In Kyiv, a Man Was Forced to Hand Over Bitcoin Worth Nearly $50,000
In Kyiv, three men coerced Alexey Sherstnev, a cryptocurrency trader and consultant, into surrendering his Bitcoin holdings. Sherstnev shared the incident on his Facebook page, describing three hours of torture where the assailants demanded Bitcoin. The attackers, described as strong men, beat and threatened to kill him.
The incident took place on the evening of September 4 inside the Santa Muerte club on Yaroslaviv Val Street. Sherstnev was contacted by a man who asked to meet for a cryptocurrency consultation, claiming to know an investor interested in Bitcoin. The first meeting with this supposed investor occurred on August 25, where Sherstnev demonstrated how Bitcoin wallets and money transfers work. A second meeting was scheduled for September 4.
During the second meeting, three men threatened Sherstnev and demanded his phone and Bitcoin wallet password. When he tried to leave, they grabbed and beat him, taking his phone. The attackers held him in the bar for about three hours, demanding a transfer of 10-12 Bitcoins (roughly $44,000).
Cleverly, Sherstnev tricked the attackers into sending an SOS signal from his phone and even managed to photograph one of them. Realizing the alarm had been raised, the assailants fled. Sherstnev subsequently reported the crime to the police.
Previously, in Ukraine, an underground Bitcoin conversion center was reported to have embezzled 200 million hryvnias.
