feat(sources): fetch linked URLs for the 252 spreadsheet-only cases

Until now only cases 357+ (plus a few older ones) had their linked URLs
fetched; the other 252 dossiers held just the text pasted into the
spreadsheet, often only the lede. This pass fetches every linked URL for
those cases so the full text is on file before link rot takes it.

- stage_all.py: new --include-sheet-cases flag that lifts the skip on
  cases holding spreadsheet articles. Resumable as before.
- staging/: raw extracts and index.json for the 252 cases.
- sourced-articles.json, case-files-manifest.json: 188 new UNTRIMMED
  blocks. 179 cases gained at least one fetched article; 73 got none
  (49 BLOCKED, 18 THIN, 9 DEAD, 4 video/social, 3 ERROR).
- sources/*.txt: rebuilt with build_cases.py --all. Sheet pastes are
  kept; fetched blocks sit beside them under the NOT YET TRIMMED banner.

An Extortionist Has Been Making Life Hell for Bitcoin's Earliest Adopters | WIRED
The call came while Hal Finney was in the final stages of his five-year battle with Lou Gehrig's disease. When the phone rang, his wife Fran was giving him a shower, with help from his nurse. Fran took the call, which came from a 911 emergency dispatch operator. "Are you OK?" the voice asked. "Is anyone being attacked in your house?"
Fran didn't quite know what to make of the bizarre call, and the operator kept talking, in rather pleasant tones. "I need to let you know that you are about to have a SWAT team come to your home," the voice said, "and they're going to ask you to leave."
When Fran poked her head out the door of her Santa Barbara home, she found the building surrounded by police, and a helicopter buzzing in the air above. It was just days after a disturbed young man named Elliot Rodger had killed six people near Santa Barbara's University of California campus and the police were especially concerned. The cops yelled at her to drop her telephone and come out onto the lawn, and that's what she did, leaving her disabled husband, her son Jason, and the nurse in house behind her.
The police eventually cleared the building, and Hal Finney, a noted computer cryptography expert, waited on the lawn for a half hour, shivering in the morning air. Fran worried that Hal, who was unable to swallow, might choke on his own saliva. "I was just panicking that he was going to need suction or something," she says. "He didn't have anything with him except his ventilator."
The Finneys were the victims of a "swatting," a nasty online hoax where the perpetrator calls up emergency dispatch using a spoofed telephone number and pretends to have committed a heinous crime in the hopes of provoking an armed police response to the victim's home. In this case, the caller phoned 911, announced that he had just murdered two people, and said was going to kill himself too.
For a year, the caller had been demanding that the Finneys pay an extortion fee of 1,000 bitcoin---worth more than $400,000 at the time---and according to Fran Finney, the FBI agents working the case believe that Hal was just one of several people extorted in this way by the caller. The incident further exposes the rather bizarre and often criminal element that continues to hover around bitcoin, a digital currency that grew out of the internet underworld but has since expanded into the mainstream.
Previously, Fran Finney has not publicly spoken about this incident for fear of compromising the investigation, but she spoke with WIRED after the investigating agent gave her the go-ahead. The FBI did not have a comment for this story.
>What I'm angry about is it took away some of the peace that he could have had for the last few months of his life.
When someone calling himself Satoshi Nakamoto first proposed the idea of bitcoin back in 2008, his ideas went largely unnoticed. But Hal Finney paid attention. He quickly became one of the world's first bitcoin users. That early enthusiasm proved lucrative for Hal Finney, allowing him to join the digital currency's network and "mine" many bitcoins during the early days. The stash helped the Finneys cover Hal's medical expenses, but it also came at a price.
Hal Finney died in August, and his wife Fran says he spent his final months being harassed by the online extortionist. He called the Finney's home number nine times in the two months after the attack, threatening to assault family members and expose their personal information. "What I'm angry about is it took away some of the peace that he could have had for the last few months of his life," she says. "This was taking up a lot of his emotional energy."
Roger Ver, another early bitcoin adopter, believes he was victimized by the same person the week before the Finney family was swatted. That's when someone using the names Nitrous and Savaged hacked into Ver's email accounts and demanded that he cough up 37 bitcoins---about $20,000 at the time---in order to prevent his private information from being published online. Ver refused, and the hacker apparently backed off after Ver put a 37 bitcoin bounty on his head.
Ver, who was himself sentenced to 10 months in federal prison for illegally shipping explosive across state lines, believes that Savaged is not only the same person who swatted Hal Finney, but also the person who gained access to Satoshi Nakamoto's email account earlier this year. And he's mad that this extortionist hasn't been caught.
The "police have been devoting a huge amount of resources to track down peaceful people engaged in voluntary trade like Charlie Shrem and the operators of the Silk Road Market," Ver says, "while evil hackers were busy terrorizing quadriplegic Hal Finney and his family."

Stupidity or Greed? Why Steal Bitcoin ATM?
Written by Nina Lyonformer writerReviewed by Cyril Gilsonformer editor
On November 3, two robbers stole a Lamassu Bitcoin ATM at the Village Smoke Shop in Atlanta, Georgia, according to local news website Clatl.com.
According to Atlantas Police Detective Scott Bowers, the thieves got away with Bitcoin ATM (also called BTM) filled with about US$2,000 as it was recently emptied. Whats more is that one of the perpetrators fired a gun shot, though luckily no one was injured.
It seems that the thieves wanted to get their hands on this machine in particular. Amanda McCollum, an employee in Midtowns Village Smoke Shop, witnessed the crime. She saw that the suspects “walked in, went straight to [the Bitcoin ATM], took it and only it, and walked out.”
However, stealing a Bitcoin ATM is not a good idea. While a Lamassu Bitcoin ATM itself is valued at US$7,000, the criminals would not be able to re-sell it because it is registered to the buyer with serial numbers linking them to the original owners. Moreover, no one except the owner will be able to get any bitcoins from the machines while most BTMs dont hold a lot of cash inside as a rule.
Nevertheless, one must be cautious when installing a small BTM in the shop and security measures must be taken to prevent theft.
Co-Founder of CoinOutlet Bitcoin ATM, Eric Grill, told Cointelegraph:
“Thieves see these as machines that have a lot of cash in them just like a traditional ATM machine which obviously they are not. You need to make the machines very difficult to steal. This is exactly why having a small lightweight machine that is a vault for cash is a bad idea. One of the reasons CoinOutlet went with a large heavy model is based on years of experience with traditional ATMs where people would snatch and grab them making the almost impossible for anyone to steal. This incident is less about Bitcoin ATM. They are steel enclosures so they also arent easy to get into and we also have a vault inside to protect the cash.”
While this is the first case of a BTM robbery in the US, it is not the first. In the beginning of year, Cointelegraph reported how two BTMs were stolen in Amsterdam in one swoop. One of these machines was a two-way BitAccess BTM from Thai restaurant and the second was a one-way General Bytes BATMtwo from a local cafe, which also served a dual role as the Bitcoin Embassy Amsterdam.
“We will just need to be a bit more selective on where exactly to place them,” said the owner of the General Bytes BTM, Martin Wismeijer, whos also known as Mr.Bitcoin. “On top of that, newly placed BTMs will all be insured against theft.”

Regular, cash dispensing ATMs have been a prime target for robberies since the technology was first born. But ATMs that dispense crypto-currency have had a more peaceful existence with no reported thefts. That is, until now. Late last month, two Bitcoin ATMs were stolen from two different businesses in Amsterdam.
Martijn Wismeijer, founder of the first “bitcoin atm collective,” Mr.Bitcoin, installed one of the machines that was stolen. “About two weeks ago, at Warries Thai food the door was forced and [thieves] removed the BitAccess ATM. This ATM was not owned by Mr.Bitcoin but we know the owner of the restaurant.” He went on to say, “The other ATM at Hofje van Wijs was a General Bytes unit, owned and installed by MrBitcoin. The burglars forced their way into the venue at 6:55 AM and also went for the safe, cash register and of course, the Bitcoin ATM.”
According to Wismeijer, the owners of the restaurants contacted the police as soon as they found out. “We kept it quiet while police were doing their research […] I do not expect anything from the police, this is Amsterdam.”
Whether the machines are ever returned, they will be of little value to the thieves. “The ATMs are useless as they are remotely disabled and contain no Bitcoin or other crypto. They cant be switched on anymore as that would reveal the IP to the owner. We contacted the factory to disable the ATMs with these serials and [to] warn us if someone wants to enable them,” he said.
“They will have some fiat. These belong to the individual traders. Mr.Bitcoin lost the ATMs and the locations. All crypto is secured and should the ATM be moved or disabled, the connection to the ATM host is immediately cut. We keep most of our crypto in cold storage anyway so the crypto itself was never at risk,” he said.
The robbery of the ATMs leaves only two Bitcoin ATMs remaining in Amsterdam, which are located in Cafe Kobalt and Media Markt. Mr.Bitcoin said that currently the owners of the restaurants have not ordered new bitcoin atms to replace the stolen ones and currently do not have plans to do so.
Mr.Bitcoin operates 11 crypto-currency ATMs in numerous European countries, including England, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. This theft marks the first ATM ever stolen from the company.

Bitcoin Crime Wave Breaks Out in NYC | | Observer
Bitcoin, the technology thats meant to revolutionize the way we think of money, is simultaneously revolutionizing the way we get mugged.
A New York City firefighter named Dwayne Richards was recently held up, stabbed and robbed by thieves who were after his bitcoin, the Observer has learned. From what weve discovered, Mr. Richards, who is a firefighter in lower Manhattan, was mugged and left bleeding after meeting the robbers under the pretense of exchanging bitcoin for cash in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Hes alive, well, and refusing comment.
Typically, when we hear of bitcoin-related crimes, its a white-collar affair—millions of dollars going missing from an overseas exchange, or a plucky enthusiast finding himself in an international money-laundering scheme.
But robbing someone of his bitcoin in person can be an astonishingly effective way to make off with vast sums of capital quickly and untraceably. And Mr. Richards is far from the first to fall victim to bitcoin-related brutality.
Dean Katz is a one-man bitcoin exchange. Every day, he drives around New York buying and selling bitcoin, on call to a large customer base. Hes like a weed delivery guy, only instead of delivering drugs, hes bringing people the future of financial transactions.
One day, he received a call from someone who had heard about his services, either online or through a referral, who wanted to visit him out in Queens at a secure location.
“He called because he wanted to gamble during the Super Bowl, which is pretty common,” Mr. Katz told the Observer.
When the person arrived, he held Mr. Katz up at gunpoint and forced him to transfer $8,500 worth of bitcoin. Then, the robber took $3,500 in cash and split.
'Right now, its like the Wild West,' Mr. Katz said, 'and stagecoach robberies are going to happen.'
Mr. Katz reported the incident to the police, and hes heard from a number of people also who trade bitcoin in person that there have been other incidents. Some of the occurrences have been physical robberies, others have just involved the use of counterfeit money—which as a hustling entrepreneur, Mr. Katz considers just as offensive.
Bitcoin may be a digital currency, but trading it in person is still one of the fastest and most reliable ways to exchange it. Signing on and having your account verified with an exchange can take weeks, and if youre new to using cryptocurrencies, its helpful to have someone knowledgeable over your shoulder to walk you through the process.
Also, having someone with you in person is, ironically, a safer way to transact. It allows you to monitor the transaction and adds a layer of trust. Again, bitcoin is so new to so many people, there are plenty of creative ways to defraud people online. It accounts for why LocalBitcoins, a platform for finding people to do business with in your area, is one of the largest trading platforms in the world.
But if the person youre dealing with turns on you, youll find all of the benefits of bitcoin turning on you, too.
The best thing about bitcoin is that you can move vast sums of money nearly instantly without needing to go through a bank or centralized, governing body for approval or monitoring. But one thing banks are good at is dealing with thieves.
If someone held you up at gunpoint and made you wire your money from a bank account, a bank would be able to see the receiving account and, in most cases, link it to the person who goes to collect from that account. Bitcoin isnt exactly anonymous, per se, but a thief who is smart and careful enough can make it nearly impossible to be linked to an account once hes received his payload.
New York State is currently working on controversial legislation to legitimize and regulate bitcoin without totally clipping its wings as a revolutionary tool. Mr. Katz says that he hopes there will eventually be physical, centralized exchanges and centers where bitcoin can be traded in safe, public forums. Until then, he simply has to watch his back.
“Right now, its like the Wild West,” Mr. Katz said, “and stagecoach robberies are going to happen.”

New York City man robbed at gunpoint for ... bitcoin?
Put up your hands and start typing your PIN!
A New York man was robbed at gunpoint of $1,100 worth of bitcoin, police told CNBC.com on Friday.
The case is strongly similar to at least one other robbery in the Big Apple involving the digital currency earlier this year.
The latest combination street-cyber crime occurred at around 11:30 a.m. on May 27 in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.
The 28-year-old victim told police he went to a street corner there to meet a man who had answered his Craigslist.com ad offering bitcoins for sale, police said.
The purported buyer then led the victim to a car to complete the purchase, where another man sitting in the backseat pulled a gun and ordered the victim to electronically transfer the bitcoins to the thieves, cops said.

After the victim sent the bitcoins, the thugs then took the victim's cellphone, and drove off, according to police. The victim then called 911.
"It's still under investigation," said the police spokeswoman. She said there was no surveillance video footage of the virtual money stickup available.
In February, the New York Observer reported quoted a bitcoin dealer named Dean Katz, who described how he had been robbed at gunpoint by a man in Queens who had arranged to meet him to buy bitcoin so the man could gamble on the Super Bowl. Katz said he was forced to transfer $8,500 worth of bitcoin and also was robbed of $3,500 in cash.
New York police on Friday gave additional details about that Jan. 22 robbery of Katz. They said he entered a car containing two other men at about 1:50 a.m. that morning to complete the sale.
"He was held at gunpoint and the suspects requested his Samsung phone and money," police said. Katz then got out of the car, and the suspects fled, cops said.

Katz also told the Observer he has heard from other bitcoin traders about additional strong-arm robberies of the digital currency as well as the use of counterfeit cash to buy bitcoin.

Nepatvirtintais duomenimis, tąsyk buvo pasikėsinta į 29-erių metų kaunietį Tadą Kasputį. Kaip įtariama, kauniečiai E. J., R. G., M. Š. ir Š. P. liepos 11 d. prie Kaune, Kaunakiemio g., esančios automobilių plovyklos, panaudodami fizinį smurtą, įstūmė nukentėjusįjį į automobilį ,,Ford Transit”, surakino jam rankas ir, pavežę kiek tolėliau, persodino jį į kitą automobilį, kuriame uždėjo ant akių kepurę ir iki paryčių važiojo po Kauno apylinkes.
Įtariama, kad pagrobėjai vertė T. Kasputį pervesti 52 bitkoinus (104 tūkst. eurų), tačiau kai jiems nepavyko gauti prisijungimo duomenų, pareikalavo 300 tūkst. eurų. Jie, kaip įtariama, grasino savo aukai išdurti akis, ant kuolo pasmeigti jo vaikus ar sunaikinti turtą sudeginti automobilį.
Įtariamieji iš nukentėjusiojo pagrobė kuprinę, kurioje buvo mobiliojo ryšio telefonas, kompiuteris, grynųjų pinigų, įvairių dokumentų ir mokėjimo kortelių. Be to, pasisavino 10 tūkst. eurų vertės rankinį laikrodį, panašiai kainuojančią auksinę apyrankę. Padaryta žala siekia beveik 27 tūkst. eurų.
Teismas, atsižvelgdamas, kad E. J., R. G. ir M. Š. anksčiau yra teisti, kai kurie turi ryšių užsienyje, todėl gali bėgti arba slėptis, jiems skyrė vieno mėnesio suėmimo laikotarpį. Š. P. skirtas trumpesnis 15 parų suėmimo terminas, nes buvo atsižvelgta į jam pateiktų įtarimų apimtį, šiuo metu turimus ikiteisminio tyrimo rezultatus ir tai, kad šis įtariamasis turi šeimą, darbą ir pastovią gyvenamąją vietą. Dėl minėtų priežasčių skirtas trumpesnis suėmimo terminas, nei prašė prokurorė.
Šias nutartis per 20 dienų galima skųsti Kauno apygardos teismui.
33 ir 29 metų įtariamieji buvo sulaikyti Laisvės alėjoje. Už įvairius nusikaltimus ne kartą teisti vyrai gyveno Kaune. Kitas jų kompanionas sulaikytas Šauklių gatvėje. 43 metų vyras taip pat patyręs Temidės rimbą teistas kitose ES šalyse. Vyriausias 50 metų pagrobėjų kompanijos atstovas sulaikytas prie savo namų Garliavoje. Sulaikymo operacija truko kelių valandų intervalu.
Neteisėtas laisvės atėmimas, turto prievartavimas, vagystė, machinacijos su elektroninėmis mokėjimo priemonėmis tokie įtarimai papuoš keturių sulaikytųjų biografiją. Jiems gresia laisvės atėmimas iki dešimties metų.
Tarptautinį tyrimą apie nutekėjusius Panamos kompanijos "Mossack Fonseca" dokumentus koordinuojančio tiriamosios žurnalistikos centro "International Consortium of Investigative Journalists" duomenų bazėje rasite ir kaunietį T. Kasputį. Jis yra vienas iš Jungtinėje Karalystėje registruotos įmonės "Kaduceo LLP" savininkų. Beje, tai patvirtinantys duomenys britų registre vieši ir prieinami ir be "Mossack Fonseca" dokumentų.
T.Kasputis specializuotoje žiniasklaidoje tituluojamas bitkoinų sukčiumi. Portalas siliconangle.com skelbia, esą kaunietis susijęs ne su viena afera, vykdyta pasitelkiant virtualią valiutą. Lietuvis siejamas su ne viena žlugusia bitkoinų prekybos sistema, esą nusavinusia ja besinaudojusių klientų pinigus. Portalas tvirtina, esą T.Kasputis su bendrininkais taip galbūt pasisavino milijonus dolerių.
15min.lt pavyko susisiekti su T.Kaspučiu. Jis patvirtino esąs siliconangle.com personažas, tačiau pareiškė, esą šis portalas jį šantažuoja. "Jie šantažuoja mane tiesiog. Ten melagingas straipsnis. Jeigu pastebėjote, daugiau nefigūruoja, kituose portaluose, panašūs straipsniai", kalbėjo T.Kasputis.
Verslininkas tikina nesąs susijęs su jokiomis siliconangle.com aprašomomis aferomis. "Kažkas piktas ant manęs gal", svarstė pašnekovas. "Būtų labai gerai, jeigu tai būtų tiesa. Būčiau milijonierius", pridūrė jis.
Kaunietis taip pat patvirtino su partneriais per "Mossack Fonseca" įsteigęs "Kaduceo LLP". Tačiau, anot verslininko, įmonė realios veiklos nevykdė. "Jinai nevykdo jokios veiklos. Užregistravo kolega ir viskas", sakė T.Kasputis. Kokia veikla turėjo verstis "Kaduceo LLP", jis atsisakė atskleisti.

Boynton Beach man accused of robbing $28K in Bitcoins deal, deputies say Sun Sentinel

A man thought his $28,000 business transaction around midnight in the parking lot of a West Palm Beach Boston Market would go smoothly. Instead, it ended in armed robbery, according to a Palm Beach Sheriffs arrest report.
Deputies arrested Andre Allen, 34, of West Boynton as one of two men involved in the robbery.
The incident happened early Monday when Steve Manos, 32, of Lake Worth, met with two men, whom, he told deputies, he had done business with several times before. He wanted to exchange $28,000 in cash for Bitcoins, a digital currency for online transactions.
The exchange took place outside the restaurant at 2024 Military Trail. One of the men got into the front passenger seat of Manos car, while the second man sat behind Manos, according to the report.
Manos handed over 28 bundles of $1,000 in a gift bag. The front seat passenger took out a laptop to finish the exchange, but he also pulled out a knife. He pressed it to Manos chest, Manos told deputies.
Manos told the men to just take the money and leave. But a struggle ensued as the backseat passenger tried to grab Manos gun out of the drivers door pocket.
The two robbers ran with the money. Manos chased them, but couldnt keep up, the report said. The suspects got into a Acura, and sped off.
Manos gave deputies a phone number he had used to contact one of the suspects to set up previous transactions. The deputies linked that number to Allen, and Manos picked him out of a photo lineup, according to the report.
Deputies arrested Allen the next day. He faces armed robbery, burglary and battery charges and is being held in Palm Beach County Jail on $31,000 bond.

Dutch Bitcoin ATM Owner Laughs at Thieves Who Took His Machine

Thieves stole a bitcoin ATM installed in Oudenbosch, Netherlands last Wednesday by lifting and carrying it away. With bitcoins high prices attracting newcomer crooks as well as investors, its unclear if the thieves really understood what they were stealing.

Bitcoin is a virtual currency, which thieves would not be able to access simply by stealing the machine, the owner said. The ATM had operated at the Tivoli Brasserie in Oudenbosch since 2014. Thieves stole only the bitcoin machine, and nothing else.
Herman Vissia, owner of the machine said: “Bitcoins are virtual coins, so I think its logical that they do not get out of the machine. They would have thought they hit a jackpot with a full-blown machine.”
Customers buy BTC by feeing paper cash in the machine, so its possible thats what the thieves were really after. Still, bitcoin ATMs dont process the kind of transaction volumes bank machines do — even in cash, the takings were probably not worth the physical effort.
The ATM was run by Byecoin, a popular bitcoin ATM operator. The company has two available machines, one at Oudenbosch (which got stolen) and the other at Eindhoven. Vissia said “What an idiot”, referring to the actions of the thieves. He found the whole act foolish, and had a laugh over it, according to the local press.
Vissia believes it would take three people to lift the Lamassu machine — as it weighs around 265 lbs (120 kg). Hence, he is certain that three or more robbers carried out the theft.
Along with regular people, all types of criminals are gaining interest in cryptocurrencies. Physical theft is a new addition to the existing long list of hackers, phishing websites, investment scams, and dummy wallets that aim to steal bitcoin and other digital currencies.
Since bitcoins dont exist in the physical world, theyre actually much harder to steal than cash, gold or diamonds. Muggings associated with local P2P trades are more likely to involve victims being relieved of hard cash, than BTC.
In Vissias opinion, the thieves would have completely dismantled the bitcoin ATM. He said: “They will have broken it completely to get the contents out.” He added, “At the new vending machine they place a sign which will read — There are no bitcoins in here!”
Bitcoin ATMs are often connected online to a third-party exchange — the machine itself does not hold the private keys. Even if they did, cracking the machine open wouldnt give you access to them.
A similar incident occurred in India just a couple of months before. The thieves, who possibly couldnt read, actually stole a passbook printing machine instead of ATM.
Either the Dutch thieves were foolish too, or they were after the cash — which they could have probably stolen much easier elsewhere. These capers are reminiscent of the notorious scene in Breaking Bad, where two drug addicts haul a bank ATM to their living room but are unable to open it. It ends gruesomely.
Could you actually steal a bitcoin ATM for profit, or is it not worth the trouble? Tell us what you think in the comments.

Victim of Brazilian Bitcoin Ransom Kidnapping Plot Rescued - Bitcoin World Tour
Victim of Brazilian Bitcoin Ransom Kidnapping Plot Rescued
I just got to know this terrible case had actually happened to our friend in Sao Paulo. Luckily his wife is rescued.
The kidnappers had actually asked for ransom to be paid in Monero and Zcash! Obviously they are very much in the loop of crypto-technology with all the zero knowledge proof and stuffs.
Beware of crime, especially crypto crime where it is really hard to trace.
A 32-year-old Brazilian woman was recently rescued by the Civil Police on the east side of São Paulo, Brazil. The woman, married to a bitcoin businessman, was kidnapped in Florianopolis on Wednesday. The ransom was demanded in bitcoin and another unnamed cryptocurrency, according to local publication Diário Catarinense.
The kidnappers approached the victim right after she dropped her daughter off at school, 50 meters away from where she lives. While on their way to the city, they kidnappers contacted the victims husband demanding the ransom, sending him a video of victim in which she said she didnt know where she and that was being kidnapped.
According to Anselmo Cruz, the officer in charge of the investigation from Deic, a criminal investigation unit, this is the first time kidnappers in Brazil demand a cryptocurrency ransom. Access to bitcoin, according to the police, would be given by the victims husband.
In a translated Statement, Mr. Cruz said:
“Early on in the investigation, I spoke with a few colleagues from all over Brazil and there was never a kidnap attempt in which a payment in virtual currency was demanded. This is unprecedented in Brazil. The main goal was to expedite the transaction, but that wasnt possible.”
The husband then contacted the police and started negotiating with the criminals who demanded a “large amount of bitcoin” in an attempt to delay paying the ransom. The victims husband told criminals that cryptocurrencys trading volume in the country wasnt large enough for him to have the demanded amount available.
Due to bitcoins nature, it would be extremely hard for police to track down the criminals based on the address they would use to receive the money. During negotiations, however, the officers were able to locate and rescue the woman.
Police believe the victim was handpicked, and that there were at least six people involved in the crime. So far, only one has been arrested and the investigation is ongoing.
Officer Raphael Werling, who participated in the operation, said:
“It was a very difficult operation, but we managed to free the person. She isnt injured.”
The victims daughter turned six this Saturday, the 29th, the day her mother was rescued. Her husband told local news agencies having her mother back was the best birthday gift she could ever get.

3 'fake' Dubai cops kidnap traders to rob bitcoins
The trio was charged with kidnap, impersonation and online misappropriation of the virtual currency.
PUBLISHED: Mon 26 Nov 2018, 10:00 PM UPDATED: Tue 27 Nov 2018, 7:26 AM
Three Emirati men were charged at the Dubai Court of First Instance on Monday for allegedly posing as cops and kidnapping three Indian traders to a desert location to rob 25 bitcoins from them.
According to public prosecution records, the trio, aged 19, 27 and 20 (student), conned the victims into riding in their car after falsely claiming that they were being wanted by authorities for dealing in the virtual currency.

They then drove to a remote desert location off Al Barsha where they used the victims' laptop to transfer 25 bitcoins from their account into the account of one of them in Japan. The trio was charged with kidnap, impersonation and online misappropriation of the virtual currency.
They had four Indian accomplices, aged between 21 and 47. Those are accused of possessing Dh250,000, under circumstances suggesting that the money was ill-gotten.
The incident took place on March 14, 2017, and a case was registered at Al Barsha police station.
A Yemeni woman, who works as a driver for one of the traders, recounted during the prosecution investigation, how she met the first Emirati defendant. "I worked with my sister for the traders. Many people of different nationalities would come to their villa to buy bitcoins. The 19-year-old accused contacted me and then met me and my sister at a restaurant."
However, in the meeting, the accused told the sisters he is a security official and that the trader is being wanted in India in connection with forgery and fraud crimes. "He asked for our help, claiming we would get Dh500,000 as a reward for our cooperation. He also claimed we would land lucrative jobs for our help."
She stayed in contact with that defendant for some time to keep him posted about the trader's movements until the incident day.
One of the victims, a 35-year-old Indian investor, told the prosecutor that he was with the other two traders when a car intercepted them after 10pm. "The suspects pulled us out of the car and took our money and mobile phones."
The complainants were then taken to a remote spot where the suspects yelled at them that they were fraudsters and would be deported. One of their laptops was then used to transfer bitcoins to an account belonging to the 27-year-old defendant.
The trial continues on December 13.

According to the National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan, the number of victims targeted in get-rich-quick marketing schemes involving virtual currencies has exploded over the past three years.
The schemes typically recruit attendees by claiming to provide the know-how to boost an initial investment substantially over a short period through virtual currencies, such as bitcoin. Problems arise when the returns are not realized and since attendees recruit other members to attend in exchange for remuneration, making the operations akin to pyramid schemes.

Aichi cops accuse pair of dumping Nagoya womans corpse in Shiga
By Tokyo Reporter Staff on August 2, 2017
SHIGA (TR) Aichi Prefectural Police have accused two persons of abandoning the corpse of a missing woman from Nagoya in a mountainous area of Shiga Prefecture earlier this year, reports Nippon News Network (Aug. 1).
On around June 20, Ichiya Nishida, a 20-year-old resident of Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture, and an 18-year-old boy from Shiga, allegedly buried the body of Miyuki Noda, 53, who went missing two days before, in a forested area of the town of Taga.
Nishida and the other suspect, who have been accused of abandoning a corpse, admit to the allegations. On Monday evening, a team of about 80 officers working off information provided by the suspects unearthed the body of Noda.
Nishida had previously met Noda at a seminar about virtual currencies, police said. Prior to his arrest, he had been undergoing voluntary questioning in the case. On Sunday, police found Nodas smartphone and bag during a search of the vehicle and residence of Nishida.
Noda went missing following a seminar about selling food products and cosmetics over the internet, held on June 18 in Kasugai City, Aichi. After the event, she told participants that she was going to meet an acquaintance. That night, she was seen boarding a vehicle registered to Nishida at JR Ogaki Station in Gifu.
In carrying out the crime, the suspects are believed to have stuffed the body of Noda into a bag before carrying it to the forest in Taga. The corpse was buried using construction machinery, police said.
It is expected that murder and robbery charges will be applied to the suspects, police said.

В Киеве трое мужчин выбивали Bitcoin у Алексея Шерстнева, который занимается трейдингом криптовалют и консультациями по этой теме.
Об этом пострадавший написал на своей странице в Facebook.
"Пытки за Bitcoin. Пытка в течении 3-х часов. Требовали Bitcoin. Трое крепких людей. Били, запугивали, обещали убить", - отметил Шерстнев.
Он рассказал, что инцидент произошел вечером, 4 сентября, в помещении клуба Santa Muerte на улице Ярославов Вал. С Шерстневым связался человек, который попросил встретиться с ним для консультации по криптовалютам, заявив, что знаком с инвестором, готовым инвестировать в Bitcoin.
Отмечается, что первая встреча с якобы инвестором произошла 25 августа. На ней Шерстнева попросили показать, как работает Bitcoin-кошелек и перевод средств. При этом на 4 сентября назначили следующую встречу.

Пострадавший утверждает, что на встрече трое мужчин начали ему угрожать, а также требовали телефон и пароль к Bitcoin-кошельку. По его словам, при попытке покинуть комнату, его схватили и начали бить, отобрав телефон.
Алексей заявил, что в баре его продержали около трех часов, требуя перевести им на счет 10-12 Bitcoin, что составляет около $44 000.
При это он обхитрил нападавших, убедив их отправить сигнал SOS с его телефона. Более того, ему удалось сфотографировать одного из них.
Злоумышленники, поняв, что послали сигнал тревоги, покинули помещение.
После этого Шерстнев подал заявление в полицию.

Trio of crooks busted in $1.8M cryptocurrency heist | New York Post
See more of our coverage in your search results.
Three cyber crooks — including a church worker and a city Education Department staffer — were busted Tuesday for an elaborate $1.8 million cryptocurrency heist, authorities said.
The Nov. 4, 2017, scheme allegedly was orchestrated by Louis Meza, 35, who was arrested last December for the robbery.
He set up a meeting with the unnamed victim, then pretended to order an Uber to take him home, prosecutors said.
Allan Nunez, 36, allegedly posed as the Uber driver, while Darrell Colon hid in the back of the minivan. When the victim stepped in, Colon pulled a gun and demanded his keys and a memory stick associated with his Ether currency account, court papers charge.
“I stuck the gun in the guys ribs and took his stuff,” Colon, who said the weapon was a BB gun, allegedly confessed to investigators.
The frightened victim was held captive inside the van for two hours with a hood over his head before escaping, Assistant District Attorney James Vinocur said Tuesday in Manhattan Supreme Court.
“The victim was able to run, terrified, for two blocks until he was able to reach a grocery store and call 911,” the prosecutor said.
Meza allegedly had enlisted his pal, Cesar Guzman, who works as a DOE paraprofessional, to help plan the robbery.
Officials said Guzman, 38, recruited Nunez, a church worker, and Colon from his motorcycle club.
While the victim was trapped inside the van, Meza and Guzman broke into his house.
Meza, who was caught on surveillance video leaving the victims home with a black box, used the stolen data to move the cyber funds into his personal account.
Authorities said they recovered most of the currency.
Defense lawyer Michael Barsky argued that Guzman, who runs a neighborhood charity and cares for his autistic nephew, should be granted reasonable bail.
Attorney Rob Georges made a similar pitch for Nunez, then invoked the sex-assault case against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
He said the disgraced producer was permitted to turn himself in and a bail package was prearranged with the DAs office — a courtesy that wasnt extended to Nunez or his co-defendants.
“And he [Nunez] is not suspected of being nearly as violent,” added Georges. Justice Melissa Jackson, who didnt address the Weinstein comparison, ordered Nunez held on $50,000 bail, Colon on $75,000 and Guzman on $100,000.
The trio pleaded not guilty to grand larceny, kidnapping and other charges. They face up to 25 years in prison.

Man allegedly fires gun over bitcoin transaction
North Dakota man arrested in MKE after allegedly firing gun during bitcoin transaction gone wrong
A North Dakota man pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to firing his gun inside a condo near downtown Milwaukee over an attempted bitcoin transaction.
It happened Saturday, December 30 at the 601 Lofts Condominiums, 601 E. Ogden Ave., according to police.
Jonathan Royce, 28, was charged with recklessly endangering safety after allegedly firing his gun at a business associate who was arguing with him and several other people over the sale of the popular cryptocurrency.
The associate, who reported the confrontation to police, said a man named "Dallas" argued in favor of the sale, while Royce wanted it called off. As the argument escalated, Royce pulled out a gun and fired it once, striking a stove vent, according to the criminal complaint.
After surveying the scene, the Milwaukee Police Department recovered a .32 caliber handgun and a deformed bullet. They also arrested Royce, who was found "leaning into a Subaru with Montana plates," the complaint says.
Royce appears to be a felon from North Dakota, according to the complaint.

Russia: Blogger Who Boasted About Crypto Wealth Beaten and Robbed For $425k
Written by William Subergstaff writerReviewed by Igor Belkinformer editor
Attackers have mugged a cryptocurrency millionaire for almost half a million dollars during a visit to his home in St. Petersburg, Russia.
A Russian cryptocurrency investor and blogger known online as Pavel Nyashin was attacked and robbed in his home in Leningrad Oblast the night of Jan. 14. The assailants stole funds worth 24 mln rubles ($425,000), according to local media.
Nyashin was tied and beaten while a group of masked assailants stole a safe containing cash and “essential documents.”
Nyashin, a self-made millionaire from cryptocurrency investing, had “boasted” about his wealth online and at meetings of well-known bloggers he attended, local media network NTV reports.
The crypto blogger told NTV in a video interview:
“They took the safe in the end, as they knew there was cash in the house. In it was a sum equivalent to 24 mln rubles, as well as a lot of essential documents.”
The 23-year-old Nyashin from St. Petersburg had previously made known about his successes online while advising on how to become rich from cryptocurrency, according to NTV, which ran an admonitory headline “Millionaire blogger beaten and robbed for boasting.” According to Russian-language cryptocurrency news outlet ForkLog, Nyashin is the founder of the YouTube channel on crypto trading that has almost 15,000 subscribers.
ForkLog also reported that the “bandits” destroyed all electronic equipment in Nyashins home and fled the scene in what appeared to be a Mercedes.
NTV adds that the assailants further removed a laptop he used to trade on exchanges. Nyashin himself has yet to find out if his accounts have been hacked and assess the full damage done.
A criminal case has been opened on the armed assault, NTV reports.
Cointelegraph previously reported on the fate of EXMO exchange CEO Pavel Lerner, who was kidnapped in the Ukrainian capital Kiev and only released on payment of a $1 mln ransom late last month.
Prior to that, Ukrainian security personnel allegedly tried to steal funds from Anatoly Kaplan, founder and CEO of ForkLog, in a raid of his place of residence, as well as of the ForkLog office, in Odessa.

Published: 1:30pm, 19 Jan 2018Updated: 11:05pm, 6 Feb 2018
A citywide police search was under way on Friday for five men after a local bitcoin trader was lured to a bogus business meeting and robbed of HK$1.4 million (US$180,000) on a busy street in Hong Kong.
The five included two suspects who posed as sellers and arranged to meet the victim to trade bitcoin for cash, according to a police source.
“The other three attacked the victim and took his bag, containing cash and a mobile phone,” he said.
The attack happened in North Point, on Hong Kong Island.
As of just before noon on Friday, the five suspects were still on the run, according to police.

Yikes! Three armed men tried to rob a Bitcoin Exchange in Canada
As many non-tech savvy people think that Bitcoin looks like a Gold coin as illustrated in many stock images, perhaps these robbers also planned to rob a cryptocurrency exchange thinking that way.
All jokes apart, we saw one such attempt on Tuesday morning, when three men armed with handguns entered the offices of a Canadian Bitcoin exchange in Ottawa, and restrained four of its employees.
The intruders then struck one of the employees in the head with a handgun, asking them to make an outbound transaction from the cryptocurrency exchange.
A fifth employee in another cabin, who remained unseen in an office, called the police before any assets could be taken, and the robbers left empty-handed.
One of the suspects arrested later Wednesday after arriving police officers saw him run into a ravine north of Colonnade Road and deployed "extensive resources," including K-9 unit officers, to find him, CBC News reports.
"Police are looking for two additional suspects, both described as black males," the police says. "Investigators are also interested in identifying and speaking to a person of interest that was inside the premise as the suspects arrived. That person did not remain at the scene."
The suspect in custody, identified as 19-year-old Jimmy St-Hilaire, has been charged with the following offences:
Conspiracy to Commit an indictable offence
Possess weapon for committing an offence
St-Hilaire is set to appear in court on January 24, 2018. Ottawa police are now looking for the remaining two suspects.
The authorities have not revealed the name of the cryptocurrency exchange.
A similar incident happened last month when armed robbers kidnapped a top executive at UK-registered crypto-exchange EXMO Finance and allegedly stole more than $1.8 million of Ether for releasing him.
The New York District Attorney's Office charged New Jersey native Louis Meza for the kidnapping and robbery, claiming Meza held "demanded that the victim turns over his cell phone, wallet, and keys while holding the victim at gunpoint."

Armed criminals attacked a home in Oxfordshire, Britain, last month.
It was the registered address of a cryptocurrency company.
Four men broke in and tried to force inhabitants to make a transfer.
But it failed and the raiders left with nothing, police said.
Officers are still looking for the men and issued descriptions.
Armed burglars who broke into the home of two British bitcoin traders and held them at gunpoint didn't actually manage to steal any cryptocurrency, police have said.
Four men, who are now on the run from Thames Valley Police, tried to force two traders to transfer a large quantity of bitcoin after kicking down the door of a home in rural Moulsford, Oxfordshire, on January 22.
The raid was carried out on the home of Danny Aston and his girlfriend Amy Jay, who had used it as the registered address of their business, Aston Digital Currencies.
But, according to an update on the case more than a week later, the transfer didn't actually work. They did not take any material possessions either, meaning they left empty-handed.
A statement released on Tuesday by Thames Valley Police described the incident:
"The offenders threatened the two men and a woman who were inside the property, with what appeared to be a firearm and demanded one of the occupants to transfer bitcoins electronically to another account.
"The victim was struck to his head but was not seriously injured during the incident. He attended the John Radcliffe Hospital and was later discharged. Nothing was stolen during the incident."
The Oxford Mail local newspaper confirmed with the police force that the transfer did not work, and were told by a spokesman: "It's correct to say that the attempted transaction of bitcoins failed."

Police also released slightly more detail on the suspects, describing their race (three were black, one was white) and what they were wearing ("tracksuits/sports clothing").
Officers are still looking for the men. They asked anybody with dashcam video footage or other evidence from the morning of the raid to contact them.
Police have not issued further information on who the men might have been, but suggested that the raid "may be a targeted incident," implying a level of sophistication beyond that of small-time criminals.
Cryptocurrency and crime are overlapping more and more since the dramatic spike in the value of leading currencies like bitcoin.
Officers from London's Metropolitan Police told Business Insider towards the end of last year that bitcoin is so widely used in the city that even regular drug dealers are using it to launder their takings.

Russian Crypto Developer Beaten, Robbed Of 300 BTC On Moscow Streets

Written by Molly Jane Zuckermanformer writer
Russian crypto developer Yury Mayorov was kidnapped in Moscow, beaten, robbed of 300 BTC, and forced by the robbers to take an unknown pill after with a swig of vodka.
Four unknown men kidnapped Yury Mayorov, the creator of cryptocurrency PRIZM, Forklog news outlet reported yesterday, Feb. 26. According to Forklog, Mayorov was robbed of $20,000, 300 bitcoins (BTC), and three iPhones.
Data on CoinMarketCap shows that PRIZM has a total market cap of around $15.5 mln, and is trading at around $1.04 by press time.
According to Mayorovs own allegations, he was grabbed off of Isakovskogo Street by four men on Feb. 23 at 10:00 pm in Moscow, put into a Mercedes, and beaten while the men drove around the city.
The men took the US dollars, which Mayorov had just exchanged for an upcoming trip to India, the iPhones, and his laptop with access to his crypto wallet with 300 BTC, worth a little over $3 mln today.
Kidnappings and robberies of people involved in cryptocurrencies are becoming more frequent occurrences across Russia and Ukraine.
Four days ago, on Feb. 23, a crypto investor in Moscow was cut in the face with a knife and 100 BTC, now worth about $1 mln, stolen from him. Another attack on a crypto investor took place in St. Petersburg in mid-January, when a crypto YouTube blogger who had bragged about his wealth was attacked and robbed at home of 24 mln rubles, equal to about $428,000.
In December of last year in Ukraine, Pavel Lerner, the director of UK-based crypto exchange EXMO, was kidnapped in Kiev and only released after three days after more than $1 mln in BTC was paid as ransom.

Moscow Man Mutilated And Mugged For $1 Million In Bitcoin, Local Sources Report
Written by William Subergstaff writerReviewed by Igor Belkinformer editor
A man has lost $1 mln worth of Bitcoin to muggers who attacked him when he refused to part with it, local sources report
A cryptocurrency investor fell victim to unidentified assailants in Moscow who reportedly disfigured him and stole over $1 mln worth of Bitcoin, today, Feb. 23, according to local crypto journal Forklog.
According to Forklog, the victim, who has not been named, was in the southern district of the Russian capital when a group of muggers stopped him and demanded he transfer his holdings.
When he refused, they “mutilated his face with a knife” before he surrendered his collection of around 100 BTC, approximately $1,020,000 at press time, according to the publication.
The incident comes just weeks after robbers targeted a well-known YouTube blogger in St. Petersburg, assaulting him and stealing possessions including funds worth $425,000 from a safe.
The unknown Moscow victim is currently receiving medical attention while police attempt to ascertain the sequence of events, according to Forklog.
Security issues surrounding ownership of and even interaction with cryptocurrency continues to fall under the spotlight in both Russia and neighboring states. The Ukrainian Security Service raid of the Odessa office of Forklog itself in December 2017 highlighted the potential for even authorities to indulge in criminal activity, while the abduction of EXMO exchange CEO Pavel Lerner in Kiev in December only ended after payment of a $1 mln ransom.

Bitcoin bandits target Dallas County cryptocurrency ATMs | FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth
Dallas is a startup for bitcoin ATMs where the cryptocurrency can be bought with cash or exchanged for cash.
In late March, two bitcoin ATMs were ravaged by robbers who used high-powered pepper spray known as bear spray to overpower clerks and rob the machines.
Bitcoin is still relatively new and has only been around for about a decade. The new technology has created new thievery. Police in Irving and Mesquite are now looking for the bitcoin bandits.
A bitcoin ATM at a Mesquite gas station was targeted on March 28. Video shows a man buying Gatorade at while at the counter who looks right at the camera. He then returns and sprays the female clerk with bear spray. His partner then breaks in the bitcoin ATM.
“Seems like these machines do contain some cash,” explained Mesquite Police Lt. Brian Parrish. “Apparently, there comes a point when you exchange bitcoins for cash.”
Irving saw the first bitcoin robbery on March 22.
“Once the suspects incapacitated the clerk, then they were able to just break into it and steal the cash cassettes,” explained Irving Police Officer James McLellan.
The motive is the same in both bitcoin robberies. In the Irving case, a heavyset guy in a gray hoodie goes in and sprays the clerk. A thin man in a Raiders hat then hands him a crowbar and goes to work on the ATM machine.
“Its one thing to steal or rob from someone,” Parrish said. “Its another to hurt a defenseless clerk.”
Crime Stoppers is offering $5,000 for the names of the bitcoin bandits. Anyone with information is urged to contact Mesquite or Irving PD.

Two Bogus Bitcoin Brokers Charged With $365,000 Cash Robbery In Singapore
Written by Marie Huilletformer writerReviewed by Igor Belkinformer editor
Two sham Bitcoin sellers have been charged with assault and the alleged theft of $365,000 cash from a Malaysian man in Singapore.
Two 36-year-old men have been arrested in Singapore after allegedly stealing $365,000 in cash from a Malaysian man who wanted to buy Bitcoin (BTC) from them, local media outlets reported Thursday, April 12.
The victim, Pang Joon Hau, had come to Singapore expressly to buy Bitcoins with cash, and believed both men to be Bitcoin sellers, arranging to meet them in his hotel on April 8.
The two men are said to have assaulted both Mr. Pang and his broker, fleeing with the cash.
One of the accused, Mohd Abdul Rahman Mohama, allegedly claimed he was a part-time Bitcoin broker. He is reported to have given his accomplice Syed Mokhtar Syed Yusope about $10,000 and himself spent around $80,000 on luxury goods, including a Rolex watch worth $45,800. The remaining $271,000 are yet to be accounted for. The two were arrested April 9th and 10th, respectively.
At a press conference April 12, Singapore Commander of Central Police Division, Assistant Commissioner of Police Arthur Law said that it is “highly unusual” for people to transact Bitcoin in person, and that Singaporean police are now investigating the origins of Mr. Pangs large sum of cash.
In January 2018, St. Petersburg crypto blogger Pavel Nyashin was robbed of 24 mln rubles in cash from a safe in his home, after “boasting” of his crypto-derived wealth online.

Bitcoin veri contro banconote false: due arresti a Milano per truffa - la Repubblica
Iscriviti gratis alla newsletter di Repubblica Milano
Soldi falsi in cambio di Bitcoin. Due persone - un serbo di 33 anni e un cubano di 35 - sono stati arrestati perché hanno tentato di spacciare a un 22enne una valigia piena di soldi falsi. Solo che il ragazzo si è accorto del raggiro poco prima di trasferire i Bitcoin sul conto dei finti clienti e, quando ha rifiutato di procedere all'operazione, è stato aggredito dai due uomini e da una donna di cui si sono perse le tracce.
La vicenda risale al tardo pomeriggio di ieri. A dare l'allarme, attorno alle 19.15, è stato l'inquilino della palazzina di viale Abruzzi all'interno della quale si svolgeva l'incontro. Il cittadino ha chiamato la polizia dopo aver sentito delle urla e un colpo di pistola (che poi si rivelata una scacciacani). Altri hanno segnalato una mazzetta di 500 euro sul marciapiedi, una parte dei soldi fac-simile usati per la truffa. Quando, poi, gli agenti sono arrivati hanno trovato il 22enne, cioè la vittima, con il naso rotto e vari traumi in faccia e il cubano con un trauma cranico: entrambi sono finiti al Fatebenefratelli, il primo con una prognosi di 14 giorni e il secondo di 7.
La vittima ha spiegato ai militari che, tempo fa, era stata messo in contatto con i due compratori, ora in cella, attraverso un amico russo con cui spesso conclude affari. Il primo incontro con i due è avvenuto alcuni giorni fa in un bar del Quadrilatero, dove sarebbe stata effettuata una prova di transazione andata a buon fine: 7 Bitcoin in cambio di 50mila euro.
Ieri pomeriggio si sono di nuovo incontrati per concludere lo scambio nell'ufficio in viale Abruzzi affittato per circa un'ora al cubano da una società. I truffatori avevano altri 45mila euro in contanti da mostrare come 'esca', li hanno passati sotto la lampada per il controllo delle banconote, infilato nella macchina conta soldi e infine in una busta da lettere.
È stato questo ultimo passaggio a insospettire il 22enne, che ha chiesto di guardare tutte le banconote. Al rifiuto del gruppo ha chiuso il computer e ha provato a uscire dalla stanza ma a quel punto è stato aggredito ed è stato esploso il colpo di pistola per intimidirlo. Nella concitazione la donna è scappata portando via con sé i 50mila euro che erano stati consegnati al ragazzo per la prima transazione. Gli agenti hanno invece trovato nell'auto dei truffatori gli altri 45mila euro necessari per ingannare la vittima.

Allegations of criminal activity continue at Skycoin as executives freeze funds to contain fallout from a theft by the coins own marketing team.
18 BTC, Skycoins Stolen In Burglarization
Skycoin, which describes itself as “the most advanced blockchain platform in the world,” saw massive sell-offs this month after it emerged insider trading had taken place around the time Binance announced it would list the coin in May.
In a blog post June 18, Skycoin confirmed details of what is described as a “burglarization” involving its CEO, who is known as Synth, and members of the China-based marketing team.
Nine individuals allegedly broke into Synths home, taking him and his wife hostage while attempting to steal funds and technical information.
“They proceeded to hold Synth and his wife against their will for 6 hours, over the course of which they threatened, beat and robbed them,” the post reads.
Thanks to wallet security measures, the group was only able to extract 18.88 Bitcoin and 6466 skycoins during the robbery. The gang also attempted and failed to steal the design framework for the skycoin ecosystem.
The revelations continue the problems at Skycoin, with cryptocurrency commentators likening the insider trading scandal to Coinbases alleged attempts to add Bitcoin Cash functionality to its exchange in 2017.
In order to prevent stolen funds being traded, Skycoin announced it had contacted exchanges to demand asset freezes. While it remains unclear to what extent those exchanges have cooperated with their request, the decision reportedly has had a positive influence on markets.
“According to feedback from exchanges, the accounts holding stolen skycoins have been frozen, so any further impact on the market should be limited. Though some panic selling seems to be continuing, as of this writing the market price has recovered by approximately 30%,” the post states.
Skycoin once traded over $32, with the combined effect of the scandal suppressing prices to below 25 percent of that figure at press time June 19.

Friends accused of torturing pal to steal his cryptocurrency | New York Post
See more of our coverage in your search results.
These guys are accused of taking a “bit” out of crime.
A group of young professional men ransacked their pals luxury apartment after a night of drinking and forced him to cough up his cryptocurrency account login information, the Manhattan District Attorneys Office charges in a new complaint.
Defendant Stephen Orso, 25, allegedly demanded that Nicholas Truglia “provide him with login information for his cryptocurrency accounts while holding his head underwater in the bathtub, punching him in the stomach and throwing hot wax on him,” court papers charge.
Cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, serve as a digital medium of exchange and payment.
Orso, the son of a wealthy venture capitalist, and three pals, David Leica, 19, Steven Dorn, 29, and Chris David, 25, escorted a soused Truglia to his high-rise apartment on West 42nd Street at about 2:50 a.m. on Sept. 7, according to a criminal complaint.
Surveillance video shows the crew leaving about two hours later, and David appears “to be concealing a rectangular object under his sweatshirt consistent with a laptop computer,” the papers allege.
Truglia, 27, told cops he woke up and realized his laptop, two mobile phones and a thumb drive containing his cryptocurrency account information were missing.
The complaint doesnt say whether the men, who flaunt their extravagant lifestyles in online posts, hacked into Truglias cryptocurrency account or stole any funds. Nor does it say which currency network he uses.
The next day, Truglia pinged his iPhone and it allegedly showed up in the vicinity of an apartment shared by the defendants.
Leica allegedly sent Truglias iPhone to him in an Uber the next day and David allegedly returned the laptop, which was splattered in wax, court papers say.
Defense lawyer Stacey Richman, who represents all four defendants, said that the accusations are outright falsehoods and that Truglia has since recanted.
She said that her clients were only trying to do the right thing by “helping a person who had overimbibed” get home from the club.
“For his own safety, they stepped up,” she said.
“I provided audio to the district attorneys office wherein the complainant admits these allegations are false,” she maintained.
“Its disappointing that our standard of journalism does not permit the innocent to have their day in court and slanders them upon accusation.”
The jet-setting defendants social media accounts show them consorting with celebrities, including bad-boy quarterback Johnny Manziel and superstar Knicks player Kristaps Porzingis.
On Instagram, Orso, Leica and Dorn are shown smiling in front of a private jet and in dozens of photographs while posing with a string of stunning models at clubs and red-carpet events.
The defendants are each charged with one count of second-degree burglary.
The four men were all released without bail. They are due back in court March 14 to find out whether theyve been indicted.

Read this Term trader in South Africa was lured to a residence under false pretences and set upon by five individuals who wanted his cryptocurrency. The crime took place in Soweto, a township in Johannesburg.
According to local news source Soweto Urban, "Andrew", of Lanseria, was invited to give a presentation at a private residence by a man he had met on Facebook, and later in person. When he got there, someone came up behind him and knocked him out by way of a chemical-soaked cloth to the face.
He awoke in a different house, surrounded by five individuals. These stripped him, assaulted him, and burned him with a hot iron, demanding to know his account details. They also threatened to kill him.
He transferred Bitcoin worth approximately 900,000 rand ($65,984) to the assailants, who also robbed him of two mobile phones, two laptops, 3,000 rand in cash, and then dumped him blindfolded on the side of a road.
Andrew is currently in intensive care being treated for burns.
In September 2018, a Cape Town businessman named Liyaqat Parker was held hostage for over two months by kidnappers who demanded 50 bitcoins. And outside of South Africa, a complicated case in India saw a man complain to the police that he was kidnapped by nine corrupt police officers. In the end, it transpired that he himself was the kidnapper, of a different individual; he had taken revenge for losing money in a BitConnect-related scheme. He extorted millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin from his victims and is currently in hiding.
Violent crimes involving Bitcoin do seem to have peaked; in late 2017/early 2018 stories were breaking more frequently. Examples include: armed men attempting to rob a Bitcoin exchange in Canada; a man assaulted and forced to transfer bitcoins in Taiwan; armed men breaking into a house and threatening a man's family to get him to transfer bitcoins in Oxfordshire; a gang in New Delhi involved in kidnappings and fraud; and a New York man (armed of course) accosting a man and stealing his digital wallet.
There seems to have been fewer of these kinds of stories as the year has progressed; perhaps there is, after all, a positive to be found in the waning value of Cryptocurrencies

Mpumalanga police arrest two Bitcoin kidnapping suspects
Mpumalanga police, after months of hard work, have arrested two people alleged to be behind the kidnapping of a young Witbank boy and the attempted kidnapping of a girl from Middelburg.
Mpumalanga police, after months of hard work, have arrested two people alleged to be behind the kidnapping of a Witbank teenager and the attempted kidnapping of a girl from Middelburg.
The incidents happened in May and August 2018.
In the Witbank case, the suspects demanded ransom in the form of Bitcoins for the safe return of the 13-year-old boy. Police suspect a similar plan in the second case, had the abduction succeeded.
"These cases were the first of their kind in Mpumalanga and a task team comprising of different units within the South African Police Service was immediately established by police management to investigate this matter," said Brigadier Leonard Hlathi.
"The dedicated formations left no stone unturned in their investigation, knitting all clues and eventually their efforts yielded positive results as the suspects were arrested thereafter at different locations," he added.
The suspects behind the kidnappings in the neighbouring towns are men aged 30 and 31. One was nabbed in November in Germiston in Gauteng, while the second was arrested in Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal, on December 30.
The first victim was the Witbank boy, who was snatched near his home on May 20 as he walked back from a nearby spaza shop with a friend.
Part of the brazen kidnapping, which happened in broad daylight, was captured on a neighbour's CCTV camera.
TimesLIVE saw the footage, which showed the moments the boy was forced into a silver-coloured Toyota Corolla which sped off with him inside, while his friend stood in disbelief.
After his parents rushed to the police station to report the kidnapping, they returned to find a ransom note in their yard. The amount demanded was the equivalent of R1.5m.
A few days later, he was reunited with his family unharmed. Police had not disclosed whether any ransom had been paid for his safe return.
"A few months later, on 21 August 2018, the suspects attempted to kidnap a 13-year-old girl in Aerorand, Middelburg," said Hlathi.
"They dragged her into their vehicle, a VW Polo, but the girl shouted for help and was heard by a group of people working nearby, who swiftly came to her aid and helped her escape.
"The suspects fled the scene, thereafter leaving their vehicle abandoned with their belongings inside. During the investigation, it was established that they (suspects) had the same intentions as in the first case," Hlathi said.
The two suspects appeared in court on Tuesday and were granted R1,000 bail each, Hlathi said.

Bitcoin trader brutally tortured with drill in cryptocurrency robbery | The Independent | The Independent

Police in the Netherlands are investigating the brutal torture of a bitcoin trader, whose home was raided by criminals looking for cryptocurrency.
Three robbers disguised as police entered the victim's home in Drenthe and attacked him with a drill in front of his four-year-old daughter, Dutch publication De Telegraaf reported.
The hour-long ordeal also involved the victim being threatened with firearms, before the perpetrators fled in an escape vehicle. The digital nature of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies mean long and complex passwords or private keys are required to access assets and transfer them to another digital wallet.
Police did not reveal the identity of the victim but it is not believed any cryptocurrency was stolen during the raid.
A spokesperson for Northern Netherlands Police told The Independent that the investigation is ongoing.
It is not the first time criminals have targeted cryptocurrency investors and traders, with the earliest reported instance taking place in 2015.
In February of that year, New York City firefighter Dwayne Richards was stabbed in Willamsburg, Brooklyn, by muggers who demanded he transferred bitcoin to their digital wallets.
Cryptocurrency mystery deepens as $143m goes missing
Bitcoin, which is currently worth around $3,800 (£2,800), is semi-anonymous and therefore difficult to trace to a single individual.
Since its peak in late 2017, bitcoin has lost close to three quarters of its value, yet still remains an attractive prospect for criminals.
In one of the most notable examples of criminals targeting holders of bitcoin, kidnappers in the Ukraine made more than $1 million in digital currency in 2017 after ransoming cryptocurrency analyst Pavel Lerner.
The UK's first bitcoin heist took place in January last year, when armed robbers broke into the home of cryptocurrency trader Danny Aston in Moulsford, South Oxfordshire.
Mr Aston was tied up during the home invasion and an unknown quantity of bitcoin was seized by the attackers.

Masked men with weapons rob Northampton shop for bitcoin machine
Robbers in Northampton threatened a shopkeeper with a machete for a device that turns cash into digital currency.
At around 8.30pm on Tuesday (March 12) three men went to the Costcutter shop on St Leonards Road, in Far Cotton, leaving one person waiting outside, Northamptonshire Police today confirmed.
Two men then went inside, one threatened staff with a curved machete while the other smashed a Bitcoin machine off the shop wall with a sledgehammer.
The offenders then left the shop with the machine, walking away along Haines Road and Euston Road.
A spokeswoman for Northamptonshire Police said: "All the men wore face coverings and gloves. The one with the machete is described as wearing a black balaclava, black puffer parka jacket, blue jogging bottoms and light coloured trainers.
"The man with the sledgehammer wore a black balaclava, grey/green puffer style parka jacket, black jogging bottoms and black trainers.
"The third man wore a grey puffer style parka jacket and had a grey face covering."
Anyone who witnessed the robbery, saw the men in the area at the time, or who has information about the incident is asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101.

A criminal gang operating in India kidnapped and tortured cryptocurrency traders in recent weeks before demanding 80 bitcoins as ransom, police say. The ordeal—which lasted more than two weeks for the victims—came to an end yesterday as seven people linked to the gang were arrested, the Hindustan Times newspaper reported. Law enforcement in Jaipur city said the police operation on Sunday lasted 13 hours. Three men had been held captive for 15 days inside a high-rise building and were beaten or tortured, deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Vikas Sharma told local media. The individuals were named as Luftan Shaikh, 19, Mohammad Shazad, 36 and Malang Shah, 44. "The gang kidnapped Shaikh and Shazad, two bitcoin traders, and demanded 80 bitcoin worth ₹8 crore ($1.2 million). Shah was kidnapped two days later. The gang demanded ₹10 lakh ($15,000) from his family members," the deputy commissioner said in a statement. The price of digital currency bitcoin fluctuates daily, which likely explains the difference in exchange rate. Police said officers were alerted to the scheme after a 20-minute chase resulted in the arrest of a suspect who was seen carrying a pistol in Bhakrota, which is a residential area in Jaipur. The man told officers about the kidnapping and gave up the location of the apartment building. India-based media outlet NDTV reported that the cryptocurrency traders had been lured into the region by gang members who claimed to be selling bitcoins at a low price.

Mit einer Pistole und mit einem Gummiknüppel bewaffnet forderten sie Geld und Kryptowährungen (Internetgeld, Anm.).
Das Opfer gab ihnen Bargeld und musste dann von seinem Computer aus Kryptowährungen überweisen. Die Summe ist noch nicht bekannt. Dann fesselten die beiden Männer den 30-Jährigen mit Kabel sowie Klebeband und ließen ihn so in seinem Büro zurück. Der Mann konnte sich später mühsam befreien und die Polizei verständigen.

Police say abducted Norwegian woman probably murdered
Investigator says kidnapping possibly staged to disguise killing of Anne-Elisabeth Hagen, wife of wealthy investor
The wife of a wealthy Norwegian businessman who disappeared nearly eight months ago was probably killed and the murder made to look like a kidnapping, police have said.
Anne-Elisabeth Hagen, whose husband, Tom Hagen, is a real estate investor and energy magnate, went missing from their home in Lørenskog, near Oslo, on 31 October.
The Verdens Gang daily reported that the presumed abductors had demanded €9m (£8m) in the cryptocurrency Monero, a digital cash system that is especially hard to trace. A ransom note had been found at the couples home. Police at the time refused to confirm the sum but said they had advised the family not to pay.
Online contacts with the presumed kidnappers earlier in the investigation were unable to confirm that those people were holding Hagen, 68, or that she was still alive.
Tommy Brøske, the lead investigator, told a news conference: “As a result, our main hypothesis has been modified Anne-Elisabeth was killed. There may have been an attempt to disguise the murder as a kidnapping.”.
He added that the supposed abductors lack of a desire to “bank the ransom” was one of the other key factors behind the conclusion. He declined to state whether police had any suspects in the case.
The familys lawyer, Svein Holden, told reporters he viewed the crime as a “kidnapping that turned into a possible murder”.
Tom Hagen, in his late 60s, has an estimated fortune of €174m, according to the magazine Kapital.

4 arrested over killing of Delta PDP member
Four persons have been arrested in connection with the killing of a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Abraka, Ethiope East local government area of Delta State.
The victim, Iroro Wisdom Ovie, a father of two, was beaten and shot by unknown gunmen last month at his Lucas area residence along the Police Station axis of Abraka.
Confirming the arrest of the suspects yesterday, a security source at the Abraka police station disclosed that eight members of the Vikings confraternity were fingered in the incident, adding that four of the suspects including a bosom friend of the victim have been arrested and are currently in police custody.
He said: “Two of the suspects are members of the anti-cult group while the other arrested suspect is the leader of the Vikings confraternity in the area.

“Investigations so far have also revealed that the bosom friend of the victim arrested had hinted one of the suspects of the discovery of $10, 000 in the victims Bitcoin wallet and then contacted the other suspects for the robbery operation.
“From the confessional statements of the suspects, their intentions for carrying out the operation was to dispossess Iroro of the $10, 000 in his Bitcoin wallet but were disappointed to find out that what was left when they struck was $400.
“According to them, they were forced to shoot him twice as he made an attempt to identify them while they were trying to open his account through his phone.
“They eventually left with the phone and days later planned to sell the phone to a buyer, who rather than purchasing it decided to contact security operatives. With the help of the anti-cult group, the police were able to arrest four of the suspects.”
Contacted, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Onome Onovwakpoyeya, promised to get details of the incident, but she was yet to as at press time.

Man out on bail for cheating charges allegedly kidnapped in Thailand, Singapore News - AsiaOne
Man out on bail for cheating charges allegedly kidnapped in Thailand
PUBLISHED ONJanuary 14, 2020 12:14 AMBYDavid Sun
A Singaporean businessman facing cheating charges here was allegedly kidnapped and tortured in Thailand last week.
Despite paying his captors more than $60,000 in Bitcoin for his freedom, Mark Cheng Jin Quan, 32, claimed they were still going to execute him at gunpoint until he managed to escape.
The blockchain adviser with Singapore fintech company X Infinity said he reported the kidnapping to Thai police last Friday, hours after his escape.
He was worried about his Singaporean acquaintance, Kim Lee Yao Wei, 31, who had also been kidnapped after accompanying him on the business trip to Thailand.
But in a dramatic twist yesterday, the Royal Thai Police told a press conference that Lee was the alleged mastermind of the kidnapping and had been arrested and charged with robbery, illegal detention, physical assault and illegal possession of firearms.
Cheng was slapped with one charge under the Securities and Futures Act and three charges for criminal breach of trust in the State Courts here last year.
He is alleged to have dishonestly misappropriated more than $300,000 belonging to an investments company in 2014.
Cheng was given bail of $120,000 for permission to go to Thailand and Malaysia for work-related matters last Wednesday.
He reportedly arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok with Lee, whom he knew through Bitcoin dealings, on Thursday morning.
Cheng claimed Lee had persuaded him to go to Thailand and negotiate a business deal with some locals.
They took a private taxi at the airport and later stopped at a petrol kiosk along the way at Lee's suggestion, Cheng told Chinese evening daily Lianhe Wanbao.
At the kiosk, a group of masked men allegedly grabbed and bundled them into a nearby car. They were then blindfolded, beaten and drugged.
Over the next 12 hours, he was taken to four different locations in forested areas where he was tortured, Cheng told Wanbao.
"They took off my clothes, splashed ice water on me and gave me electric shocks. They demanded that I hand over US$1 million (S$1.3m) in Bitcoin," he said.
But he told them he could give them only 1.4 million baht (S$62,400) in Bitcoin. After he paid them, they took him to a hut in a padi field where they pointed a gun at his head.
He had earlier heard men digging what he believed to be a grave, he told Wanbao.
"One of them held the gun against the back of my head while the others stepped away.
"Fortunately, I know martial arts. I reached behind my head and grabbed the pistol, and then I fled," he said.
Royal Thai Police spokesman Colonel Krisana Pattanacharoen said a good Samaritan picked up Cheng at the side of the road and took him to Ongkharak Police Station, some 60km from Bangkok, where he made a report at about 7.30am last Friday, Thai news outlet Siam Rath reported.
Colonel Krisana added that Lee was arrested on Sunday in a Bangkok hotel after a manhunt.
Mr Chano Pemberger, a 24-year-old Thai actor, who allegedly owns the car used in the kidnapping, is currently a person of interest in the case, Thai news outlet Sanook reported.
Cheng is still shocked by the revelation that Lee had allegedly masterminded the kidnapping, Wanbao reported.
"I didn't expect my friend to be involved. I really don't know who I can trust now," he said.
Cheng, who claims he is currently under police protection in a safe house in Thailand, is expected to testify in Lee's trial at a later date.
Cheng, who co-founded Avelife, a non-governmental organisation that focuses on social enterprise and the environment, is the first Singaporean to win the Queen's Young Leaders Award in 2016 for his involvement in environmental initiatives.
It is not known if he will return to Singapore for his next court hearing on Feb 3.

Men jailed for armed robbery using cryptocurrency exchange
Two armed robbers who forced their victims to open cryptocurrency accounts at gunpoint in a bid to covertly steal money have been jailed.
Jordan Barrett, 23, and Ted Richards, 24, used a crypto-exchange website to try and hide their tracks and cheat justice.
They targeted the house in Moorhouse Road, Carlisle, in February 2020.
At Carlisle Crown Court, both men admitted two counts of robbery and two counts of false imprisonment.
Barrett and Richards targeted the property because Barrett believed a third man living there had been the driver in a collision which seriously injured his girlfriend, the court heard.
Armed with a starter pistol and a knife, the masked duo "took the victims' phones, forced them to unlock them and then log into their online bank accounts in order to move money between the accounts," prosecutor Hannah Forsyth said.
After cash was transferred, Barrett and Richards then tried to deposit £3,500 from one account to a cryptocurrency exchange website.
They forced their victims to hold up ID while photos were taken and attempts were made to open bogus accounts in their names.
"While the male with the knife took the pictures and forced the victims to move money between accounts, the man with the pistol stood over the others and pointed the gun - which had a torch and laser on it - at them," Ms Forsyth said.
When a friend arrived at the property, one victim was urged to make him leave and warned: "Don't do anything stupid and you won't get hurt", the court was told.
Barrett and Richards stole a games console and iPhone before Barrett fired the imitation firearm outside the property "as a warning".
Police were alerted before the fake cryptocurrency accounts could be authenticated. Detectives and financial investigators carried out an inquiry and found the gun at Barrett's address. DNA found on the magazine and trigger belonged to Richards.
Judge Nicholas Barker jailed Barrett, of Red Bank Square, Carlisle, for six years nine months and Richards, of Empire Square, Southwark, London, for six years.
The judge said their victims were subjected to a "terrifying ordeal" as they believed the gun was genuine.
One victim said he had since suffered from depression and anxiety, while the other man suffered nightmares and anxiety, and felt vulnerable in his own home.
Following sentencing, Det Supt Jenny Beattie, of Cumbria Police, said: "The determination shown by the investigation team has been unwavering in carrying out the inquires which has led to a successful conviction.
"The team's efforts are particularly impressive given the circumstances of how the criminals forced the victims to create cryptocurrency accounts, so they could attempt to evade identification, is believed to be a first to be put before a court in this country."

Man convicted after cryptocurrency robbery
A 28-year-old man from Lanarkshire has been convicted after having up to £1.2m worth of cryptocurrency in his account following a violent robbery.
John Ross D'Alfonso was described as the "technical" brains behind the crime - thought to be the first robbery in Scotland involving stolen cryptocurrency.
He had denied being part of the raid itself but was found guilty of reset, meaning he knowingly had something that was stolen and intended to keep it.
The High Court in Glasgow heard that three men went into a home in Blantyre in Lanarkshire and forced the homeowner to transfer his Bitcoin, a form of digital cash, to D'Alfonso's account.
The court was told that one of the men in the house was armed with a machete, and another repeatedly struck a woman on the head with a personalised Toblerone bar until it was covered in blood.
The three men then escaped in an expensive Audi car belonging to the homeowner after the cash was transferred.
The court heard that because of the unstable nature of the value of Bitcoin, it could have been worth anywhere between £100,000 and £1.2m when stolen on 18 March 2020.

D'Alfonso, who was a delivery driver from Cambuslang, had been described as the technical mind behind the robbery and denied being involved on the day.
He insisted a "scary" relative had forced him to put the money into his account.
Jurors were told there was "no dispute" the digital cash had been stolen and that it ended up in D'Alfonso's account and was transferred elsewhere.
Prosecutors said D'Alfonso had not been at the robbery that night and instead gave "technical expertise" to help steal the money.
D'Alfonso was cleared of robbery and assault charges and will be sentenced later this month in Edinburgh.
Det Insp Craig Potter, of Police Scotlands Cyber Investigations unit called the case a complex investigation.
"This is a complex and constantly evolving technology," he said.
"Specialist cybercrime officers were able to follow the movement of funds to show he had been responsible for the bitcoin wallet which received the stolen funds.
"This conviction demonstrates Police Scotland capability and commitment to tackling criminality involving the digital space and bringing criminals operating in this world to justice."

Three SBU officers face charges over kidnapping of a businessman and extortion of 7 BTC
The State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine has established the involvement of three officers of the Cyber Department of the Security Service (SBU) in the kidnapping of a cryptocurrency trader and the theft of money from him. This is reported in the ruling of the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv.
According to the investigation, in autumn 2020, senior management of the SBU received information that the entrepreneur had a large amount of cryptocurrency.
In broad daylight on 1 October 2020 in Kyiv, outside a pub on Mykhailivska Street, security forces approached the businessman and shoved him into a Volkswagen T5. In the car they took the victims mobile phone and keys to the apartment, from which two laptops and a tablet were subsequently removed.
Then they brought the trader to a forest near Parkova Road and, for about an hour and a half, beat him inside the car and demanded to hand over $200 000. After the refusal, the security forces transported the kidnapped person to the Shevchenkivske Police Department.
There they continued to extort funds, lowering the amount to $80 000. The businessman agreed and called his wife, who transferred 7 BTC (at the time equivalent to the ransom) to the cryptocurrency wallet indicated by the security forces.
After this, one of the SBU officers filed a report stating that the entrepreneur had allegedly been detained by them late on 1 October as a person wanted for extradition at the request of the Russian Federation.
According to the State Bureau of Investigation, the criminal group included:
Deputy Head of the First Directorate of the Department of Counterintelligence Protection of State Interests in the Information Security sphere of the SBU;
Head of the Department of Counterintelligence Protection of State Interests in the Information Security sphere of the SBUs Sumy Region Directorate;
Senior operative of the 3rd Department of the 1st Directorate of the Department of Counterintelligence Protection of State Interests in the Information Security sphere of the SBU.
They were charged with theft of cryptocurrency, robbery with violence, kidnapping, and abuse of office.
All three suspects were placed under house arrest. They have been suspended from their posts.
The investigation is also examining the involvement of eight more SBU employees.
Earlier in July, a Ukrainian blogger staged her kidnapping for a ransom of 5 BTC.

Житель Латвии планировал убийство владельцев криптовалют на полмиллиона евро
Государственная полиция Латвии предотвратила похищение и убийство двух людей, запланированные преступником с целью получить от них криптовалюту на сумму около 500 тысяч евро.
Информацию о готовящемся преступлении правоохранители получили в сентябре. Они выяснили, что житель Риги искал в преступной среде исполнителей похищения человека. Злоумышленник планировал заставить жертву перевести имеющуюся криптовалюту на указанный кошелек и затем убить.
В ходе наблюдения за организатором преступления, оперативники установили, что он уже выслеживает жертву, выясняя маршруты его передвижения и распорядок дня.
Злоумышленник также заготовил орудия для пыток, которые планировалось использовать, если пострадавший отказался бы предоставить пароли от своих криптовалютных кошельков.
В дальнейшем полицейские узнали, что по схожему сценарию планируется похищение и убийство еще одного человека. В результате двух похищений организатор намеревался получить криптовалюту на сумму 500 тысяч евро.
Его задержали 7 октября в момент, когда он поджидал потерпевшего с целью похищения. Подозреваемый полностью признал свою вину.
Ранее он уже был судим, в том числе за мошенничество.
На время следствия рижанина арестовали по решению суда.
Напомним, в апреле в московский суд начал рассматривать дело четверых обвиняемых в покушении на столичного предпринимателя с целью вымогательства биткоинов.

Attempt to rob Dh500,000 foiled in Dubai, gang of four members arrested
Defendants attacked bitcoin buyer and his friends and sprayed deodorants on their faces
Robbers in Dubai tried to snatch Dh500,000 in cash from an investor who wanted to buy bitcoins. Picture for illustrative purposes only.Gulf News Archives
Dubai: A group of four Dubai-based expatriates has been accused of attempted robbery of Dh500,000 from an investor in a fraudulent bitcoin transaction.
According to the Dubai Court of First Instance, the four Ukrainian defendants aged between 28 and 34 years, broke into an office in the Al Barsha area of Dubai and tried to steal the cryptocurrency after attacking the investor and two of his friends.
A 33-year-old Egyptian witness, who was told by the investor and another person to join them in buying the cryptocurrency, said that he went to the office carrying Dh500,000 in cash in a bag. “A man told us to wait until the arrival of the bitcoin seller. As they were getting late, the victim told the man that they would leave, when the door opened and the four Ukrainian suspects came in, attacked the victim and tried to steal the money,” said the Egyptian witness.
The four defendants physically assaulted the victims and sprayed a deodorant directly on to the victims faces.
“As the victim raised an alarm, screaming thieves ... thieves the attackers couldnt steal the money and they escaped from the spot,” added the Egyptian witness.
Dubai Police have arrested all the four defendants who were charged with attempted robbery.

У Тернополі затримали автовикрадачів, які катували чоловіка і вимагали у нього $800 тисяч
Затримано організатора, співорганізатора та виконавця.
У Тернополі затримали викрадачів авто, які катували чоловіка та вимагали у нього 800 тисяч доларів. Їм інкримінують одразу три статті Кримінального
кодексу: незаконне позбавлення волі, вимагання та незаконне заволодіння транспортним засобом.
Про це повідомляє пресслужба Міністерства внутрішніх справ.
За словами заступника начальника відділу розслідування особливо тяжких злочинів СУ ГУНП в Тернопільській області Віталія Гатанюка, впродовж ночі група невідомих осіб утримувала та катувала
уродженця області. Чоловік мешкає в Києві, займається бізнесом, пов'язаним з криптовалютою. До Тернополя разом з дружиною він приїхав до родича на день народження.
На виїзді з міста близько 19:00 група невідомих трьома авто заблокувала йому дорогу. Зловмисники витягли чоловіка з салону та силою заштовхали в багажник іномарки, надягнувши на руки кайданки.
Дружину посадили в інше авто і повезли у невідомому напрямку. Викрали зловмисники і автомобіль марки Toyota Camry.
Про злочин та своє місце знаходження повідомив сам потерпілий уже під ранок після ночі катувань. Викрадачі не знайшли у нього другий телефон. За словами потерпілого, невідомі катували його і
погрожували вбивством, якщо він не заплатить їм 800 тисяч доларів.
Правоохоронцям вдалося затримати двох із семи підозрюваних - співорганізатора та виконавця. Їм обрали запобіжний захід у вигляді тримання під вартою з правом внесення застави у розмірі 630 та 500
тисяч гривень відповідно. Ще одного викрадача затримали через півтори доби. Самостійно прийшов та здався до поліції і організатор. Щодо нього в суді знаходиться кримінальне провадження за збут
наркотиків у складі організованої злочинної групи.
Місце перебування ще трьох підозрюваних встановлюється. Наразі відомо, що один з групи уже встиг перетнути кордон.
Дружину потерпілого утримували в одному з готелів Тернополя. До неї фізичну силу не застосовували.
Викрадене авто працівники поліції знайшли за кілька кілометрів від місця злочину.
Нагадаємо, у листопаді в Києві два брати викрали криптовалютника і відпустили його за $50 тис.
У грудні в місті Ірпінь Київської області затримали організовану озброєну групу, яка займалася розбійними
нападами. Четверо мешканців Ірпеня та раніше судимий уродженець Херсонщини створили організовану групу - банду та 30 листопада цього року скоїли розбійний напад на родину колишнього бізнесмена у
Київській області.
Вони катувлаи його родину та забрали усі гроші та прикраси.

Gang of six rob more than HK$3 million in bitcoin from trader, flee after kicking him out of the car
A 37-year-old male trader trying to capitalize on the surge of Bitcoin was robbed of around HK$3 million in cash -- the value of 15 bitcoins -- and two mobile phones, minutes after being lured into in-person transaction of the cryptocurrency.
The incident comes as more traders who want to avoid the hassle of paying the service fee of online Bitcoin transactions choose to sell bitcoins in person.
A gang of six South Asian men in their 30s remain at large after fleeing on Tai Tam Road, Chai Wan in two cars.
The trader surnamed Lee was left empty-handed, after the suspects ran away with HK$3 million cash that they pretended to pay him and Lee's 15 bitcoins worth HK$235,000 each were transferred to bitcoin wallet, according to police.
Lee told police that he was picked up by two South Asian men posing as buyers in a white car outside a hotel in North Point around 5pm on Monday.
He was then driven to Chai Wan, during which he transferred 15 bitcoins to the duo on his mobile phones, while the pair handed him HK$3 million in cash.
But as Lee was counting his proceeds, the car pulled over on a hillside near Shan Tsui Court on Tai Tam Road.
Shortly afterwards, a black car arrived and four South Asian men jumped into the white car, snatched the banknotes and two mobile phones before fleeing the scene in the black car.
Later, the two buyers shouted at Lee: “Money is gone, get off my car!” and kicked him out of the car before driving away.
The incident came to light at around 8pm when Lee walked for about five minutes and approached a police officer at the nearby Hing Man Estate on Tai Tam Road.
Lee was not injured as police combed Hing Man Estate late Monday evening but to no avail.
The six suspects remained at large as of last night.
The case has been classified as robbery and is being investigated by the Eastern District Crime Squad.
Lee, who has been a full-time Bitcoin trader for seven years, agreed to make the transaction with the two buyers via WeChat at 1pm Monday.
He had also traded his bitcoins with the two for HK$1 million online Sunday night.
In 2018, a 34-year-old local male buyer was robbed of HK$1.4 million in cash following an in-person Bitcoin transaction hoax in North Point.
Trading bitcoins in person has become popular recently, in which the buyer will clarify the acceptable currencies, banknotes and payment forms with traders beforehand, as banks are more aggressively acting against Bitcoin companies.
Other means to purchase bitcoins, including through a Bitcoin ATM, a “Bitcoin Wallet” that can be downloaded on phones and computers and exchanges, are also popular.
The price of Bitcoin has surged five times in less than a year and hit an all-time high last Christmas and early this month.
At midnight yesterday, the price per bitcoin broke through US$31,000 (HK$ 240,335), according to CryptoCompare, a website that discusses the value of various cryptocurrencies.
About 18.5 million out of a total of 21 million bitcoins have been mined and all the bitcoins will be snapped up by 2040.
Once all the bitcoins have been mined, buyers will still be incentivized to process transactions with fees.

Polish crypto exchange employee in induced coma after armed attack
Written by Marie Huilletformer writerReviewed by Alex Cohenformer editor
On Jan. 22, an attacker shot two employees at a cryptocurrency and gold exchange in the Polish city of Olsztyn, escaping with over $120,000 in gold.
Polish police have detained a suspect in an armed attack on FlyingAtom, a cryptocurrency and gold exchange in the city of Olsztyn in northeastern Poland. The incident, which occurred around 7 p.m. local time on Jan. 22, resulted in the injuries of two employees — one of whose situation was severe enough to necessitate an induced coma.
According to local media reports from Jan. 23, the masked attacker escaped with gold worth 450,000 zloty (roughly $120,000), fleeing the exchange's office on the fourth floor of a skyscraper in the city center. Following the incident, police secured the area and scoured surveillance footage, cordoning off multiple roads in the city and searching passing cars. Roads were re-opened by the following morning.
On Jan. 23, FlyingAtom publicized an announcement offering a prize of 100,000 zloty for any information that could help to identify the perpetrator.
A local crypto outlet reported on Jan. 24 that a suspect was subsequently detained in connection with the investigation. The outlet cited the press spokesman of the Municipal Police Headquarters in Olsztyn, Andrzej Jurkun, with a comment on the evening of Jan. 23 that “in Bydgoszcz [the police] detained a man who may be related to the attack. We do not provide more information, activities are underway. "
On Jan. 25, FlyingAtom published a Facebook post thanking the police for their successful capture of the suspect, as well as medical authorities for their ongoing care of the injured victims, appearing to confirm the earlier report of the suspect's detention. Since the attack, the exchange's office has been closed and will likely resume operations in early March, according to a post from Feb. 1.
While many criminal incidents related to cryptocurrency are perpetrated online, there is nonetheless a persistent risk of physical robbery in the industry. In late January, an armed gang posing as cryptocurrency buyers stole about 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars ($450,000) from a woman in Hong Kong. While she was luckily unscathed during the incident, other victims of cryptocurrency-related attacks have suffered kidnap and torture, or been forced to escape in highly dangerous circumstances.

Polícia de PE indicia dez pessoas pelo primeiro sequestro com resgate em criptomoedas cometido no país - Jornal O Globo
RIO A Polícia Civil de Pernambuco indiciou dez pessoas pelo primeiro caso de sequestro no Brasil em que o pagamento do resgate foi pedido em criptomoedas. O alvo foi criteriosamente escolhido: um empresário do mercado financeiro que é sócio de um banco digital que negocia, entre outras moedas, o Bitcoin. O crime aconteceu em 10 de março, na capital pernambucana de Recife.

A escolha pelo sequestro de um empresário do ramo das criptomoedas também se conecta ao perfil dos sequestradores. O líder da quadrilha é um ex-estagiário da Caixa Econômica Federal e, também por isso, tem experiência no mercado financeiro. Para preservar a integridade da vítima, não foi divulgado o seu nome, assim como os dos sequestradores.
O crime foi cometido no bairro de Boa Viagem, na orla da capital pernambucana. A quadrilha se organizou nos arredores do edifício empresarial Excelsior, onde está localizada a sede de uma startup de investimentos que foi alvo da ação criminosa.

Eles pediram uma quantidade absurda de criptomoedas durante o sequestro e negociaram com os sócios da empresa e com os familiares do empresário afirma o delegado Paulo Berenguer, do Grupo de Operações Especiais de Pernambuco (GOE- DRACCO).
Para receber o pagamento em Bitcoins, a criptomoeda escolhida pelos sequestradores, foram disponibilizadas carteiras digitais falsas, de acordo com o delegado que conduziu as investigações.
Eles vendem as criptomoedas por um valor abaixo do mercado e começam a negociar dessa forma. Supondo que eles conseguiram o valor de um milhão de reais, por exemplo, eles venderiam por R$ 500 mil na darknet explica Berenguer.

O delegado acredita que este não foi o primeiro crime desse tipo praticado pelo grupo. Os investigadores tiveram acesso às redes sociais dos sequestradores e verificaram que eles tinham uma vida de ostentação. Após este último sequestro, os criminosos compraram quatro carros de luxo: um BWM 320i, uma Range Rover Evoque, um Toyota Corolla e um EcoSport.
De acordo com Berenguer, a família da vítima entrou em contato com a polícia somente após o pagamento do resgate. No entanto, o delegado sustenta que o valor será recuperado. O crime foi desvendado na última quinta-feira (27) a partir de rastros deixados pela quadrilha.
O grupo apresentou muitas falhas na execução do sequestro, todos os suspeitos foram identificados afirma Berenguer, ao destacar que o pagamento do aluguel foi feito via Pix, facilitando o rastreamento posterior. Assim também foi feito com a locadora de veículos utilizada pelos criminosos.

Com os dados do GPS do carro, os policiais conseguiram monitorar o trajeto feito pelos suspeitos e verificaram que eles estavam em um edifício no bairro de Boa Viagem. No prédio, os policiais descobriram que um grupo de criminosos veio de São Paulo para auxiliar no sequestro.
As investigações também encontraram provas de que funcionários da recepção do prédio receberam R$ 7 mil para facilitar a entrada dos sequestradores com a vítima. Um deles forneceu informações privilegiadas sobre o dia a dia e o veículo conduzido pelo empresário.
O que chamou a atenção da investigação foi a facilidade com que os sequestradores ingressaram no prédio empresarial. O subsolo é reservado para os condôminos, enquanto os mezaninos de cima são para estacionamento. Houve uma facilitação muito grande e a segunda fase da operação revelou que dois seguranças foram subornados, depois de vários encontros, para auxiliar nesta ação diz Berenguer.

Bitcoin-Raub in München: Täter erbeuten virtuelles Geld im Wert von knapp 100.000 Euro
1. April 2021
Bitcoin, Bitcoin gestohlen, Bitcoins, Dülferstraße, Raub
Ein 29-Jähriger aus Berlin wollte am Dienstag auf einem Parkplatz in München-Feldmoching einen Handel mit Bitcoins abwickeln. Als er den vermeintlichen Käufern auf dem Handy das Wallet mit einem hohen fünfstelligen Betrag durch das Vorzeigen nachweisen wollte, wurde ihm das Smartphone entrissen. Die vier Täter flohen daraufhin mit zwei Autos. Die Polizei konnte die Männer aus dem Landkreis Mühldorf stellen und verhaften.
Bereits am Dienstag, 16. März 2021, gegen 19 Uhr, hat sich ein 29-Jähriger aus Berlin auf einem Parkplatz in der Dülferstraße in München-Feldmoching mit zwei unbekannten Männern getroffen. Es ging um ein Bitcoin-Geschäft. Der Berliner entsperrte sein Smartphone und zeigte den Männern den Inhalt seiner elektronischen Geldbörse, dem sogenannten Wallet, in der ein Betrag im hohen fünfstelligen Bereich ausgewiesen war.
In diesem Moment wurde er von zwei anderen Männern angegriffen. Sie packten und umklammerten ihn und rissen ihm sein Mobiltelefon aus der Hand. Im Anschluss flohen die Täter mit zwei verschiedenen Fahrzeugen. Der 29-Jährige aus Berlin verständigte umgehend die Polizei und eines der beiden Fahrzeuges konnte im Rahmen der Fahndung gestellt werden. Darin saßen drei Tatverdächtige im Alter von 21 bis 29 Jahren aus dem Landkreis Mühldorf, die festgenommen wurden.
Das zweite Auto konnte nicht mehr ausfindig gemacht werden. Die Polizei nahm aber den vierten Tatverdächtigen, einen 30-Jährigen ebenfalls aus dem Landkreis Mühldorf, später nach weiteren Ermittlungs- und Fahndungsmaßnahmen in München fest.
Gegen drei der Bitcoin-Räuber erging Haftbefehl. Die Ermittlungen dieses virtuellen Geldraubes laufen beim Kommissariat 21.

На Запоріжжі майнер дав збройну відсіч грабіжникам
8 квітня о 20:40 до відділення поліції № 4 Пологівського районного управління ГУНП в Запорізькій області повідомили, що в Оріхові у дворі будинку по вулиці Івана Мазепи чутно постріли.
На місце події прибули правоохоронці.
Встановлено, що троє невідомих знаходячись у дворі місцевого мешканця 1990 року народження, розпорошили газовий балончик та намагалися заволодіти обладнанням для майнінгу «Bitcoin Antminer S9». Його вартість становить близько 40 тисяч гривень.
Проте, власник дав відсіч та здійснив кілька пострілів зі свого травматичного пістолета «Форт-12РМ» вгору та один постріл під ноги нападників. Після цього зловмисники розбіглися.
Працівники поліції одразу затримали двох чоловіків, а ще один втік на автомобілі «Жигулі». Однак введена в дію операція «Перехват» не залишила йому шансів для втечі.
Особовий склад поліції регіону швидко зорієнтували на розшук зловмисника, надали його прикмети та номерні знаки автомобіля. Невдовзі підозрюваного чоловіка встановили працівники групи реагування патрульної поліції в районі Оріхівського автовокзалу.
Як з'ясувалося пізніше, він змінив номерні знаки на автомобілі, залишив його в лісопосадці, а сам намагався поїхати автобусом.
Зараз відомо, що всі учасники правопорушення – мешканці Дніпропетровської області, 1991, 1992 та 1993 років народження. Вони затримані в порядку статті 208 Кримінального процесуального кодексу України.
За даним фактом відкрито кримінальне провадження за п. 2 ст. 15 (Замах на злочин), ч. 2 ст. 186 (Грабіж) Кримінального кодексу України. Вирішується питання повідомлення фігурантам про підозру та обрання запобіжного заходу у вигляді тримання під вартою.
Жаль, не сказали, какой род занятий майнера кроме майнинга. Депутат, судья, полицейский или журналист?
но все же странно - как это полиция не открыла дела против манера за ... хулиганство, покушение на умышленное убийство, нанесение средних телесных и т.п....
как это бывает обычно.
майнерам уже дают наградные травматы?

Mohammed Khubaib jailed over kidnapped teen ransom demand
A kidnapper who snatched a teenage boy from the street then demanded a ransom from his family has been jailed.
Mohammed Khubaib, 22, abducted the 14-year-old outside a Bradford takeaway in May and, with the help of others, bundled him into a car.
The boy's mother was blackmailed into paying £900 for his safe return, West Yorkshire Police said.
Khubaib earlier pleaded guilty to kidnap and blackmail and was jailed for four years at Bradford Crown Court.
Det Con Paul Maxwell said the boy was "vulnerable to criminal exploitation" and that Khubaib "tried to exploit him for money".
He added: "This was an incredibly distressing incident for both the victim and the victim's mother, but thankfully both were not injured during the incident and have been given help and support by the police and partner agencies."

A South Korean woman who met a man on a smartphone chat app, drugged him, and stole USD 87,000 in crypto from his phone has been sentenced to five years in prison.
Per Newsis, the Suwon District Court heard how a 20-year-old woman (named by the court as A) met a man via an app and then arranged to meet him on June 10, 2021. In the early hours of June 11, the duo went to a “love motel” in Gyeonggi Province. The man, who is in his 40s and was named by the court as B, had told A about the scale of his crypto holdings during their conversation on the chat app platform.
But the court heard that A then proceeded to lace Bs drink with sleeping pills, before using his phone to transfer tokens from a smartphone-based crypto wallet to her own wallet.
EDaily reported that the smartphone in question was protected with a fingerprint sensor but that A was able to press Bs finger against the sensor to unlock the device while he was unconscious.
When B regained consciousness, he confronted A, who then proceeded to threaten him with telling Bs family about the “sordid” nature of their encounter.
B proceeded to report the incident to the police but A attempted to confuse the police officers who questioned her by claiming that B had in fact raped her, and had given her the crypto in an attempt to silence her.
The court and presiding judge Hwang In-seong found A guilty of robbery, threatening behavior, and injury, as well as violations of the Drug Management Act. She was also found guilty of perverting the course of justice.
The judge stated that the sentence was justified due to the fact that the amount of crypto holdings stolen was high, and that A had attempted to sow the seeds of confusion in the ensuing police investigation.

Overvallers aan de haal met waardevolle cryptomunten
De 39-jarige bewoner van een appartement aan de Coopmansstraat in Leeuwarden werd op 24 juni 2021 zwaar mishandeld tijdens een overval. De drie daders zijn ruim een uur binnen geweest en maakten waardevolle cryptomunten buit.
Rond 20.40 uur die donderdag werd bij het slachtoffer aangebeld. Drie mannen in groene jacks deden zich voor als storingsmonteurs en vroegen of hij een storing had. Voor hij het wist werd hij bij zijn keel gegrepen en hardhandig de woonkamer in gesleurd, waar hij werd mishandeld. De bewoner moest onder bedreiging de code voor toegang tot zijn cryptomunten geven.
Ze hebben de code letterlijk uit me geslagen.”
Update: gewelddadige beroving eigenaar cryptomunten
De overvallers waren ervan op de hoogte dat de bewoner in het bezit was van cryptomunten. Hij heeft het er met een aantal mensen in zijn omgeving over gehad en mogelijk is die informatie via-via bij de daders terechtgekomen. De politie onderzoekt dit scenario nog.
Eén van de daders heeft een licht getinte huidskleur en is rond 35 jaar oud. Net als de andere twee mannen droeg hij die avond een groen jack.
Een paar minuten voor de overval reed een Volkswagen Polo over de Pasteurweg in Leeuwarden. Door het tijdstip en de rijrichting denkt de politie dat het mogelijk de daders waren die in deze auto reden.
Mocht de Polo niets met de overval te maken heeft, wil de politie graag met de inzittende(n) spreken, maar dan als belangrijke getuige(n).
Transacties van cryptomunten zijn openbaar. De politie kan dus precies zien waar de munten in de afgelopen maanden zijn geweest en waar ze op dit moment zijn.
Concreet heeft het rechercheteam een deel van de buit kunnen bevriezen, waardoor de criminelen er momenteel niets mee kunnen doen. De volgende stap is om die munten ook daadwerkelijk terug te krijgen bij het slachtoffer.
Wie zijn de daders van de woningoverval?
Wie reed of reden op donderdagavond 24 juni in de VW Polo?

A US man was drugged by a woman he met on Tinder who then attempted to steal his crypto.
The man, who was a client of Casa, a company that offers heightened Bitcoin security, reported the attempted robbery to the Casa team, who performed a postmortem on the incident.
Over the weekend, a CasaHODL client survived a wrench attack he was drugged and persuaded to give up access to phone, accounts, and passwords. With the clients permission, we are sharing the story to help others learn to protect themselves.

A blog post written by Casas Jameson Lopp details the strange and concerning attack. According to the victim, the woman claimed to be a crypto trader on her bio, which intrigued him and helped him establish common ground with her. After chatting online, they met up at a coffee shop. He thought she looked different from her photos, but not enough to raise any red flags.
Later, they went back to his place for a drink and while he was in the bathroom it is suspected the woman laced his drink with scopolamine, also known as Devils Breath, or a benzodiazepine. Both drugs cause loss of inhibition and memory. He woke up the next day, noticing that his phone was missing and that attempts had been made to withdraw crypto from several of his accounts.
Thankfully, the man was not harmed in any way and the perpetrator only managed to steal a small amount of his crypto, largely thanks to Casas multisig technology. The scammer managed to get a small amount of bitcoin out of one of his exchange accounts. He was able to block some of the other requested purchases and withdrawals by contacting those custodians to inform them of the compromise.
The attacker managed to get a small amount of bitcoin out of one of our clients exchange accounts. He was able to block some of the other requested purchases and withdrawals by contacting those custodians to inform them of the compromise. Since the attacker only had one of the clients five keys to his Casa multisig, those funds could not be spent.
Although this incident is bizarre, it is sadly not unprecedented. As the price of Bitcoin continues to rise, so too do the scams, particularly romance scams. According to Australian government website Scam Watch, there were 277 reports of romance scams in June alone, resulting in losses of A$5,857,472. Many of these incidents do not make the news though there have been some high-profile cases; Australian schoolteacher Melanie Kilgour was involved in a romance scam in 2020 that cost her an estimated $50,000 worth of bitcoin.
Crypto News Australia has put together an excellent guide on how to avoid Bitcoin scams, including a section on romance scams, which we strongly recommend you check out. Additionally, at the end of his postmortem, Lopp provides a list of useful strategies to help protect yourself and minimise the risk of becoming a victim of a romance scam.

REAVEALED: Identities Of Rogue Police Officers Who Extorted N22million Worth Of Bitcoin From Young Men At Gunpoint In Lagos
The duo said they were treated like criminals while Nwawe, a former Public Relations Officer of the Sokoto and Akwa-Ibom states police commands respectively asked the officers to kill them if they cannot pay N20million as bail.
A Deputy Superintendent of Police with force number 14534, Cordelia Nwawe, and Inspector Austin, both attached to Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex, Alagbon Close, Lagos State, have been identified as officers who extorted N22million worth of bitcoin from two young Nigerians, Morakinyo Tobiloba Peter and Yusuf Samson Dayo.
SaharaReporters had reported that Peter and Dayo, both realtors, were stopped on July 14, 2021 while driving along the Ikoyi/Ajah Expressway by a team of police officers in mufti led by Austin, who adopted a fictitious name “Osas”.
[story_link align="left"]102523[/story_link]
“We were driving on the Ikoyi/Ajah Expressway precisely at 1004 on the 14th of July 2021, when a team of police officers in mufty accosted us and ordered us to park. We parked and the police officers jumped into the car and ordered us to open our phones,” one of the victims had told SaharaReporters.
“Since we have nothing to hide, we gave them our phones and they found nothing incriminating. To our surprise, they ordered us to drive down to their office, we insisted we must know our offences before we can move down to the station. But the police officers descended on us and beat us for disobedience. They claimed we were too fresh not to be a fraudster. We begged them and showed them that we are realtors. We gave them our identity cards and showed them some of our ongoing projects but they insisted we were fraudsters.
“When we got to the police station at FCID Annex, Alagbon Close, Lagos, we were quickly pushed into the cell and they went away with our mobile phones. The police officers returned some hours later and told us we were trading in Bitcoins.
“Before we know it, they started beating us and calling us Yahoo boys, we told them we were not Yahoo boys. We explained that we are realtors and it was because of the decline in naira that we converted our money into bitcoin, but they kept beating us and they said we should write statement around 8:00pm in the night,” he added.
The duo added that the statements written by them were torn into pieces by the policemen while they were forced to sign another ones written by the officers alleging that they were Internet fraudsters.
“We wrote the statements and they tore it into pieces and wrote another statement for us and forced us to sign it. We did signed the statement and they took them before their boss, DSP Cordelia Nwawe with force number 145341, Admin section, FCID Annex, Alagbon Lagos,” they added.
“Mrs Uwawe asked her officers what happened and they narrated the whole story to her, they told her we are Yahoo boys which we denied and the woman said they should give us bail condition, they demanded N20million from us and when we said we don't have such amount of money, the woman said they should go and kill us if we insist we cannot pay them N20million as bail.
“Officer Austin who led the team also adopted a fictitious name so that people will not know his true name. He was addressed as Osas by DSP Uwawe, he was the one who took us to the cell and threatened to kill the two of us if we cannot transfer the N20million in bitcoin to them.
“So when he bought out his gun and was taking us out of the cell to kill us as ordered by her boss, DSP Uwanue, we now succumbed to him and said he should remove the money from our account, he insisted he wanted bitcoin and not naira, he provided another bitcoin account and he transferred N22million equivalent of bitcoin from our account.”
They urged human rights activists and the government to intervene on their behalf.
Speaking on the incident, a human rights lawyer, Adegbola Odunyemi asked the Inspector-General of Police to investigate the matter.
“I hereby call on well meaning Nigerians to prevail on the office of the Inspector-General of Police; Minister of Police Affairs; Chairman, Police Service Commission; Speaker, House of Representatives; the Senate President and His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, to help us recover this money from these criminal elements parading themselves as police officers.
“My clients are realtors and it was because of the decline in naira that made them to convert their money into bitcoin, they are not Yahoo boys.”

Bitcoin trader robbed of HK$3 million in cash when sellers in Hong Kong show up with knife
The 39-year-old trader from South Korea arrived for the exchange on Ashley Road in Tsim Sha Tsui
Armed gang snatches bag of cash he is carrying, cuts victims hand and then flees

A cryptocurrency trader was robbed of more than HK$3 million (US$128,500) in cash at knifepoint when he went to meet a bitcoin seller in Hong Kong on Wednesday afternoon.
The 39-year-old trader from South Korea arrived at Astoria Building on Ashley Road in Tsim Sha Tsui for the exchange at about 6.20pm. He was approached by four men, one of whom attacked him with the knife.
The criminals snatched a bag he was carrying with about HK$3.29 million inside and fled. The trader asked a friend to call police and officers searched the area but failed to locate the suspects.
The victim suffered a cut to his hand and was sent to hospital for treatment. Detectives from the Yau Tsim district crime squad are investigating.
Several robberies involving digital currency have taken place in Hong Kong this year. In June, a 22-year-old cryptocurrency trader was sprayed in his eyes with an unknown substance and robbed of HK$2 million while on his way to buy the digital money in Kwun Tong. Three men and a woman were later arrested.

In what some see as yet another cautionary tale, the recent tragic killing of teenage Brazilian crypto trader Wesley Pessano Santarem has been linked to the lavish lifestyle the victim had been showcasing on his social media accounts reminding crypto holders of the importance of safeguarding not only their funds, but their lives.
The 19-year-old has gained a significant following on Instagram, where he had amassed about 134,000 followers. He also ran an account on YouTube where he published videos in which he offered investment advice.
Pessano was gunned down in broad daylight. He was rolling in his Porsche Boxster sports car through the streets of Sao Pedro da Aldeia, a city in Brazils south-eastern state of Rio de Janeiro, to get a haircut, as reported by The Independent, when he was ambushed by a group of killers who travelled in a silver Volkswagen.
A second passenger who sat in his Porsche was injured in the shooting and later transported to a hospital. The Brazilian police said Passano was hit by a minimum of four bullets, one of which was a headshot. An investigation into the murder has been initiated.
Claiming to have secured financial freedom at the age of 18, Pessano often portrayed himself driving luxury cars, among others a Chevrolet Camaro and a Mercedes-Benz automobile. On one of the pictures, the trader was seen talking on the so-called money phone, pretending to be making a call from a thick stack of cash. This type of photos, as is argued, may have potentially attracted unwanted attention to Pessanos finances.
The latest violent event joins a worrying string of gruesome attacks on crypto traders that has been observed worldwide.

Assassinat à Plancher-Bas : l’étudiant tué pour 200 000 € de cryptomonnaie
Le corps dun jeune homme de 19 ans lardé dune vingtaine de coups de couteau a été découvert, en août dernier, dans un étang de Plancher-Bas, en Haute-Saône. Deux mois après lincarcération préventive de trois premiers suspects, un couple a été arrêté, mis en examen et écroué pour complicité dassassinat. Tous rêvaient de voler 200.000 € de cryptomonnaie appartenant à Simon Arthuis, leur victime, révèle le procureur de Besançon.

Cest une affaire effarante, tant par son extrême cruauté et que par sa nature bassement crapuleuse. Le procureur de la République de Besançon a détaillé ce vendredi les dessous de lenquête ouverte suite à la découverte dun corps supplicié, lardé dune vingtaine de coups de couteau, le 18 août dernier dans un étang de Plancher-Bas (Haute-Saône). Celui de Simon Arthuis, étudiant ingénieur en informatique sans histoire âgé de 19 ans, résidant à Tours.
Trois premiers hommes, lamant de la victime, un Montbéliardais âgé de 33 ans, et deux individus de 18 et 23 ans, avaient été rapidement placés en garde à vue, puis mis en examen pour assassinat. Une notion qui implique la préméditation du crime. « Ils admettent tous trois être impliqués dans la mort de ce jeune homme de 19 ans, même si personne ne reconnaît avoir donné les coups mortels », rappelle le procureur Étienne Manteaux. Le compagnon du défunt avait initialement tenté de brouiller les pistes, en narrant aux gendarmes le scénario dune agression de nature homophobe, dont lui seul aurait réchappé.
Un couple présumé complice, mais jusqu’à quel point ?
Le dossier, complexe, vient de prendre un nouveau tournant. Les limiers de la section de recherches (SR) de Besançon ont interpellé ce mercredi 20 octobre deux nouvelles personnes : le frère jumeau de lamant et sa compagne. Quel est le réel rôle joué par ce couple ? Les investigations à venir doivent encore lever le voile.
« Après avoir nié, eux aussi ont reconnu leur implication, tout en la minimisant. Ils admettent avoir été informés du projet avant la mort de la victime et ne pas lavoir dénoncé », indique le procureur. Tous deux ont été mis en examen pour complicité dassassinat et placés en détention provisoire.
200 000 euros de cryptomonnaie dans le viseur
Le mobile de ce terrible guet-apens est assumé : extorquer à ce jeune ingénieur de largent. « Il avait créé un logiciel pour boursicoter », précise le colonel de gendarmerie Yves Raguin, générant sur son compte « environ 200 000 € de différentes cryptomonnaies, dont du Bitcoin ».
Les cinq suspects, dune condition sociale très modeste, admettent lavoir piégé pour le voler. « Mais dès quon rentre dans le détail, leurs versions divergent », constate le procureur.
Selon Étienne Manteaux, lautopsie révèle quelques pistes macabres : « Les très nombreux coups constatés entre le sternum et le bas de la face peuvent attester dune séance de torture ou dun geste passionnel. On sait aussi quaucun de ces coups n’était mortel en lui-même, et que la victime était agonisante quand elle a été jetée dans l’étang ».
Autre élément à charge pour le couple récemment incarcéré : la victime avait de son plein gré déjeuner le 18 août midi à leur domicile, à Plancher-les-Mines. Où elle aurait été droguée, selon les trois premiers suspects. « Des analyses toxicologiques sont en cours pour le confirmer », prolonge le procureur. La femme mise en cause devra aussi sexpliquer sur louverture dun compte Boursorama à son nom… Quelques jours avant lassassinat du jeune détenteur de cryptomonnaie.

Crypto heist: Raiders steal safe containing $4m in cryptocurrency from Westmere home - NZ Herald
Advertise with NZME.
Raiders stole a safe containing $4 million in cryptocurrency in what appears to be a sophisticated "inside job" targeting a wealthy businessman's home, the Weekend Herald can reveal.
Mark Geor, who manages Rock and Rubble, a quarry transporting service, said his family home in the affluent Auckland suburb of Westmere
was burgled while it was being renovated - and the thieves took an extraordinary haul.
In his only interview, Geor described the burglary as "fishy".
"We have lived there since 2017 and never had an issue. This burglary was executed with surgical precision," he said.
"Someone has done their homework; they knew exactly where the security cameras are and where the safe was. They won't have any idea of what's inside the safe. If they are able to crack it open, I think they will take out what they can sell," Geor said.
In early August, while their home was being renovated, Geor, 33, his wife Clare,32, and their two young sons moved to Takapuna.
On September 9, when Geor went to the Westmere house to collect the mail, he noticed a builder's wheelbarrow with a pillow on it. He had a "hunch" and felt something wasn't right.
He discovered the house had been broken into. Burglars had entered through a side door, where there were no security cameras.
"When I realised the front door and side doors were unlocked, I thought, 'S***, this isn't good,'" Geor said. "They turned off the power and disarmed my alarm and back-up battery. The electrical switchboard, control box for the alarm was in the same room as the safe. If you set the alarm there is a wee delay before it goes off, it looks like they were able to shut it off pretty quickly, so they knew what they were doing."
All that was left behind was a small crowbar, an electrician's screwdriver and glove prints. Forensic experts were unable to obtain fingerprints or footprints because of the concrete floors.
Police confirmed they had received reports of a burglary at an address in Westmere, but said: "Police made inquiries into this which included reviewing vehicles which had been in the area. However, as there are no active lines of inquiry the matter has been filed pending any further information."
Geor says he is a "realist" and isn't hopeful he'll get the safe back. But he is offering a substantial reward in exchange for its return with the cryptocurrency and other valuables, including $10,000 in cash, Rolex and Tag Hauer watches, diamond jewellery and family heirlooms.
"They won't have any idea of what's inside the safe. If they are able to crack it open, I think they will take out what they can sell. The cryptocurrency is on a USB stick among other USB sticks of family and wedding photos and wills ... If they find it they might think that's just paper and biff it or they could take it to people who do know about cryptocurrency. I am worried they now know more than they set out to know," Geor said.
Although there is no evidence the safe has been cracked open or funds have been withdrawn, Geor can't claim insurance for the cryptocurrency he has lost.
"Unfortunately, there is no such thing as insurance."
Cryptocurrencies have enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past year with almost one in five people planning to or having invested, according to a Financial Services Council survey in June.
But because the currencies are decentralised they are also difficult to trace, making them attractive for use by criminals. The hackers who demanded a ransom from the Waikato District Health Board after a huge cyber attack this year wanted to be paid in cryptocurrency.
The rise of cryptocurrencies had also given way to the emergence of various scams that use the asset to lure people into them.
In July, MPs announced they would hold an inquiry into risks to users, the monetary system, and the environment. It will look at how such currencies are created and traded, their use and misuse, and the implications they might have for the tax system and regulators.
Geor said the burglars weren't in a rush and also took his wife's costume jewellery and handwritten letters from her grandmother, and rummaged through her underwear drawer.
"I think the worse thing is the total violation of our privacy. Clare now feels unsettled about staying in this house."
Mike Campbell, a private investigator and friend of the Geor family, believes the burglary happened between 8.30pm and midnight.
He says CCTV footage from a neighbour's security cameras revealed possible suspects driving a white Subaru Legacy wagon and a 2005 Toyota ute with a hood on the back between 9pm and 9.30pm.
One neighbour told Campbell he noticed a car that seemed to be sussing out the neighbourhood, two days before the burglary.
"The safe was bolted to the concrete floor and weighs about 160 kilos so you'd need a big strong person to cut it away and shift it out of the cupboard in the stairwell," Campbell said.
"They had to drag it across the room and put it in a wheelbarrow to take it to the front of the house and have a vehicle big enough for the safe."
Campbell also believes the burglary was an "inside job".
It is the first cryptocurrency theft he has been involved in the 40 years he's been a private investigator, he said.
"Whoever went there obviously knew there was a camera in the front of the house. They found the switchboard, had sufficient ability to disconnect the power so that's not coincidental, that involves knowledge.
"We are relying on someone honest among the tradesmen to nominate a suspect. It could be someone on site who has told someone else who is a crook - that's how these things usually go."
Campbell is interested to hear from locksmiths and engineering companies around Auckland.
"We are concerned the crooks have got the safe and will bulls*** a locksmith to prise it open or talk to people with the ability to open it. Or it could be in a storage unit to let the heat settle. If they are dumb arses who have tried to prise the safe door open with a couple of small screwdrivers that could indicate their mentality.
"A plate was found at the scene that was prised off the safe door. That suggests to me they weren't the most experienced or brightest of offenders if they thought they could get into it that way," Campbell said.
He is urging the public to call 0800 384 4227 with information.
"We need the safe back and information that leads to the offenders being arrested. The loss to Mark involves millions of dollars, so you can imagine the value of information that results in the recovery, will be very, very considerable."
Geor said his message to the raiders is: "GIVE IT BACK."
"I am gutted, I feel f***ing robbed. Truly, despite the money, I feel stupid for having all my possessions in there. There is nothing fair or reasonable about this, I just want my stuff.
"I am offering a reward because there is a lot of money involved and also for the sentimental things," Geor added. "I have a few things of my younger sister who died in 2011 and I can't ever replace those things."
A police spokesperson said while police didn't have data "immediately available" about construction thefts, "anecdotally we believe there has been an increase in Auckland City district around burglaries at construction sites".
"This is because opportunistic thieves would take the opportunity to target these sites knowing that they will be empty under alert level 4. We encourage tradies to ensure they have their tools secured and if possible CCTV cameras as this will reduce the likelihood of becoming a target of this type of crime."

Man Shot Dead in Hail of Gunfire Over Crypto Mining Rigs, Police Say
Get unlimited access to everything VICE has to offer.
On October 20, a man opened fire on people attempting to steal his cryptocurrency mining equipment in the Abkhazia region bordering Russia. According to police, the man killed one of his own friends while fending off the attackers and is now in custody.
Abkhazia is a disputed territory along the Black Sea where officials have been fighting cryptocurrency miners for years. Electricity in the country is ten times cheaper than in neighboring Georgia and miners have flooded the area and stressed the power grid, leading to rolling blackouts. The problem is so bad that Abkhazia has estimated there is one crypto-mining facility for every 400 residents. Abkhazia briefly legalized mining, but then outlawed it again this year and began to seize and destroy the machines.
Authorities in Abkhazia have just started the investigation of the cryptocurrency shooting but early reports indicated it was a robbery gone wrong. According to a statement from the General Prosecutors Office of Abkhazia, a group of men running a cryptocurrency mining operation in the village of Aatsy tried to stop the theft of their machines by at least five men using Kalashnikov rifles and Makarov pistols. Amid the gunfire, police say that one of the men killed his friend.
“When stopping the theft of equipment for the extraction of cryptocurrency by at least five persons, they opened fire from the available firearms, as a result of which Pachial R.G., realizing the social danger of his actions when firing shots from close range, comitted the murder of A.B. Ardzibna,” the statement said, according to Google translate.
According to Echo of the Caucasus, there are conflicting reports about what actually happened during the shooting. The official statement is worded strangely and friends and family of the deceased are keeping quiet so as not to disrupt the investigation, though the outlet notes that it appears indisputable that the shooting occurred around and because of a Bitcoin mine.
“Astamur Ardzinba was killed. A friend, a classmate of my eldest son. A well-mannered young man whom I loved in a fatherly way. I have been broken since yesterday,” Abkhazia blogger David Dasnia said on his Facebook page, Echo of the Caucasus reported. “I cry like a child from impotence. Only one thought comes to my mind: what about his father? May his murderers be cursed forever and ever! When will total order be restored in Abkhazia?”

Gang assaults founder of social network Tuenti in his Madrid home in apparent attempt to steal bitcoin fortune | U.S. | EL PAÍS EnglishSkip to content
Madrid - Nov 03, 2021 - 10:56Updated Nov 03, 2021 - 12:36CET
A group of hooded assailants on Tuesday entered the Madrid home of the founder of social network Tuenti, Zaryn Dentzel, in an apparent bid to steal his bitcoin fortune. Thats according to the American entrepreneur himself, who reported the incident to police after they were called to his apartment. As was first reported by online Spanish daily El Español and later confirmed to EL PAÍS by police sources, Dentzel was left with a cut to his chest and was beaten by the criminal gang in a bid to obtain the passwords of his bank accounts and electronic wallets. The Tuenti founder is yet to file a formal report at a police station.
Dentzel, 38, made Spain his home in the mid-2000s, when he decided to create a social network in Spain for young people called Tuenti, after having spent time as a student in the Extremadura region learning Spanish during his university years. His social network ended up counting on millions of users and was acquired by Spanish telecoms giant Telefónica in 2010 for €70 million. He stayed at the helm of the company after the sale. In 2016 the social network itself was closed and Tuenti remained as a telecommunications operator.
According to the account recorded by police officers based on the victims testimony, he was in his home on Tuesday with a maintenance technician when the doorbell rang. He opened it to find “four or five” hooded men who covered up the security cameras with items of clothing as soon as they entered the property. They also covered his eyes and began to beat him, according to his account.
The incident began at around 3pm and lasted for several hours, according to Dentzel. After the assault, the gang left the house. Police were called by a neighbor who had heard shouts. Dentzel told officers that he had heard them take items with them but that he was unable at that moment to determine how many were missing or their value. The officers confirmed that the entrepreneur was left with a small wound on his chest.
The National Police in Madrid have taken charge of the investigation, which is ongoing and has so far not seen any arrests. The officers who were in the house took samples as well as statements and images that will allow for the facts of the case to be established.
The Tuenti founder divides his time between the Californian city of Santa Bárbara in the United States, and Madrid. He returned to Spain just a few weeks ago after spending a period in his home country. The property where the incident took place is located in Ruiz de Alarcón street, and is a penthouse apartment next to the Prado Museum with impressive views of Retiro Park.
The entrepreneur has been investing in bitcoin for several years and his fortune in this virtual currency could be worth millions of euros. As such, his accounts are likely to be protected with more levels of security than just a password.

Hong Kong police rescue cryptocurrency trader kidnapped by triad gang who demanded HK$30 million ransom
The victim, 39, was lured into Kowloon Bay industrial unit on November 6 to carry out cryptocurrency transaction
He refused to arrange payment of HK$30 million ransom and officers rescued him six days later, while manhunt is under way for at least eight others
Published: 6:32pm, 14 Nov 2021Updated: 11:27pm, 14 Nov 2021
Police have made a dramatic rescue of a cryptocurrency trader who was kidnapped by suspected triad members and held at a house in northern Hong Kong for nearly a week as his captors tried to extract a HK$30 million (US$3.85 million) ransom from his family.
Police raided the residence in the New Territories after being contacted by the family, and just as officers were swooping on the location, the trader managed to climb out a window and drop to the ground, the force revealed on Sunday.
But the kidnappers had beaten the victim, 39, with hammers in their unsuccessful attempt to force the ransom payment and he suffered leg fractures requiring hospital treatment, a source told the Post.
Officers arrested seven people and were hunting for about eight others, believed to be members of a Sun Yee On triad faction, including the suspected division boss.
Authorities were investigating whether any money was stolen from the man as he was forced to reveal the passwords for his bank and cryptocurrency accounts, acting Senior Superintendent Alan Chung of the Kowloon West regional crime unit said. According to the source, the digital currency holdings were worth more than HK$20 million.

L.A. deputy was 'crooked cop' on crypto mogul's payroll, feds say - Los Angeles Times
A thief and a crooked cop: L.A. deputy committed crimes for crypto mogul, feds say
See more from the L.A. Times in Google Search. Set us as preferred
Eric Chase Saavedra, an active L.A. County deputy and former federal task force officer, agreed this week to plead guilty to conspiracy and tax crimes.
Saavedra carried out the criminal bidding of Adam Iza, a crypto mogul known as The Godfather, including obtaining false search warrants on his behalf.
Iza, 24, has also agreed to plead guilty to federal charges, including wire fraud.
A longtime detective in the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Departments anti-gang unit has admitted to violating the civil rights of multiple victims through intimidation, illegal search warrants and other abuses of power, according to plea agreements filed this week.
Eric Chase Saavedra, an L.A. County deputy and former federal task force officer, agreed this week to plead guilty to conspiracy and tax crimes tied to his role in carrying out the criminal bidding of Adam Iza, a crypto mogul known as “The Godfather,” officials said. Saavedra faces up to 13 years in prison.
Iza, 24, has agreed to plead guilty to similar charges, in addition to wire fraud. He faces up to 35 years in prison, though the plea deal is likely to lighten his sentence. Iza has been in custody since September and last month was transported to Las Vegas for surgery to remove rods from a leg-lengthening surgery that prosecutors say he paid for with money hidden from tax collectors.
As far back as 2021, Iza paid Saavedras private security company — a business he ran on the side in addition to working as a deputy — $100,000 per month for round-the-clock bodyguards, court filings say. The hired muscle protected Iza and sometimes committed crimes for him, according to Saavedras plea agreement. For each 12-hour shift, Saavedra admitted, he picked two from a roster of 20 to 25 active deputies, paying them $750 cash. Even though it wasnt official department work, some of the deputies often carried firearms and flashed their LASD badges, according to the agreement.
Saavedra, 41, also admitted to illegally using his department credentials to access sensitive law enforcement databases and obtain personal identifiable information about people Iza had personal or business disputes with, as well as their associates and family members.
In one case, Saavedra created a fake search warrant that he used to intimidate someone, according to the agreement. In another, the deputy admitted, he misled a narcotics detective, resulting in a drug raid on the home of a man Iza had previously extorted. In a third case, Saavedra said he lied to get a warrant, falsely claiming he needed to track a mans cellphone as part of a firearms investigation.
After he got the warrant and discovered the victims location, he gave that information to Iza — and later three people with guns tried to break into the mans home.
“Mr. Izas and Mr. Saavedras relationship was little more than a thuggish partnership between a thief and a crooked cop,” said IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge Tyler Hatcher. “The public should be able to trust members of law enforcement, but Mr. Saavedra violated his oath for a payday.”
Both Iza and Saavedras plea agreements describe an array of criminal acts involving Saavedra and other unnamed sheriffs deputies, who allegedly harassed and threatened people to further Izas criminal aims. So far, at least six deputies have been relieved of duty in connection with the case, as The Times reported last year. The Sheriffs Department confirmed Friday afternoon that Saavedra was among them, saying hed been relieved of duty as of Sept. 23.
“This deplorable behavior is a direct violation of Department standards, betrays public trust, and tarnishes the reputation of all deputies and the entire Department,” the Sheriffs Department said in a statement. “Those who misuse their badge to exploit their power for personal gain through illegal activities have no place in law enforcement and must be held accountable. They have no place in the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department.”
Crypto godfather of Bel-Air: Probe widens into L.A. deputies alleged links to mogul
At least six L.A. County sheriffs deputies have been relieved of duty amid an investigation into their work for a 24-year-old cryptocurrency entrepreneur accused of extortion and hiding millions of dollars from tax collectors.
In a statement, Izas attorney, Josef Sadat, referred to his client as “one of the smartest individuals I have ever met.”
“Hopefully, others involved in this, whose actions were more morally reprehensible than that of Mr. Iza given their comparative age and societal positions, will follow his path sooner than later since truth leads to redemption,” Sadat said.
Brian Gurwitz, the attorney representing Saavedra, offered a short response early Friday.
“Mr. Saavedra recognizes the breach of trust his actions represent and deeply regrets the harm they have caused to the community he dedicated decades to serving,” Gurwitz said. “To respect the Department of Justices ongoing investigation, he will not make further public comments at this time.”
Saavedra said in his plea that he first learned of Iza around August 2021, through fellow deputies who had recently worked security for the crypto mogul at his Bel-Air mansion. That same month, Iza hired Saavedras company to provide security services.
The deputy had a lengthy history in the department and in 2018 got a tattoo on his left ankle of the unofficial logo of the Lakewood sheriffs station, which was a spade with the number 13 inside of it, according to his plea agreement.
Saavedra admitted to recruiting around 20 to 25 deputies and others to accompany Iza 24/7. At times, Saavedra worked the shifts himself.
According to his plea agreement, Saavedra regularly used his LASD credentials to access confidential databases to get information for Iza. Sometimes, he had fellow deputies working for his company do the same.
Saavedra said he and the other deputies gave the crypto mogul personal information relating to several people, including three victims — identified in the agreement as R.C., E.Z. and D.D. — with whom Iza had disputes.
One of the earliest incidents prosecutors described in court filings last year took place during an August 2021 party at Izas Bel-Air mansion. Iza wasnt happy with the party and wanted the party planner — R.C. — to reimburse him for half the cost, prosecutors said.
Last year, prosecutors alleged in an indictment that two of Izas bodyguards held R.C. at gunpoint and forced him to transfer back $25,000 hed been paid for his services.
In this weeks plea agreement, Saavedra admitted he knew the bodyguards — both of whom are deputies — had held someone at gunpoint. One of Izas associates claimed R.C. was a major fentanyl and cocaine dealer, leading Saavedra to pass the information along to a narcotics detectives, according to the court filings.
Soon after, the narcotics detective told Saavedra that they had obtained a warrant but did not find any illegal drugs in R.C.s home, according to Saavedras agreement.
Iza also admitted that in October 2022, sheriffs deputies in his employ illegally detained yet another victim — identified by the initials L.A. According to his plea, Iza held the victim at gunpoint and forced him to transfer $127,000 into a bank account he controlled.
In late 2021, Saavedra said he learned of a dispute between Iza and E.Z. regarding a laptop believed to hold more than $100 million in cryptocurrency. Through court records and interviews, The Times was able to identify E.Z. as Enzo Zelocchi, a self-described “actor, producer and innovator.”
Iza told Saavedra the laptop was stolen and that he wanted it so he could access and convert the cryptocurrency, court filings show. In a previous interview with The Times, Zelocchi said the laptop belonged to him.
Iza later told Saavedra that he thought Zelocchis associate, D.D., might have the laptop. In December 2021, Saavedra, Iza and two others — including another deputy — went to D.D.s Orange County home to confront him, according to Saavedras agreement, but D.D. refused to open the door and spoke to them through a window.
Saavedra admitted in his plea agreement that he identified himself as law enforcement, showed his badge and told D.D. that a stolen laptop was pinging in his home. D.D. denied having a stolen laptop and after police arrived, the group departed.
Iza later told Saavedra hed hired a private investigator and was spending large sums of money to locate Zelocchi and the laptop with no success, according to Saavedras agreement. Iza said he was frustrated by the private investigators lack of progress, prompting Saavedra to offer a solution: a search warrant for GPS location information associated with Zelocchis phone.
Deputies warned to decontaminate clothes after lead, asbestos found in air near Eaton fire
On Wednesday, a sheriffs official warned deputies about “hazardous” airborne contaminants near the Eaton fire.
Saavedra admitted that in January 2022, he applied for and obtained a search warrant for several phone numbers, including Zelocchis. According to his plea agreement, Saavedra lied in a sworn affidavit, stating that Zelocchis number was tied to a suspect in a firearms investigation.
After getting the illegally-obtained warrant, court records show Saavedra began receiving pings for Zelocchis phone, identifying the approximate location. Soon after, Saavedra admitted to traveling to an L.A. neighborhood where the phone was pinging and spotting Zelocchi outside a residence in an apartment complex.
According to court filings, Saavedra told Iza that he had found Zelocchi and the two surveilled the apartment complex and residence.
Iza admitted that he gave orders that led three people to try to force open the door of Zelocchis residence, but the effort failed when Zelocchi fired in their direction and they fled.
In 2022, Iza told Saavedra that one of his business associates — identified in court records as Client 1 — had been involved in stealing large amounts of cryptocurrency, and was interested in hiring private security. According to Saavedras plea agreement, Iza told Saavedra he could get the clients business if Client 1 thought there was something to worry about.
To do that, Iza allegedly suggested scaring Client 1 with a made-up investigation. So Saavedra created a fake search warrant, using the official Sheriffs Department template to make it look legitimate.
After writing up the false document, which mentioned cryptocurrency and digital services, Saavedra arranged to have another deputy share it with Iza, who showed it to the potential client, court filings say.
Altadena had soul, solitude and community. Can those qualities survive devastating firestorm?
The Eaton fire cut a brutal swath through Altadena and a cherished way of life in this eclectic foothill community it upended.
Not long afterward, Client 1 hired Saavedras company for security.
Saavedra and his company provided services to Iza from August 2021 until around March 2022, when Iza left for Dubai, according to the plea agreement. When Iza returned to L.A. in July 2024, those services resumed until Izas arrest in September.
Iza also admitted in his plea to stealing more than $37 million by fraudulently gaining access to Meta Platforms Inc. business manager accounts and their associated lines of credit from 2020 to 2022.
Both Iza and Saavedra also admitted to federal tax crimes. Iza avoided the assessment of nearly $7 million in federal income tax due for 2021. Saavedra received approximately $373,146 in unreported income and subscribed to a false tax return for 2021.
As part of his plea agreement, Saavedra said he would pay restitution to his victims, and pay his back taxes with interest. He also agreed to forfeit dozens of designer bags and shoes as well as a money counting machine, all of which prosecutors said were either ill-gotten gains or goods used to further criminal activity.
From the steps of the federal courthouse, U.S. Atty. E. Martin Estrada addressed reporters on Friday morning — his last day in office. He referred to Iza as a “massive cyber fraudster” who used deputies as his “enforcers,” and said that he and Saavedra both “profited handsomely from their criminal scheme.”

Bule Rampok Uang dan Bitcoin WN Italia di Bali Senilai Total Rp5,8 M
Petugas Polresta Denpasar, Bali, berhasil menangkap dua Warga Negara Asing (WNA) bernama Nicola asal Italia dan Gregory asal Inggris karena melakukan pencurian dan kekerasan (curas).
Mereka melakukan perampokan kepada warga asing yang merupakan suami-istri asal Italia bernama Camilla Guadagnuolo dan Principe Nerini.
"Untuk kerugian selain uang tunai ada bitcoin. Jadi totalnya kerugiannya Rp 5,8 miliar," kata Kapolresta Denpasar Kombes Pol Jansen Avitus Panjaitan di Mapolresta Denpasar, Bali, Selasa (28/12).
Selain Nicola dan Gregory, polisi memasukkan dua nama WNA lainnya ke dalam Daftar Pencarian Orang (DPO) yang terlibat aksi curas tersebut yakni WN Polandia dan WN Rusia.

Jansen menerangkan peristiwa itu terjadi pada Kamis (11/12) lalu, sekitar pukul 03:00 Wita, di sebuah villa tempat menginap korban, di Jalan Nakula, Seminyak, Kecamatan Kuta, Kabupaten Badung, Bali.
Saat itu, istri korban terbangun karena mendengar suara ledakan dan saat terbangun korban sudah melihat suaminya disekap di kamar korban oleh para pelaku yang menggunakan pakaian serba hitam serta menggunakan sarung tangan dan penutup kepala.
Kemudian, korban ditodong menggunakan pisau lalu diikat di tangan dan kakinya serta dilakban mulut dan kakinya. Selama penyekapan korban dipukul para pelaku secara bergantian dengan bertubi-tubi.
Lalu, salah satu pelaku mengambil enam ponsel korban dan satu ponsel lainnya yang berisi akun bitcoin korban dengan meminta password kepada korban.
"Dan apabila tidak diberitahu, maka pelaku akan membunuh istri korban dengan menempelkan pisau di leher istri korban. Dan selanjutnya korban memberi tahu password handphone tersebut," katanya.

Dalam penyekapan yang dilakukan empat orang itu, korban mengetahui dua pelaku yaitu Nicola dan Gregory dari suaranya. Jansen mengatakan identitas pelaku dikenalinya karena Nicola merupakan mantan karyawan korban. Sementara, Gregory dikenali korban karena sempat mengikuti acara pesta di villa yang ditempati Nicola.
Setelah empat korban berhasil kabur, selanjutnya korban melaksanakan pengecekan terhadap akun bincance miliknya. Dan, diketahui ada perpindahan aset digital ke sebuah akun wallet exodus yang diduga milik pelaku Nicola yang dilakukan sebanyak tiga kali dengan total Rp5,8 miliar.
"Atas kejadian tersebut, kemudian korban melaporkannya ke Polsek Kuta. Modusnya, mereka berkelompok masuk ke rumah tersebut mengancam dan melakukan kekerasan terhadap korban dan mengambil uangnya," ujar Jansen.
Dari laporan tersebut, polisi pun segera melakukan penyelidikan dan pemeriksaan CCTV hingga saksi di sekitar TKP.
Kemudian, pihak kepolisian berhasil menangkap pelaku Nicola di Jalan Raya Kerobokan, Badung, Bali, dan lalu menangkap pelaku Gregory yang tinggal bersama pacarnya di Jalan Setiabudi, Kuta, Bali.
Dari hasil pemeriksaan, Nicola mengaku melakukan aksi pencurian itu dengan Gregory dan Matt dan satu teman Matt yang belum dia kenal.
Kemudian, setelah melakukan aksinya Nicola dan Gregory kembali bertemu Matt bersama satu orang temannya yang tidak dikenal di satu tempat yang tidak diketahui. Kemudian Nicola mengambil salah satu walet yang berisi uang sebesar Rp 5,8 miliar yang merupakan uang digital bitcoin hasil pencurian milik korban dan satu walet berisi satu saldo lebih kecil untuk diserahkan kepada Matt dan temannya.
"Untuk motifnya memang tujuannya untuk mengambil harta dari korbannya. Untuk dua rekannya masih DPO satu dari Polandia dan satu lagi dari Rusia," ujar Jansen.

Vincent Everts during a previous interview
The robbery took place around 5:20 PM. It is seen that Everts stands up and says to one of the robbers, "I don't have any Bitcoin at all." "I'm in the broadcast and someone is walking here with a...", he says afterward. The screen then goes black.
Gun
After a few minutes, Everts returns. "I was just talking to you, three young men came in, they removed all the cameras, they held a gun to my head and said, 'Bitcoin, Bitcoin'. And they were let in because they pretended to have a package."
Everts reports that they also threatened his children. "At one point, I got so angry that I said, shoot if you want to, and at one point, I was clearly not planning to cooperate.... then they ran away. We called 112 and the police are coming now."
Descriptions
The police have already spread the descriptions of the perpetrators via Burgernet. They are men aged 17 to 19, one of whom was wearing a DHL jacket. The three had face masks on. Anyone who sees them is asked to call 112.
Several police cars are now at the residence. Everts calls the robbery in the live stream too bizarre for words. "It's really frightening. I've heard before that robberies are committed because of Bitcoins, but it's really nonsense, as if you want to rob a bank account."
In the past year, more well-known Dutch people in the city have been robbed. Mayor Halsema called this concerning at the beginning of December during a meeting. She further stated that there is often a relationship with "displaying luxury goods on social media" and advised to be mindful of this. "Because people with ill intentions might find a motive in that."
A police spokesperson reports that the perpetrators of the robbery are no longer found in the area and that further investigation is ongoing. A report is also being filed.

Trendwatcher Vincent Everts tijdens livestream in eigen woning overvallen - AT5
Trendwatcher Vincent Everts is aan het begin van de avond het slachtoffer geworden van een gewapende overval. Dat gebeurde in zijn eigen woning in Nieuw-West, terwijl hij te zien was in een livestream over de coronacrisis met Maurice de Hond.
Vincent Everts tijdens een eerder interview
De overval vond rond 17.20 uur plaats. Te zien is dat Everts op staat en tegen een van de overvallers "ik heb helemaal geen Bitcoin" zegt. "Ik ben in de uitzending en er loopt hier iemand met een...", zegt hij daarna. Vervolgens gaat het beeld op zwart.
Na een aantal minuten komt Everts terug. "Ik zat gewoon met jullie te praten, drie jongens kwamen binnen, die trokken allemaal camera's weg, die hielden een pistool op mijn hoofd en zeiden, 'Bitcoin, Bitcoin'. En ze waren binnengelaten omdat ze net deden alsof ze een pakketje hadden."
Everts vertelt dat ze ook zijn kinderen hebben bedreigd. "Op een gegeven moment werd ik zo pissig dat ik zei, schiet maar als je dat wil, en op een gegeven moment, ik was duidelijk niet van plan om mee te werken.... toen zijn ze weggerend. We hebben 112 gebeld en de politie komt nu."
De politie heeft de signalementen van de daders inmiddels via Burgernet verspreid. Het gaat om mannen van 17 tot 19 jaar oud, waarvan één een DHL-jas droeg. De drie hadden mondkapjes op. Wie ze ziet, wordt gevraagd 112 te bellen.
Bij de woning staan inmiddels meerdere politiewagens. Everts noemt de overval in de livestream te bizar voor woorden. "Het is echt angstaanjagend. Ik heb wel eens vaker gehoord dat er overvallen worden gepleegd vanwege Bitcoins, maar het is echt onzin, net alsof je een bankrekening wil overvallen."
Het afgelopen jaar zijn er meer bekende Nederlanders in de stad overvallen. Burgemeester Halsema noemde dat begin december tijdens een vergadering zorgelijk. Ze zei verder dat er vaak een relatie bestaat met het "tentoonstellen van luxegoederen op social media" en gaf als advies om daarop te letten. "Omdat mensen die kwaad in de zin hebben daar misschien een motief in kunnen vinden."
Een woordvoerder van de politie laat weten dat de daders van de overval niet meer in de omgeving aangetroffen zijn en dat er nog onderzoek wordt gedaan. Ook wordt er nog aangifte gedaan.
Everts laat via Twiter weten 'nu ok' te zijn.
Even een bericht omdat ik tijdens een live uitzending Metn @mauricedehond met 2000 kijkers werd overvallen .
Wij zijn nu ok.
Er kwamen 3 jongens van 20 of jonger binnen waarvan 1 met DHL shirt die een pakketje stimuleerde af te geven.

Thieves use truck to smash into business & steal ATM, police say
Memphis police released video of thieves who used a truck to smash the front doors of a gas station convenience store and haul away an ATM.
The theft happened Sunday at the Mobil Gas Station on Macon Road near Sycamore View.
MPD said officers were dispatched to an alarm call at the business. When they got to the location, officers saw that the front doors were smashed and the bitcoin ATM had been taken.
Surveillance video shows two people watching as a grey 2004-2008 Ford F-150 backs into the store's front doors. One suspect goes into the business while another lowers the truck's tailgate. A third suspect gets out of the truck, and all three can be seen carrying the ATM out of the store and putting it in the truck bed.
Investigators need your help in identifying the individuals responsible.
Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers at 528-CASH.

"Il est venu à mon domicile avec une arme..." : un influenceur spécialisé en cryptomonnaie raconte son agression
par La rédaction de TF1 (nouvelle fenêtre) | Reportage : Elsa ASSALIT et Léa MERLIER
Les ravisseurs ciblent désormais les influenceurs et ceux qui ont fait fortune dans les cryptomonnaies.
Une fois le mot de passe du compte récupéré, l'argent virtuel est moins protégé que la monnaie réelle.
Owen Simonin raconte au JT de TF1 comment l'un de ses abonnés s'en est pris à lui.
Les tentatives d'enlèvement se multiplient dans le monde des cryptomonnaies

L'enlèvement contre rançon du chef d'entreprise David Balland s'inscrit dans un nouveau contexte. Désormais, les malfaiteurs s'en prennent aux influenceurs et à ceux qui ont fait fortune dans les cryptomonnaies. C'est arrivé il y a deux ans à Owen Simonin, un influenceur spécialisé en cryptomonnaie suivi par des centaines de milliers de personnes sur les réseaux sociaux. Celui-ci raconte son agression aux équipes du JT dans la vidéo visible ci-dessus : "Un jour, un de mes abonnés, quelqu'un qui me suivait sur Internet, a tout simplement réussi à obtenir l'adresse de mon domicile de l'époque. Et cet abonné m'a tout simplement suivi pendant quelques jours afin de prendre la décision de venir dans mon domicile avec une arme. Et à ce moment-là, a tout simplement essayé de m'extorquer des cryptomonnaies."
Le jeune homme réussit à repousser son agresseur, qui finira par se rendre à la police quelques jours plus tard. Mais l'expérience traumatisante l'a poussé à déménager et à renforcer sa sécurité sur internet. "Les gens ont compris que la cryptomonnaie, c'est comme de l'argent, ça a de la valeur", nous explique l'influenceur.
Noyer les transactions de sorte que l'adresse du ravisseur ou de l'organisation criminelle ne puisse jamais être identifiée
Pourquoi s'en prendre physiquement à ces détenteurs de cryptomonnaies ? Car pour accéder à l'argent, les agresseurs ont besoin d'un code d'accès. L'argent virtuel est moins protégé que la monnaie réelle. Il n'y a pas de banque. Et une fois le mot de passe récupéré, il n'y a plus qu'à transférer les cryptomonnaies.
"Les transactions sont beaucoup plus immédiates, on parle de l'ordre de quelques minutes. Elles sont en général irréversibles. Ensuite elles vont être noyées parmi des dizaines et des dizaines d'autres transactions, de sorte que l'adresse du ravisseur ou de l'organisation criminelle ne puisse jamais être identifiée", détaille l'expert en sécurité crypto Rémi d'Alise.
"Une cible facile" : comment des malfrats ont enlevé et séquestré le père d'un influenceur en échange d'une rançon
Parler d'argent sur les réseaux sociaux attise les convoitises. Qu'il s'agisse de voyages, de vêtements, de partenariats avec des marques prestigieuses, les influenceurs sont les nouvelles cibles des braqueurs. "La sensation de se faire cambrioler, que quelqu'un rentre chez toi, dans ton intimité, dans ton chez-toi, ça fait peur", explique Inoxtag, récemment victime d'un cambriolage (nouvelle fenêtre).
D'une manière générale, pour se protéger des agresseurs, il est conseillé de ne pas donner votre adresse sur internet et d'éviter de laisser des indices permettant de localiser votre domicile.
