim, bloodied with his hands still handcuffed, managed to escape from his captors to seek help from neighbors before reporting his kidnapping to the Police on 30 January – 15 days after his initial abduction.
|
||||
|
||||
Based on information provided to the Police, the nine kidnappers are believed to be from Russia, Uzbekistan, and Ukraine.
|
||||
|
||||
Bali Police Spokesman, Commissioner Ariasandy, said the case is under special and intensive investigation by the Criminal Division of the Provincial Police. Ariassandy insists the Police are fully committed to solving the violent kidnapping.
|
||||
|
||||
Police have already conducted a preliminary reconstruction of the kidnapping and its aftermath, providing daily updates on their work to the victim. Police have reportedly already managed to identify that the nine attackers are citizens of Russia, Uzbekistan, and Ukraine. Police reportedly also have the names of the nine in hand and have issued formal summons via their respective consulates, commanding them to report to police headquarters for interrogation.
|
||||
|
||||
According to Beritabali.com, Police report that despite issuing two summons, none of the men presented themselves at police headquarters.
|
||||
|
||||
On 30 January 2025, the Police spokesman said: “There are nine foreign nationals sought from Russia, Uzbekistan, and Ukraine. We hope they will cooperate and present themselves for questioning so that this case can be concluded soon.”
|
||||
|
||||
Bali police also have noted and discounted the fact that the assailants wore police uniforms. Because these uniforms are easily acquired, the use of police accruements does not automatically prove any official police involvement in the kidnapping incident crime.
|
||||
|
||||
Police admit that investigators are not yet able to clarify the relationship between the victim and the perpetrators but suspect the incident was a violent criminal act involving extortion. This all points to a violation of Article 170 and Article 368 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) regulating criminal acts of violence and extortion. The Ukrainian victim was said to have been compelled to surrender over Crypto assets worth US$ 214,424 (around Rp 3.3 billion).
|
||||
|
||||
“Investigators are still looking into the roles of each party and the motives behind the crime,” explained the three-star officer who serves as Police spokesperson.
|
||||
|
||||
Police investigators in Bali are coordinating with the International Division of the National Police, the victim, and the respective consulates of the nine accused of involvement in the crime.

Late Breaking Development – One Suspect Arrested and Released
|
||||
|
||||
A Russian national, Igor Lermakov, said by Bali Police to be the ringleader of the Bali abduction, was taken into custody at around 7:00 pm on Thursday, 30 January 2025, while trying to board an Emirates Flight EK 369 bound for Dubai, U.A.E.
|
||||
|
||||
Askhabov (30) was suspected to be the leader of a Russian gang that kidnapped, detained, assaulted, extorted, and seized the crypto assets of the Ukrainian businessman Igor Lermakov, 48 years old, valued at Rp 3.2 billion.
|
||||
|
||||
Police report that Askhabov, an MMA professional fighter, was very cooperative with police, responding fully and readily to all their questions.
|
||||
|
||||
In support of his claim to have had no involvement in the kidnapping of Igor Lermakov, Askhabov shared with police chatting histories, telephone call records, and chronology detailing his whereabouts during the time in which the abduction took place.
|
||||
|
||||
After police reviewed the records provided by Askhabov and verified his alibis, they found nothing to substantiate the accusations made by Lermakov. When confronted further by police. Lermakov reportedly became confused. Police say that there is no proof that Lermakov or Askhabov has ever met. Moreover, the names of the 9 assailants provided by Lermakov in his police complaint were names given to the complainant by a friend living abroad.
|
||||
|
||||
Police are reportedly now doubting the report and testimony provided by Lermakov as the victim of the kidnapping and coercion incident.
|
||||
|
||||
Lacking evidence against Askhabov, police have released the Russian, who left Bali by boarding a flight to Dubai.
|
||||
|
||||
Askhabov thanked the Bali Police for their courteous treatment during his apprehension, questioning, and eventual release to the airport so that he could continue his trip.
|
||||
|
||||
Askhabov’s attorney in Bali underlined that his client supports the Bali Police and hopes they will soon be able to solve the subject kidnapping case.

|
||||
David Balland, co-founder of crypto wallet developer Ledger, and his wife were rescued after being kidnapped in central France.
|
||||
|
||||
Balland's hand was injured during the attack, Reuters and Le Parisien reported.
|
||||
|
||||
Robberies targeting crypto community members are on the rise.
|
||||
|
||||
David Balland, co-founder of cryptocurrency wallet developer Ledger, was rescued in a police operation after being kidnapped in a ransom attack in France, according to reports, putting an end to days of swirling rumors.

Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau said that Ballard and his wife were kidnapped on early Tuesday from their home in Central France and held captive at two separate addresses, Reuters reported on Friday. The prosecutor said that the kidnappers contacted another Ledger co-founder to demand ransom paid in cryptocurrencies.
|
||||
|
||||
A police operation involving French elite forces GIGN freed Ballard on Wednesday and his wife was found on Thursday, the prosecutor said. Ballard was taken to hospital to receive treatment to one of his hands, which was mutilated, Beccuau said, without revealing further details, according to Reuters. Local newspaper Le Parisien reported that the attackers severed Ballard's finger and sent it to associates to extort a ransom.
|
||||
|
||||
"We are deeply relieved that David and his wife have been released, and are now safe," Pascal Gauthier, chairman and CEO of Ledger, said in a statement shared with CoinDesk.
|
||||
|
||||
Rumors circulated on social media earlier this week that one of the co-founders of Ledger had been kidnapped. Reports alleging that Eric Larchevêque, another co-founder of the company, was the victim turned out to be false. CoinDesk reached out to Ledger for confirmation at the time, but the company didn't comment.
|
||||
|
||||
"Our top priority was always to allow law enforcement to do their jobs and protect the integrity of the investigation," CEO Gauthier said. "We respected law enforcement requests around safeguarding critical details of the ongoing investigation and appreciated members of the press who did the same."
|
||||
|
||||
The incident was another example of an alarming trend of robberies and crime targeting crypto traders and industry figures as the crypto bull market marches on creating riches to investors. For example, Dean Skurka, the CEO of WonderFi, a publicly listed crypto holding company that owns one of Canada's largest crypto exchanges, was kidnapped for a ransom in Toronto last year.
|
||||
|
||||
"Have seen an uptick in irl [real life] robberies targeting crypto traders located in Western Europe over the past few months," popular blockchain sleuth ZachXBT posted on Telegram. "The cases all involve known people in the crypto community where they were held at gunpoint. As the rest of the cycle continues, be extra mindful of who you share your wins with and meet up with [in real life]."

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said he now sees a 90 percent chance that the long-debated Clarity Act will pass by the end of April, citing renewed momentum in Washington.

The bill would clarify which digital assets fall under securities law versus Commodity Futures Trading Commission oversight, addressing long-standing regulatory uncertainty that Garlinghouse says has weighed on innovation.

Ripple, which has spent nearly $3 billion on acquisitions since 2023 and is now pausing major deals to focus on integration, argues that both crypto firms and traditional financial institutions increasingly want clear rules as attitudes toward digital assets shift.

Un pro des cryptomonnaies enlevé près de Troyes, quatre personnes interpellées - Le Parisien
|
||||
|
||||
Quelques jours après le spectaculaire enlèvement de David Belland, cofondateur de Ledger, une entreprise spécialisée dans la cryptomonnaie, une affaire similaire a éclaté dans l’Aube, a-t-on appris de source proche du dossier. Selon nos informations, confirmant celles du JDD, quatre hommes ont été interpellés vendredi soir à Sainte-Savine, dans la banlieue de Troyes, après l’enlèvement et la séquestration d’un homme de 30 ans, « mineur en cryptomonnaie ».
|
||||
|
||||
Tout commence quand la victime, qui tire ses revenus en validant les transactions en ligne de cryptomonnaie, se rend à un « rendez-vous professionnel » à Sainte-Savine. Là, le trentenaire tombe dans un guet-apens, indique une source policière. Quatre individus sont présents pour le rendez-vous, dont un client avec qui la victime avait un différend commercial.

|
||||
|
||||
Le trentenaire est alors séquestré dans un pavillon et ses ravisseurs lui réclament 20 000 euros pour le libérer. Sans que l’on sache dans quelles circonstances, la victime parvient à alerter un ami qui prévient la police.
|
||||
|
||||
À leur arrivée vers 22 heures dans le pavillon, les policiers trouvent la victime en bonne santé. Les quatre auteurs du rapt sont interpellés. Le parquet de Troyes a confirmé ces interpellations, sans plus de précision à ce stade. Une enquête est ouverte pour tentative extorsion et le commissariat de police de Troyes est saisi, a indiqué le parquet.
|
||||
|
||||
« Aucun parallèle ne saurait être fait en l’état avec les faits commis au préjudice de monsieur Balland », prévient le parquet.

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 25-year-old woman, Emmanuella Ogochukwu, for allegedly conspiring with her younger brother and his accomplices to rob her boyfriend of three iPhones and bitcoins worth N15m

Spain: Police arrest Brits for Costa del Sol crypto kidnap
|
||||
|
||||
Three British men have been arrested following the Costa del Sol kidnap of a UK cryptocurrency broker.
|
||||
|
||||
Spanish police released footage today showing the moment they surrounded an Audi the trio tried to flee in after their British victim managed to escape before cuffing them on the ground at gunpoint. The men took the trader hostage and demanded 30,000 Euros (£25,000) for his release after a chance meeting in Marbella led to him accepting an invite to an apartment in the nearby resort of Estepona the kidnappers is thought to have been living at temporarily.
|
||||
|
||||
The 34-year-old Hindi speaker got away by pretending to phone a customer he said had to give him half the code he needed to access his crypto wallet - but instead called a friend in London and told him he was being held against his will in the language his captors didn’t understand. His pal alerted the victim’s mum who told police what was happening - sparking an operation to locate the property where he was being held which they only knew initially was in the Estepona area.

Heavily-armed officers had already managed to track down the apartment and were preparing to call in specialist reinforcements when the kidnapped man took advantage of a momentary lapse in concentration by his abductors to escape. One was looking at his mobile when he ran and jumped more than 30 feet from a balcony, breaking his ankles in the process.
|
||||
|
||||
The footage police released showed them moving in as the kidnappers tried to speed off in their Audi when they released their attempts to earn quick money had been frustrated. Officers found more than POUNDS 8,000 in euros during a search of the apartment as well as two guns, three knives and 25 grams of pink cocaine.
|
||||
|
||||
The three Brits, who have not been named, have all been remanded to prison following a court appearance.

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
On Saturday, a spokesman for the National Police in Malaga said: “Three men have arrested on suspicion of kidnap, wounding, membership of a criminal organisation, unlawful weapons possession and drugs trafficking. They are now in prison following a court appearance.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
“The investigation began when officers were informed about the kidnap on February 1. Detectives managed to locate the residential estate where they believed the victim was being held.
|
||||
|
||||
“During the police operation established to locate the apartment, officers saw several nervous-looking men going to and fro between the inside of the property and an outside terrace. Moments later they witnessed another man who turned out to be the kidnap victim jumping from the terrace to the ground.
|
||||
|
||||
“He was taken to hospital so he could be treated for the injuries he suffered in the fall. The three suspects were arrested as they tried to get away in a high-powered vehicle.
|
||||
|
||||
“Two firearms hidden in kitchen cupboards, almost EUROS 10,000, a money counting machine, three knives including one butterfly knife, two designer watches and 25 grams of pink cocaine as well as a weighing scale were found during a search of the apartment.” Police sources confirmed all four men were British.
|
||||
|
||||
The kidnap trio had tied their victim up and threatened to kill him during his ordeal unless he accessed his clients’ crypto wallets so he could pay them to regain his freedom.

They had got talking during a chance meeting at a Marbella hotel a fortnight earlier - and ended up having a meal together the day of the kidnap before the victim accepted an invite to drinks afterwards at the property in Estepona where he ended up being held hostage. Police suspect they planned their crime after the Brit trader told them what he did for a living and they realised he was earning well and had access to large amounts of cryptocurrency.
|
||||
|
||||
Only one of the detainees was known to police in Spain but all three are believed to have criminal records in the UK for weapons possession and drugs offences. Their victim was assaulted during his ordeal but didn’t suffer the torture they pledged they would inflict on him if he didn’t pay them the amount they were demanding.

Streamer Amouranth 'hospitalised' after home invasion burglary left her 'covered in blood' - Daily Star

Streamer Amouranth 'hospitalised' after home invasion burglary left her 'covered in blood'
|
||||
|
||||
Amouranth has been hospitalised after her home was raided by attackers forcing her to comply to demands, and she claims to have been 'pistol whipped and terrorised.
|
||||
|
||||
18:50, 03 Mar 2025Updated 20:11, 03 Mar 2025
|
||||
|
||||
Twitch streamer and adult content creator Amouranth has been hospitalised after her home was raided by attackers forcing her to comply to demands. Kaitlyn Siragusa took to X to detail being brutally pistol whipped and terrorised by attackers who at one point held a gun to her head.
|
||||
|
||||
The attack comes after the creator revealed the value of her Bitcoin wallet in a social media post asking followers if she should sell the assets that earned her a whopping $20 million in November last year.
|
||||
|
||||
The Houston-based content creator said an armed gang pulled her out of bed and demanded crypto and other valuable assets in the late hours of the 2nd March, before she apparently shot one of them.
|
||||
|
||||
In a series of chaotic posts on X, Amouranth said: “They beat me before this video and pistol whipped me the pummeling felt like it would never end and I protected my head by putting my arms up like I Learned how to do in boxing, blood was streaming down my head and my hands where beat brown.”
|
||||
|
||||
Amouranth, 31, posted a picture of her bullet-riddled bedroom door, which she says was eventually kicked in by the gang in the terrifying incident.
|
||||
|
||||
She also posted CCTV footage of the criminals running from her home, with one seemingly shouting “I got shot” as he ran away before law enforcement arrived.
|
||||
|
||||
She posted at 22:55: “I’m covered in blood but only some of it is mine I’ll update yall later but I’m safe now.”Emergency medical professionals treated the streamer on the scene before taking her to hospital for further evaluation and treatment.
|
||||
|
||||
Her assistant later provided public updates to the public, confirming that Amouranth - who has 1.66 million likes on an adult site - was not alone but surrounded by her family in hospital.
|
||||
|
||||
The assistant said: “ “I’m leaving the house now. Kait is at the hospital with family, and I handled the police with statements, etc. […] The animals are all safe, and Kait will be discharged tonight. She does have injuries. I will be with her in the morning as well, and we [won’t] be alone at any point. There will be security.”
|
||||
|
||||
Social media users suggested the attack was staged, prompting this response from Kaitlyn’s assistant: ““Whoever is saying this is fake, I can guarantee you this isn’t, and I never want to be this scared again.”
|
||||
|
||||
Amouranth has nearly 1000 adult photos on an adult side, and she has reportedly sold ‘fart jars’ for $1000. The Kick streamer’s YouTube ASMR channel was banned last year after she reportedly breached the platform’s Nudity & Sexual Content policy. All of her YouTube channels were temporarily removed but are now back online.
|
||||
|
||||
The incident has prompted discussions about personal security for high-profile figures, and many popular streamers have shared their own experiences of harassment, stalking, and break-in attempts.
|
||||
|
||||
Last night streamers Valkyrae, Cinna, and Emiru were allegedly being stalked and had their lives threatened by a “crazy fan” in a viral livestream video.
|
||||
|
||||
The unknown man was shown on camera but had apparently changed his outfit to follow the women after he had taken a photo with them.

Home News Breaking news Man robbed of HK$318,000 in Cheung Sha Wan after cryptocurrency transaction
|
||||
|
||||
14th March 2025 – (Hong Kong) A 41-year-old man, surnamed Wong, was robbed of approximately HK$318,000 in cash late Thursday night in Cheung Sha Wan, following a cryptocurrency transaction.
|
||||
|
||||
The incident occurred at 11.39pm on Lai Wan Road, near the Lai Chi Kok Government Offices. Wong was reportedly carrying a plastic bag containing the cash when an unidentified man approached him from behind and snatched the bag. The suspect fled in the direction of King Lai Path and remains at large.
|
||||
|
||||
Police officers conducted a search in the vicinity but were unable to locate the perpetrator. The case has been classified as a robbery, and authorities are pursuing a suspect described as approximately 1.75 metres tall and dressed in a black long-sleeve top at the time of the incident.
|
||||
|
||||
Earlier in the evening, Wong had arranged to meet a buyer on Sung Wong Toi Road in Kowloon City to complete a cryptocurrency transaction. After concluding the deal, he was en route to his residence at Wah Lai Estate when the robbery occurred.
|
||||
|
||||
The incident underscores the risks associated with carrying large amounts of cash for private financial transactions. Police are continuing their investigation to apprehend the suspect.

Home News Breaking news Four arrested after attempted robbery of 5 million euro from 27-year-old Turkish...
|
||||
|
||||
28th March 2025 – (Hong Kong) An attempted robbery occurred on 27th March 4.45pm outside 68 Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, targeting a 27-year-old Turkish man who had just arrived in Hong Kong for cryptocurrency trading. The victim was carrying a bag containing €5 million in cash when he was attacked from behind by two assailants, one of whom brandished a knife.
|
||||
|
||||
The victim fought back vigorously and managed to retain his belongings, while the attackers fled towards Jordan Road. Although injured and falling to the ground, the victim managed to report the incident himself. Paramedics treated his injuries, which included a 10-centimetre knife wound on his forehead, but fortunately, there was no damage to his eyes or vital organs. He remains in hospital under observation but is expected to be discharged soon.
|
||||
|
||||
Given the violent nature of the attack, which took place in a busy area during the afternoon, law enforcement agencies deemed the incident serious. They promptly launched an investigation, reviewing extensive CCTV footage to identify the suspects.
|
||||
|
||||
Subsequently, police conducted a series of operations in Jordan and Mong Kok, leading to the arrest of four South Asian men aged between 17 and 31 on suspicion of attempted robbery. Officers recovered some clothing and four mobile phones during the arrests. Among the detainees, two were in Hong Kong on recognizance papers, one claimed to be a delivery worker, while the other three were unemployed.
|
||||
|
||||
Initial investigations suggest that the arrested individuals included the two attackers and two accomplices who assisted in disposing of the weapon and other evidence post-incident.
|
||||
|
||||
Authorities are continuing their search for the discarded knife and other evidence related to the case. The four arrested individuals are currently in custody and will be charged accordingly. Police have urged the public and business owners to consider hiring reputable security firms when transporting large sums of cash and to avoid disclosing their movements to strangers to prevent becoming targets for criminals.

Cryptocurrency kidnappings rise as bitcoin price surges
|
||||
|
||||
NEW YORK, June 11 (Reuters) - Two men pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to charges they kidnapped a friend for three weeks at a townhouse in Manhattan's upscale SoHo neighborhood, cut him with a chainsaw and set him on fire after dousing him with tequila to try to get him to reveal his bitcoin password.
|
||||
|
||||
Defendants John Woeltz, 37, and William Duplessie, 33, appeared in a Manhattan court before Justice Gregory Carro, who denied their request to be released on bail pending trial on charges that carry up to a life sentence if convicted.

|
||||
|
||||
Their lawyers during the hearing disputed the prosecution account that the men had tortured the alleged victim, who was not identified by name in court. Duplessie's lawyer Sam Talkin said the alleged victim was "having the time of his life" and took part in a "sex orgy" while at the townhouse.
|
||||
|
||||
The surge in the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in recent years has created a new group of wealthy investors who present tempting targets for criminals, according to security experts.
|
||||
|
||||
Prosecutor Sarah Khan told the hearing that the defendants and the alleged victim were involved in cryptocurrency investing and had communicated with each other electronically for years.
|
||||
|
||||
During an in-person meeting that began on May 6 in Manhattan, Duplessie and Woeltz took the alleged victim's devices and began a series of brutal beatings, Khan said.
|
||||
|
||||
"They pistol whipped him with a gun, they cut him with a small chainsaw and they used various other instruments," Khan said.
|
||||
|
||||
The defendants also urinated on the alleged victim to put out fires on his body that they set after dousing him with tequila, Khan said.
|
||||
|
||||
After three weeks, the alleged victim and Woeltz left the SoHo townhouse to retrieve the man's phone so he could transfer his cryptocurrency, Khan said. The alleged victim managed to run away and found a uniformed police officer, Khan added. He was barefoot and bleeding when he escaped, Khan said.
|
||||
|
||||
"He was in severe distress," Khan added.
|
||||
|
||||
Khan said authorities found a chainsaw, a loaded pistol and a photograph of Duplessie pointing a gun at the alleged victim when they searched the townhouse.
|
||||
|
||||
The alleged incident follows three cryptocurrency-linked kidnappings or kidnapping attempts in France this year.
|
||||
|
||||
Woeltz and Duplessie have been detained since being arrested last month on kidnapping and other charges. Carro ordered them to be detained without bail at least until their next hearing on July 15.
|
||||
|
||||
In urging Carro to release Duplessie on bail, Talkin said the alleged victim was free to leave the townhouse as he pleased. The man went out to church, clubs and dinners during the three weeks, according Wayne Gosnell, a lawyer for Woeltz.
|
||||
|
||||
"He could have talked to any passerby and told them, 'I'm in trouble, I need help,'" Gosnell told the judge.

American tourist in London loses $123k in crypto after 'drug-enabled abduction by fake Uber driver' - My London

American tourist in London loses $123k in crypto after 'drug-enabled abduction by fake Uber driver'
|
||||
|
||||
Jacob Irwin-Cline lost his life savings overnight after he was allegedly spiked
|
||||
|
||||
Callum Cuddeford Court and Crime Reporter
|
||||
|
||||
An American tourist claims he was drugged and abducted by a fake Uber driver, who then drained $123,000 from his crypto accounts after a night out in London. Jacob Irwin-Cline, 30, says he built his wealth after investing in Bitcoin as a teenager, but now thinks there is a 'less than one per cent chance' he will be able to get any of the money back, even with the help of the FBI's cybercrime team.
|
||||
|
||||
The former software developer from Portland, Oregon, was in the UK on a two-day layover to see his parents in Spain, when he went out to The Roxy on Rathbone Place in Soho, drinking what, he recalls, were around three whiskey sours before deciding to head back to his hostel at around 1.30am on Friday, May 9. After calling an Uber using the app on his phone, he said goodbye to friends and left.
|
||||
|
||||
Outside the basement cocktail bar, Jacob recalls a private hire driver flagging him down, calling out the alias Jacob has saved as his name in the app. Jacob also told MyLondon the driver, called Mohammed, looked like the man in the photo that showed up on his app, but he had no time to cross-reference the number plate, or make and model, of the car with the details appearing on his phone.
|
||||
|
||||
Having asked The Roxy for CCTV footage of this moment, by citing GDPR laws, Jacob now says it was a 'dark sedan' that pulled up, and not the Toyota Prius that was advertised on the Uber app. Unaware of this at the time, Jacob accepted the driver's 'abnormal' offer to get in the front passenger seat, remembering: "The guy seemed super chill, super nice."
|
||||
|
||||
But things took a turn when the driver offered Jacob a cigarette, which he now believes was spiked with a rare drug, usually confined to South America, that was once termed the 'world's scariest drug' in a 2012 Vice documentary filmed in Colombia. “I said I stopped smoking, but he said ‘Oh c’mon’. I said ‘Sure, if you want to bond over a cigarette’," Jacob told MyLondon.
|
||||
|
||||
After apparently passing out, falling in an out of consciousness, Jacob said: “I remember being really docile." Jacob then claims the driver asked for his phone for directions, and his passcode.
|
||||
|
||||
“I vaguely remember going through applications a bit. He got a couple of passkeys from me to enter applications," Jacob said, adding: “There was definitely some sort of drug in the cigarette. I passed out for what I assumed to be 20 to 30 minutes.”
|
||||
|
||||
When Jacob eventually 'came to' in ‘a weird part of London that looked more neighbourhood-y [sic]’, Jacob said he looked over and saw maps on his phone but no navigation. When the driver noticed him regaining consciousness, Jacob claims he immediately 'slammed' the brakes ‘going from 35mph to zero in the middle of the road’.
|
||||
|
||||
“He calmly asked me to get out the car and open the trunk," Jacob alleged, "Under the influence of the drug, I did not think that was weird. I just asked why, and he said ‘Don’t ask'. As I was getting out, he drove off and hit half my body, scraping my leg up and I’m left there on the side of the road. I watched him drive away for 10 seconds, then realised my phone was gone and started to come back a bit."
|
||||
|
||||
Jacob, who had a labral repair on his right hip around six months ago, said the 'hit-and-run' left him 'crippled' and 'unable to walk' for multiple days after the incident. Having reviewed the last location ping on his phone, it appears the incident happened near Childs Way in Golders Green, just off Finchley Road.
|
||||
|
||||
After a kind stranger ordered a taxi to take him back to Urbany Hostel on Prince's Square in Bayswater, Jacob pulled out his laptop and found it had been 'bricked', meaning remotely wiped. He immediately set about trying to get back into his accounts, with help from a flatmate in America who assisted him through a digital backdoor using Jacob's old Android phone.
|
||||
|
||||
Jacob told MyLondon he did not sleep for three days, only to find out everything was gone. “I lost $123,000 dollars in crypto and assets," Jacob said, “They took the majority of my wealth.”
|
||||
|
||||
Could 'Devil's Breath' be to blame?
|
||||
|
||||
Meanwhile, Jacob said he tried to get toxicology reports from the hospital and police, but no tests were ordered. Jacob believes the robbers might have used scopolamine - a powerful sedative known as 'devil's breath' that makes victims blackout, and, according to some experts, also makes them unusually open to suggestion — including agreeing to hand over a wallet or reveal passwords.
|
||||
|
||||
The US Embassy in Colombia, where there have been security alerts about the drug, describes scopolamine as an 'odorless, tasteless, memory-blocking substance used to incapacitate and rob unwary victims', reports The New York Times. It is far more common in South America, where the drug is derived from the seeds of the native Borrachero tree and is sold recreationally as burundanga.
|
||||
|
||||
Jacob, who has a YouTube channel where he shares his travels, told MyLondon he is no stranger to official US Government warnings about the drug, having visited South America himself, but had never expected to encounter it, or anything like it, in Europe.
|
||||
|
||||
Though it is virtually unheard of in the UK, there was one high-profile case in London when dancer Adrian Murphy's body was discovered at his Battersea flat in 2019. Mr Murphy died from an overdose of scopolamine, administered by murderers Diana Cristea, 19, with her partner Joel Osei, 25, who then used his details to attempt to buy £62,000 worth of diamonds from a jeweller in New York.
|
||||
|
||||
During the trial, it also emerged that the couple used the drug to rob victims after connecting with them on Grindr, a gay dating app. They were accused of poisoning a second man, who cannot be named. The prosecution said the drug is 'popular with both robbers and rapists', and derived its nickname 'Devil's Breath' because it can be extremely difficult to trace with normal toxicology tests.
|
||||
|
||||
In 2015, there were also reports of a Chinese gang using the drug to carry out robberies in Paris - this time by blowing it in the target's face or claiming it was a herbal medicine. At the time La Parisien newspaper said the scammers were targeting elderly victims who could be turned into 'zombies' by the substance, taken home, and then relieved of their cash and jewellery.
|
||||
|
||||
Jacob never got a toxicology test (though he did ask), and scopolamine, according to scientists, leaves the body in urine within 12 hours. Therefore, it would be impossible to prove that he had ingested the drug, or, by now, any other date-rape style of drug like GBL or Rohypnol, which have both featured as the drug of choice in high-profile robbery and murder convictions.
|
||||
|
||||
Though Jacob has very little memory of his time in The Roxy, he said the club helpfully reviewed footage of him getting into the 'dark sedan' that took him away, which, he says, shows the correct car pulling up behind and waiting until Jacob is taken away. Jacob now believes he was lured into the wrong car - with the driver in control of an Uber account connected to the Prius, which was driven by another conspirator.
|
||||
|
||||
"It was really organised. They locked me out of all of it," Jacob said, including the Uber app, which was one of the first things to be locked down. Jacob said his journey back to the hostel was cancelled before the alleged robbery took place, but Uber have kindly refunded him around £6 for the trip. “It was pretty wild to see," he added, laughing at the amount.
|
||||
|
||||
Asked if criminals could have targeted him using his social media profiles, Jacob said it was unlikely because of the alias he uses on his Uber account: “I think they just got really lucky I had a bit of wealth put away."
|
||||
|
||||
Jacob also shared screenshots with MyLondon that show the balance on his XRP coin wallet dropped from around $73,000 to less than $1,000 the night he was robbed, while his Bitcoin wallet dropped from $50,000 to less than $10 at the same time. He also lost investments on an array of smaller coins, Jacob said.
|
||||
|
||||
Jacob, a tech whizz, believes he has traced his investments to two wallets - one two different exchanges called MEXC and BTSE. Using details of the accounts provide by Jacob, MyLondon saw around 19,000 XRP left Jacob's account at around 1:50am on May 9, then moved through various wallets. This made it extremely difficult to track, but we successfully followed some of the coins to one of the wallets, while Jacob says he has traced some of his money to another $10,000,000 wallet.
|
||||
|
||||
Though he has an idea of where the crypto has gone, without insurance, there is no way of getting it back without the help of the FBI. The Bureau's Virtual Assets Unit (VAU) was set up in 2022, tasked with providing crypto expertise, blockchain analysis, and virtual asset seizure training, but Jacob isn't particularly optimistic about the chances of a seizure.
|
||||
|
||||
"It's virtually impossible to get that money back unless some weird miracle happened - taking down that ring and getting these wallets back," explained Jacob, who was made redundant from his developing job around a month ago. "I was investing in crypto before anyone. I was really into it in high school before Bitcoin was $1,000."
|
||||
|
||||
Reflecting on everything that has happened, he said: "It sucks man. I'm alive, and that's honestly - I was not so stoked at first - but that's definitely the more important thing. Money will come and go. It's just really strange. I'm just worried guys will keep getting away with it. He probably made enough money that he will not have to do this again for a while."
|
||||
|
||||
After reporting the alleged robbery to the Metropolitan Police, Action Fraud, the FBI's special IC3 cybercrime unit, and Uber, Jacob is staying at an Airbnb in Clapham with his family to make himself available for a police interview. After MyLondon approached the Met with details of the allegations, Jacob was told the assigned officer would be on leave until May 21, two weeks after he called 999.
|
||||
|
||||
A Met Police spokesperson said: "Police were called at 4:48am on Friday, May 9 with reports of a theft in Westminster that morning. A 30-year-old man reported his phone had been stolen at Prince’s Square, following a ride in a taxi. He also alleges that around $150,000 worth of Cryptocurrency was stolen from his bank accounts afterwards. No arrests have as yet been made. Enquiries are ongoing."
|
||||
|
||||
Jacob's original estimate was $150,000 when he reported it to police, though he later revised the estimate down to $123,000.
|
||||
|
||||
Claire Webb, Acting Director of Action Fraud, said: “Action Fraud can confirm that it received NFRC250507346333 on 13 May and it is currently being assessed by the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) at the City of London Police.”
|
||||
|
||||
An Uber spokesperson said: “Everybody should feel safe when riding with Uber as the safety of everyone using the app is always the number one priority. The experience the passenger describes is totally unacceptable and we are fully investigating the reported incident."
|
||||
|
||||
The Roxy was also approached for comment.

Paris : un professionnel de la cryptomonnaie agressé dans un palace des beaux quartiers - Le Parisien
|
||||
|
||||
Nouvelle affaire criminelle autour de la crypto à Paris ? Ou une banale affaire de recouvrement ? Il est encore trop tôt pour le dire. Cinq hommes ont été interpellés dans la soirée, mardi 5 août, à Paris (VIIIe). Ils sont soupçonnés d’avoir menacé, enlevé et frappé, un client de l’hôtel Peninsula, avant de lui voler, deux millions d’euros en cryptomonnaie.
|
||||
|
||||
Il est 19h15 dans ce prestigieux palace de l’avenue Kléber, dans le XVIe arrondissement, quand les employés préviennent la police. Ils expliquent qu’un de leurs clients a été abordé par cinq inconnus qui lui auraient dit : « Tu nous donnes 400 000 euros et c’est fini ». La victime, qui travaillerait dans le milieu de la cryptomonnaie, aurait ensuite été emmenée de force du côté de l’Arc de Triomphe et violentée.

|

|

Les policiers de la brigade anticriminalité ont rapidement retrouvé le groupe et interpellé les suspects. Selon les premiers éléments de l’enquête, cette équipe serait liée à un établissement de nuit, situé non loin de là, et dans lequel le plaignant aurait une dette de 40 000 euros. L’objectif était de lui faire payer la facture manu militari.
|
||||
|
||||
La victime a été brièvement interrogée. Elle raconte qu’elle a été frappée et menacée et que ses agresseurs se seraient emparés d’un disque dur contenant deux millions d’euros en bitcoins, en plus de son iPhone 13 Pro Max. Il ajoute qu’un précédent épisode était survenu la semaine dernière au cours duquel ces malfrats présumés avaient exhibé une arme. Les cinq suspects ont été placés en garde à vue dans les locaux du premier district de police judiciaire pour des faits d’extorsion.

Cryptomonnaies : une femme agressée chez elle à Suresnes sous les yeux de ses enfants - Le Parisien
|
||||
|

Alors que la France fait face, depuis plusieurs mois, à une inquiétante vague d’enlèvements d’entrepreneurs en cryptomonnaies, une femme aurait été attaquée à Suresnes (Hauts-de-Seine) en raison de ses activités supposées dans la cryptomonnaie.
|

C’est en tout cas, selon nos informations, ce qu’aurait reconnu l’un de ses agresseurs. Ce mineur a été interpellé ce lundi, peu de temps après la violente agression survenue au domicile de la victime dans cette ville de la petite couronne, a révélé BFMTV.

«Svensk» ransgjeng slo til hos familie i Oslo: Småbarn teipet fast, mor truet med skudd i hodet
|
||||
|
||||
En småbarnsfamilie i Haugerudhagan ble natt til onsdag utsatt for et planlagt og brutalt hjemmeran. Fire maskerte menn fra Sverige, forkledd som matbud, tok seg inn, bandt hele familien – inkludert tre barn – med gaffatape og truet med å skyte moren dersom de ikke fikk tilgang til familiens kryptoverdier.
|
||||
|
||||
Natt til onsdag ble en familie med små barn på Haugerud i Oslo utsatt for et ekstremt brutalt hjemmeran. Ifølge Documents opplysninger ble ranerne – en gruppe unge menn fra Sverige – sluppet inn i huset etter å ha utgitt seg for å være matbud fra Foodora.
|
||||
|
||||
Inne i boligen ventet en natt som kommer til å prege familien resten av livet.
|
||||
|
||||
Ranerne ringte på døren sent på kvelden. Med uniformerte klær og poser fra matleveringstjenesten fremsto de som troverdige. Men idet døren ble åpnet, ble familien overmannet. Foreldrene – i 40-årene – og deres tre barn på 4, 8 og 12 år ble tvunget ned og bundet med gaffatape.
|
||||
|
||||
Ifølge kilder med nær kjennskap til saken ble moren truet på livet foran barna. Ranerne krevde at familien skulle overføre kryptovaluta – og ga klar beskjed om at moren ville bli skutt dersom de ikke fikk det de var ute etter.
|
||||
|
||||
Bestilt av noen nære?
|
||||
|
||||
Kilder forteller til Document at politiet mistenker at ranet kan være bestilt av personer med nære bånd til familien. Ranerne visste hvordan familien levde, hvilke rutiner de hadde – og at det fantes kryptoverdier i huset.
|
||||
|
||||
– Dette bærer preg av sjalusi eller konflikt fra folk i nær krets, sier en kilde med nær kjennskap til saken.
|
||||
|
||||
Familien er av iransk opprinnelse og er ressurssterke. Det er ikke ukjent for Document med å bestille kriminelle handlinger mot andre familier med hevn og sjalusimotiv.
|
||||
|
||||
Ranerne beskrives som fire menn mellom 18 og 22 år, bosatt i Sverige og med innvandrerbakgrunn. Ifølge kilden er det snakk om en kjent type mobile vinningskriminelle som kan bevege seg raskt over landegrenser.
|
||||
|
||||
– De er allerede tilbake i Sverige. Politiet har liten sjanse til å få tak i dem nå, sier kilden.
|
||||
|
||||
En nabo oppdaget situasjonen ved en tilfeldighet over en time etter at ranet hadde funnet sted. Politiet rykket ut med store ressurser – krimteknikere, mannskaper fra krimvakta, drone og helikopter – men da var ranerne for lengst borte.
|
||||
|
||||
Ifølge kilden ankom politiet først ved halv to-tiden.
|
||||
|
||||
– Dette er profesjonelle. Skal du ta dem, må du ta dem i gjerningsøyeblikket, sier han.
|
||||
|
||||
Det yngste barnet, bare fire år gammelt, skal være sterkt preget av hendelsen.
|
||||
|
||||
Hele ranet skal være fanget opp på video. Men det hjelper lite i møte med maskerte profesjonelle ranere.
|
||||
|
||||
Politiet ønsker ikke å gi ytterligere kommentarer, og viser til at saken er under etterforskning. Men for familien er det lite tegn til at saken vil ende med noe annet enn henleggelse.
|
||||
|
||||
Det som skjedde på Haugerud natt til onsdag føyer seg inn i rekken av grove og målrettede hjemmeran utført av mobile gjenger – der profesjonell planlegging, grenseflukt og taushet fra ofrene gjør jobben nær umulig for politiet.

Hjemmet til en familie på Oslo øst skal ha vært utsatt for et ran natt til onsdag.
|
||||
|
||||
Tirsdag kveld klokken 23:53 meldte Roy Langengen, operasjonsleder i politiet, om en hendelse på Haugerud.
|
||||
|
||||
Politiet ville ikke gå ut med ytterligere opplysninger, utover at det ikke var noen som var blitt skadet på stedet.
|
||||
|
||||
Onsdag formiddag får AO opplyst fra politiet at hendelsen skal være et hjemmeran hos en familie på Oslo Øst.
|
||||
|
||||
– Politiet kom raskt til stedet og har startet en større etterforskning mot flere gjerningspersoner, sier politioverbetjent Arvid Utby.
|
||||
|
||||
Utby legger til at det fortsatt er tidlig i etterforskningen og av hensyn til denne ønsker ikke politiet å gå ut med ytterligere opplysninger per nå.

Ranet skjedde med våpen hjemme hos en familie på Haugerud i Oslo, og mannen ble pågrepet tidligere denne uken, ifølge en kjennelse fra Oslo tingrett.

|
||||
Ni personer er siktet for medvirkning til grovt ran og frihetsberøvelse etter at en familie ble overfalt og fastbundet i sitt hjem på Haugerud i Oslo i august.
|
||||
|
||||
Politiet bekrefter at de ser svært alvorlig på saken og at flere av de siktede har tilknytning til Sverige, skriver Avisa Oslo.
|
||||
|
||||
Hendelsen skjedde sent på kvelden 5. august. Flere personer brøt seg inn i hjemmet der det befant seg tre voksne og to mindreårige. De tre voksne ble fastbundet, en av dem ble truet med skytevåpen, og en annen ble utsatt for grov vold.
|
||||
|
||||
Det var en nabo som varslet politiet etter å ha hørt rop om hjelp.
|
||||
|
||||
Politiadvokat Sonika Sharma-Sundheim i Oslo politidistrikt sier til Avisa Oslo at politiet jobber med å finne ut hvilken rolle de ni siktede hadde i ranet. To av de siktede ble nylig pågrepet i utlandet etter å ha vært internasjonalt etterlyst.
|
||||
|
||||
Politiet etterforsker også om ranet var et målrettet angrep.
|
||||
|
||||
En av de siktede, en mann i slutten av 20-årene, ble nylig varetektsfengslet i fire uker og nekter straffskyld. Ifølge fengslingskjennelsen mener politiet det er brukt «stråmenn» for å legge til rette for ranet, blant annet ved å skaffe en leilighet som fungerte som skjulested for gjerningspersonene.
|
||||
|
||||
Det oppgis ikke etnisitet på de involverte i hendelsen.

Texas brothers accused of stealing $8M in crypto from Twin Cities area family they allegedly kidnapped - CBS Minnesota
|
||||
|
||||
One day after charges were filed at the state level against two brothers from Texas who are accused of kidnapping and robbing a Minnesota family, federal officials announced their own charges against the duo.
|
||||
|
||||
Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson announced the new charges Thursday. He says 23-year-old Raymond Christian Garcia and 24-year-old Isiah Angelo Garcia each face a charge of kidnapping for an incident last Friday in Grant, Minnesota, where a total of $8 million in cryptocurrency was stolen.
|
||||
|
||||
The ordeal lasted about nine hours, starting shortly before 8 a.m. Friday, when the victim was ambushed by the brothers while taking the garbage out. Documents say they were each holding a gun at that time.
|
||||
|
||||
During the kidnapping, court documents allege one of the victims was forced to log into his cryptocurrency account at gunpoint by Isiah Garcia and transferred $36,000 to an unknown account. At the same time, federal court documents say the brother was on the phone with someone who alerted him to another account.
|
||||
|
||||
That's when the complaint says that the same victim was forced to drive to the family's cabin with Isiah Garcia, where another hard drive-style wallet was located. The victim was again forced to log in and transfer additional funds to an unknown account.
|
||||
|
||||
While the victim drove to and from the cabin with Isiah Garcia, Raymond Garcia stayed behind with the two other family members. He allegedly held them hostage, zip-tied and lying on the floor, with an AR-15-style rifle. That was after the brothers woke them up at gunpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
Authorities say both of the brothers are expected to make their initial appearances in federal court on Thursday. Meanwhile, at the state level, each brother is charged with three counts of using a firearm to kidnap a person, three counts of first-degree assault during a burglary with a firearm and one count of first-degree robbery using a firearm.
|
||||
|
||||
Once he was arrested, federal authorities say Isiah Garcia confessed to driving from Texas to Minnesota with his brother, holding the family hostage at gunpoint and forcing the victim to drive them to a cabin. During a search of their home, authorities say phones, computers, gags, clothing and gun cases were found, but no cryptocurrency.
|
||||
|
||||
FBI Special Agent in Charge Alvin Winston Sr. called the incident "brazen," adding his office will work with other law enforcement partners in the state, in Texas and at the federal level.
|
||||
|
||||
Activity from law enforcement agencies searching for the brothers last week caused Mahtomedi High School to cancel its homecoming football game. Bloomington's Kennedy High School on Monday forfeited its scheduled game against Mahtomedi.
|
||||
|
||||
"A violent kidnapping that stole $8 million and silenced a homecoming game is not just a crime. It is a blow to the sense of safety of everyone in Minnesota. This is not normal. Minnesotans should not accept wild violence and thievery as normal. Every Minnesotan deserves to live in peace and a life unaffected by rampant crime," said Thompson.

Wendy's receipt, vehicle rental tie Texas brothers to east suburb kidnapping, robbery - CBS Minnesota
|
||||
|
||||
Two Texas brothers have each been charged with seven felonies for an incident in an eastern Twin Cities suburb that prompted law enforcement activity near Mahtomedi High School late last week.
|
||||
|
||||
Charges filed Wednesday show the men, ages 24 and 23, each face three counts of using a firearm to kidnap a person, three counts of first-degree assault during a burglary with a firearm and one count of first-degree robbery using a firearm.
|
||||
|
||||
According to the complaints, a man called 911 around 4:45 p.m. on Friday, saying he and his family had been kidnapped and were being held at gunpoint in their Grant, Minnesota, home. There, the caller's father was forced at gunpoint to transfer at least $36,000 to an unknown cyberwallet from his accounts.
|
||||
|
||||
The caller's father was then forced to drive to a family cabin about three hours away from their home, where another crypto wallet was kept. There, he was forced to transfer at least another $36,000 to an unknown account, the complaint states.
|
||||
|
||||
The father later told investigators he believed some of his account information had been leaked during a data breach.
|
||||
|
||||
Charging documents say police searched an area around the home and found a suitcase in a tree line. Inside, the complaint says an AR-15 style rifle, as well as clothing, liquid bottles and cans plus a receipt for a Wendy's restaurant, were found. That receipt helped track down the vehicle used at the time of purchase, leading investigators to discover it had been rented near Houston, Texas, on Sept. 16.
|
||||
|
||||
Security footage showed the same vehicle parked outside a home in Waller, Texas, where the man who rented the car lives with his brother. That same car was found parked at a motel in Roseville, Minnesota, where rooms were rented on Sept. 17 for multiple days.
|
||||
|
||||
According to the charges, the two suspects ran up to one of the victims around 7:45 a.m. on Sept. 19 as he brought a garbage can out to the street. He said both men were dressed in dark clothing, had masks on and were armed — one with a shotgun and another with an AR-15 style rifle. He was brought back to the garage, where he was tied up.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, the men entered the home and woke the other victims up and bound them, before one of the suspects held them at gunpoint in a bedroom for nine hours. That room's door was tied shut with a wire, which had to be cut before they were freed later in the day.
|
||||
|
||||
During this time, the man who was tied up in the garage was forced to log into his cryptocurrency accounts and transfer money before driving to the cabin to transfer more funds. The 911 call was placed as the victim and suspect arrived back at the home, and the complaint says police passed the vehicle they were traveling in. The suspect, who was driving the vehicle, turned it around and parked it before running off and leaving his gun in a nearby field.
|
||||
|
||||
Meanwhile, the suspect who was inside the home left about 10 minutes before squads arrived at the scene and is caught on camera running out a back door to a nearby hiking trail.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the brothers is seen driving up to the hotel they were staying at shortly after. The vehicle was tracked through GPS data, and investigators say it traveled to and from Minnesota and Texas between Sept. 16-20, and that it was near the victim's home and near the Roseville motel.
|
||||
|
||||
The vehicle was stopped on Sept. 20 in Oklahoma, the charges say, and one of the brothers said his AR-15 had been reported as stolen on Sept. 22. The serial number on the gun's box, found during a search of his home, matched the one found in Minnesota. The other gun used during the incident is registered to the same brother, according to the complaint.
|
||||
|
||||
The documents say both men are in custody on a 48-hour hold in Texas. The complaints filed for each man ask that they be brought back to Minnesota for a court appearance.
|
||||
|
||||
Activity from law enforcement agencies searching for the brothers last week caused Mahtomedi High School to cancel its homecoming football game. Bloomington's Kennedy High School on Monday forfeited its scheduled game against Mahtomedi.

Yvelines : un nouveau professionnel des cryptomonnaies ciblé par une équipe de truands - Le Parisien
|
||||
|
||||
La série noire continue. Un nouveau professionnel de la cryptomonnaie vient d’être ciblé par des malfrats. Ce vendredi matin à Rambouillet (Yvelines), une équipe de quatre malfaiteurs présumés a été interpellée en flagrant délit alors qu’elle tentait de s’en prendre à son domicile.
|
||||
|
||||
Il est 9 heures du matin quand la victime prévient les forces de l’ordre. Cet homme, âgé de 42 ans, vient de constater que trois hommes et une femme viennent d’escalader la clôture de sa propriété.

Une patrouille arrive rapidement sur les lieux. Les policiers surprennent un homme et une femme toujours dans la propriété. L’homme est armé d’un couteau à cran d’arrêt et son amie d’une arme de poing factice. Dans une Renault Clio garée dans la rue, ils arrêtent un troisième suspect et le quatrième est stoppé un peu plus loin alors qu’il tentait de prendre la fuite à pied.
|
||||
|
||||
Selon les premiers éléments de l’enquête, ils auraient planifié de s’en prendre à la victime en raison de son activité dans le domaine de la cryptomonnaie. Les enquêteurs de la brigade de répression du banditisme de Versailles sont chargés de la suite des investigations.
