feat(export): scenario signature on the main sheet, one column per label

Eleven S: columns on the attacks sheet (1 = confirmed v1 label, p = proposed by
the site's keyword engine) plus scenarios_in_order; the separate case_scenarios
sheet stays. Old dated export removed.

+## 2026-09-05 update: linked URLs fetched for the 252 spreadsheet-only cases
+
+Until this pass, fetching had only run on cases 357+ and a handful of older ones. The other
+252 cases held only the text pasted into the spreadsheet, which is often just the lede.
+stage_all.py now takes --include-sheet-cases, which fetches every linked URL for those cases
+too. Run from merge-output/ with:
+    python stage_all.py --include-sheet-cases
+It is resumable: anything already in sourced-articles.json is skipped.
+
+Result of the run (all 252 cases processed):
+- 179 cases gained at least one fetched article; 73 got nothing (site blocked the request,
+  link dead, page needs JavaScript, or the link is a video/social post).
+- 296 URL slots tried: 188 FETCHED, 49 BLOCKED, 18 THIN, 9 DEAD, 4 NOT AN ARTICLE, 3 ERROR.
+- Every fetched block is filed UNTRIMMED (banner in the dossier) and sits beside the sheet
+  paste, which is kept. Trimming is still to do, same as for cases 357+.
+- verify_all.py PASSES (1836 checks).
+
+Second pass, same day: Wayback Machine retrieval and automatic trimming.
+
+- wayback_pass.py retries every linked source the live fetch could not read (BLOCKED,
+  DEAD, THIN, ERROR) through the Wayback Machine. Run from merge-output/:
+      python wayback_pass.py
+  Result over 143 failed slots: 93 FETCHED, 37 no snapshot, 12 THIN (script shell), 1 PDF.
+  Every archived block is labelled with the snapshot date and archive URL in the dossier
+  and keeps the live verdict in its note. 341 of 364 cases now hold a fetched article;
+  3 cases still have no article text at all: 11 (podcast only), 66 (police Facebook video only),
+  399 (direct victim report to Gart Research, no public source). The other seven were sourced by
+  web search on 2026-09-06; add_extra_sources.py files such finds into the store.
+- auto_trim.py cuts site furniture from UNTRIMMED blocks: it finds the paragraph run that
+  mentions the case (terms from the DB record), widens it across short gaps so ledes and
+  closing sentences survive, and drops teasers, share bars, date/URL/caption lines and
+  subscription pitches. Run from merge-output/:
+      python auto_trim.py            (add --reset to redo every automatic cut from staging/)
+  Result: 288 blocks in 252 cases trimmed, 1.44M -> 0.99M chars. These are MACHINE cuts:
+  the dossier banner says AUTO-TRIMMED, UNREVIEWED, and the full extract stays in staging/.
+  Decisions with anchors are in trim-decisions-auto.json.
+- auto-trim-review.md lists the 16 blocks left UNTRIMMED and the 15 trimmed on a weak
+  anchor. The 7 OFF-CASE entries (no record term on the page) are wrong-source candidates;
+  case 248 is on it, which matches the known Le Parisien mismatch.
+- The trimmer removes furniture only. It does NOT separate other incidents inside a
+  round-up article; that is still a read-through job (see the round-up bucket on the
+  worklist).
+- Case 248: Oslo sources found by web search on 2026-09-05 and filed as extra_1..5 (see the worklist entry). verify_all.py PASSES (2321 checks). Not committed yet; review before pushing.

+## 2026-09-09 update: pulling new cases from the live site
+
+The site publishes its cases at https://stats.gart.io/api/attacks (no auth). That feed lacks the
+notes, reports, original_date and has_processed_date fields of the original export, so
+merge-output/pull_live_cases.py MERGES it into attacks-export-Gart-website.json instead of
+replacing it: existing records keep their fields (changed values are taken from live and
+listed), new records are appended with the four fields null. The previous export is kept as
+attacks-export-Gart-website-<date>-before.json and the raw feed as attacks-live-api-<date>.json.
+
+    python pull_live_cases.py            (add --dry-run to see the diff only)
+    python stage_all.py                  (fetches the new cases' linked URLs)
+    python wayback_pass.py <new ids>
+    python auto_trim.py <new ids>
+    python build_cases.py --all && python verify_all.py
+
+First run: 25 new cases (463-487), one edited record (188). The export now holds 389 records.
+Note: build_cases.py writes a new dossier when a victim name changes but does not delete the old
+file; remove the stale one or verify_all.py reports one file too many.

+Automatic first-pass trim of UNTRIMMED fetched blocks.
+
+Uses propose_cuts.py (the case-anchored proposer) to find the paragraph run that talks
+about this case, then widens it backwards across short non-junk gaps so a lede is not
+lost to a one-line subhead, and drops interior lines that are plainly site furniture
+(ALSO READ teasers, share prompts, advertisements). Every kept piece is verified as a
+verbatim substring of the staged file before it is written. The full extract stays on
+disk in staging/, so any cut can be revisited.
+
+This is a machine cut, not a review. Blocks trimmed here are marked
+trimmed_by = "auto (propose_cuts, unreviewed)" and the dossier prints a banner saying
+so. Pages where the proposer cannot find the case (fewer than MIN_HITS case-term hits)
+are left UNTRIMMED and listed in auto-trim-review.md; they are candidates for a
+wrong-source verdict and need a human.
+
+Run build_cases.py --all and verify_all.py afterwards.

+force submission or execute the theft counts as 1, whether or not the record's named victim was
+present. Case 301 (guards tied up) is therefore in the list above.

+victim's space followed by beating or holding them there is detention, however short. No open items.

+# Detention flag review (DB field `kidnappings`)
+
+Rule: README-START-HERE.md, section "Definitions". The flag is 1 when the attackers had physical control
+of the victim at any point (tied, locked in, held at gunpoint through a forced transfer, taken away, fake
+arrest); 0 when control was never gained (snatch, break-in of empty premises, foiled or fought-off attempt).
+Nothing here is applied to the DB. Every line quotes the record or an article already in the case file.
+
+**Decision 2026-09-06 (database owner):** every 0-to-1 proposal below is ACCEPTED, 301 included after the rule was
+clarified: detention used on anyone (guards, staff, a relative) to force submission or execute the
+theft counts as 1, whether or not the record's named victim was present. Decision 2026-09-07: 354, 355 and 124 go to 0. The other 1-to-0 proposals and the CHECK items are
+WITHDRAWN: 242, 273, 413, 423, 422, 215 and 298 stay 1 under the owner's rule that forced entry into the
+victim's space followed by beating or holding them there is detention, however short. No open items. Status per case is in
+detention-flag-corrections.json; the accepted set is also listed in corrections-approved.md.
+
+Not reviewed one by one: the 219 records already at 1 in the Kidnapping, Home Invasion, Authority Misuse,
+Malicious Invitation and Express Kidnapping scenarios, whose own descriptions show the victim held; only the
+flag=1 records in Dodged Attack, Costly Fame, Armed Robbery and P2P were read (all 20 listed below or confirmed).

+- **case 479** (Authority Misuse, Texas, 2024-12-03) — now `0`, propose **1** [CLEAR]: three men posing as DoorDash drivers forced their way into the home, assaulted the homeowner and demanded his wallet before fleeing at police sirens. Forced entry plus violence inside the home.
+- **case 468** (Home Invasion, Paraguay, 2026-08-07) — now `null`, propose **0** [CHECK]: Harry Yeh found dead after a fall from the 30th floor, apartment ransacked, circumstances undetermined; nothing on file shows he was held.
+- **case 483** (Authority Misuse, Ufa, 2022) — stays 0: a traffic officer abused lawful stops to drain wallets from seized phones; the detention was lawful and the theft covert.
+- **case 486** (Malicious Invitation, Miami, 2025-12-08) — stays 0: gunpoint robbery in the street, watch taken from the wrist; no holding.

+Pull the current case list from stats.gart.io and merge it into the DB export.
+
+The live site's /api/attacks is the only public export path. It carries every record
+but not the notes, reports, original_date and has_processed_date fields that the
+original export had, so this merges instead of replacing:
+  - records already in the export keep every field; fields the live copy changed
+    are updated and listed (created_at is ignored)
+  - new records are appended with the four missing fields null
+The previous export is kept beside the new one, dated, so any diff can be re-run.
+The raw API response is saved as attacks-live-api-<date>.json for provenance.
+
+Run from merge-output/, then: stage_all.py, wayback_pass.py <new ids>,
+auto_trim.py <new ids>, build_cases.py --all, verify_all.py.

+  cases-missing-from-database.json said was absent; sheet row 252's article is now filed under it.
+  Row 252's URL is still the wrong French link.
+- **Case 479** (North Richland Hills, Texas) — `kidnappings` (detention) is 0 but three men forced their
+  way in and assaulted the homeowner: set to 1 under the forced-entry rule.
+- **Case 468** (Harry Yeh, Asunción) — detention flag is null; nothing on file shows he was held. Set 0.
+- **Case 188** was edited on the site since the July export (victim name, violence and weapons
+  flags, summary); the merged export now carries the live values.
+- **Case 481** (Meléndez family, Mexico) — the summary's "Five homicides, including a pregnant woman, a
+  three-year-old child, the family dog, and a domestic worker" miscounts: the prosecutor charges four
+  homicides (Jonathan Meléndez, his wife four months pregnant, their daughter aged 3, a 21-year-old domestic
+  worker), plus termination of the pregnancy and animal cruelty as separate offences (the dog Nala was shot).
+  Reword to "four people killed, the unborn child, and the family dog". `life_taken` = 5 counts the unborn
+  child, not the dog; keep 5 if that is the policy, and say so in DEFINITIONS.md.

+  the dossiers.

+  bulk summary repeats "approximately $4 million (~₱200 million)". Neither source supports $4 million. The GMA/PNP report
+  (Fajardo) says the family "paid around P200 million through cryptocurrency in several tranches"; the Tulfo column says a
+  total of ₱160 million, "first by paying ₱60 million, followed by another ₱100 million". ₱200 million was about US$3.5
+  million at 2025 rates, ₱160 million about US$2.8 million; the `description` line "received over $3M in multiple tranches"
+  is consistent with the PNP figure. Proposed wording for `coin_type` and the summary's Crypto Demanded/Stolen line:
+  "around ₱200 million (about US$3.5 million) paid in cryptocurrency in several tranches, per PNP; Tulfo reports ₱160
+  million in two payments (₱60 million, then ₱100 million)". Record-vs-source conflict (₱200M vs ₱160M): both figures kept,

+  "$100 million USDT" is the opening demand, negotiated down through $50M and $20M to an undisclosed final figure, and the
+  payment was cash withdrawn by the wife and converted to USDT in a Manila casino the gang used, so `coin_type` should read
+  "USDT (converted from cash by the family)"; `victim` should read "Chinese businessman, nickel-mining contractor" rather

+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."

+ORIGINAL (unknown, verbatim as retrieved)
+
+Stupidity or Greed? Why Steal Bitcoin ATM?
+
+It seems that the thieves wanted to get their hands on this machine in particular. Amanda McCollum, an employee in Midtown’s 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 don’t 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 aren’t 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, who’s also known as Mr.Bitcoin. “On top of that, newly placed BTM’s will all be insured against theft.”

+Two Bitcoin ATMs Stolen In Amsterdam | Bitcoinist.com
+
+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 can’t 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.

+Bitcoin Crime Wave Breaks Out in NYC | | Observer
+
+Bitcoin, the technology that’s 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 we’ve 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. He’s alive, well, and refusing comment.
+
+Typically, when we hear of bitcoin-related crimes, it’s 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. He’s like a weed delivery guy, only instead of delivering drugs, he’s 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, it’s like the Wild West,' Mr. Katz said, 'and stagecoach robberies are going to happen.'
+
+Mr. Katz reported the incident to the police, and he’s 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 you’re new to using cryptocurrencies, it’s 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 you’re dealing with turns on you, you’ll 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 isn’t 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 he’s 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, it’s 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.
+
+No arrests have been made in Katz's case.
+
+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.
+
+The Observer article said that a New York City firefighter had been stabbed during a robbery of bitcoins that he had agreed to sell. But police on Friday told CNBC that that robbery, which occurred on Feb. 9, "is not bitcoin related." The firefighter's credit card and PIN number were stolen, and he was stabbed in the arm, police said.

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

+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
+
+Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
+
+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 Sheriff’s 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 driver’s door pocket.
+
+The two robbers ran with the money. Manos chased them, but couldn’t 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 - Bitsonline
+
+Thieves stole a bitcoin ATM installed in Oudenbosch, Netherlands last Wednesday by lifting and carrying it away. With bitcoin’s high prices attracting newcomer crooks as well as investors, it’s unclear if the thieves really understood what they were stealing.
+
+Join the Bitsonline Telegram channel to get the latest Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and tech news updates: https://t.me/bitsonline
+
+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 it’s 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 it’s possible that’s what the thieves were really after. Still, bitcoin ATMs don’t 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 don’t exist in the physical world, they’re 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 Vissia’s 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 wouldn’t give you access to them.
+
+A similar incident occurred in India just a couple of months before. The thieves, who possibly couldn’t 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.

+Victim of Brazilian Bitcoin Ransom Kidnapping Plot Rescued - Bitcoin World Tour
+
+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 victim’s husband demanding the ransom, sending him a video of victim in which she said she didn’t 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 victim’s 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 wasn’t 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 victim’s husband told criminals that cryptocurrency’s trading volume in the country wasn’t large enough for him to have the demanded amount available.
+
+Due to bitcoin’s 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 isn’t injured.”
+
+The victim’s 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 | Khaleej Times
+
+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.

 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 woman's corpse in Shiga | TokyoReporter 
+ Press "Enter" to skip to content
+
+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 Noda’s 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.

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

+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 guy’s 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 victim’s 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 DA’s office — a courtesy that wasn’t extended to Nunez or his co-defendants.
+
+“And he [Nunez] is not suspected of being nearly as violent,” added Georges. Justice Melissa Jackson, who didn’t 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.

+Russia: Blogger Who ‘Boasted’ About Crypto Wealth Beaten and Robbed For $425k
+
+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 Nyashin’s 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.

+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."

+Bitcoin Raid, Moulsford: Transfer Failed, Thieves Got Nothing - Business Insider
+
+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.

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

+Moscow Man Mutilated And Mugged For $1 Million In Bitcoin, 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.
+
+“It’s one thing to steal or rob from someone,” Parrish said. “It’s 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
+
+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. Pang’s 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.

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

+What cops say happened during a Maserati chase on I-95 in Miami-Dade and Broward
+
+A Saturday morning police chase that spanned southern Broward and North Miami-Dade counties ended with one crash, three people arrested and four people — those three and a Miami-Dade police officer — being taken to a hospital, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
+
+All four had injuries that FHP described as “non-life threatening.”

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.

+Skycoin Freezes Funds After Staff 'Take CEO Hostage' And Steal 18 BTC | Bitcoinist.com
+
+Allegations of criminal activity continue at Skycoin as executives freeze funds to contain fallout from a theft by the coin’s 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 Synth’s 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 Coinbase’s 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.

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

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

+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 pal’s luxury apartment after a night of drinking and forced him to cough up his cryptocurrency account login information, the Manhattan District Attorney’s 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 doesn’t say whether the men, who flaunt their extravagant lifestyles in online posts, hacked into Truglia’s 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 Truglia’s 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 attorney’s office wherein the complainant admits these allegations are false,” she maintained.
+
+“It’s 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 they’ve 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.

+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.

+Criminal Gang Abducts and Tortures Cryptocurrency Traders, Demands Massive Bitcoin Ransom - Newsweek
+
+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. "[The gang] wanted to extort money from the trio. They held them hostage in the flat and had threatened to kill them if the demands were not met," NDTV quoted Sharma as saying. "Not even their family members were aware of the abduction. The victims had lost all hope because they had no access to anyone." Police said they seized guns and SUVs from the criminals. The suspects were identified by local media as Jitendra Kumar, 21, Deepak Kumar, 22, Anupam Soni, 19, Pawan Kumar, 20, Bhawani Singh, 19, Lokendra Singh, 24 and Rahul Kumar, 19. Lokendra Singh is from Rajasthan and the others are originally from Haryana. As reported by The Next Web, it's not the first time cryptocurrency traders have been targeted by extortion gangs. In January this year, it emerged that police in South Africa had arrested two suspects who allegedly kidnapped a 13-year-old boy and demanded bitcoins from his parents. He was safely returned to his family, local media outlet Times Live reported. The pair were caught after attempting to kidnap a teenage girl.

+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.
+
+"[The gang] wanted to extort money from the trio. They held them hostage in the flat and had threatened to kill them if the demands were not met," NDTV quoted Sharma as saying. "Not even their family members were aware of the abduction. The victims had lost all hope because they had no access to anyone." Police said they seized guns and SUVs from the criminals.
+
+The suspects were identified by local media as Jitendra Kumar, 21, Deepak Kumar, 22, Anupam Soni, 19, Pawan Kumar, 20, Bhawani Singh, 19, Lokendra Singh, 24 and Rahul Kumar, 19. Lokendra Singh is from Rajasthan and the others are originally from Haryana.
+
+As reported by The Next Web, it's not the first time cryptocurrency traders have been targeted by extortion gangs. In January this year, it emerged that police in South Africa had arrested two suspects who allegedly kidnapped a 13-year-old boy and demanded bitcoins from his parents. He was safely returned to his family, local media outlet Times Live reported. The pair were caught after attempting to kidnap a teenage girl.

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

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

+ 
+ 
+ 
+ 
+
+The 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 couple’s 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 family’s 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 - Vanguard News
+
+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 victim’s 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.

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

+Man out on bail for cheating charges allegedly kidnapped in Thailand, Singapore News - AsiaOne
+
+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.

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

+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.
+

+
+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 Scotland’s 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."

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

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

+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 victim’s 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 SBU’s 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.

+Two thieves have destroyed the front wall of a deli in Canada after a failed attempt to steal a Bitcoin ATM.
+
+A delicatessen in the Canadian town of Kelowna, British Colombia has been severely damaged after two bumbling crooks attempted to steal a Bitcoin ATM installed in a store adjacent to it.
+
+At roughly 3am on October 7, the two suspects unsuccessfully attempted to steal the Bitcoin ATM located on the back wall of the neighbouring store. While attempting to flee empty-handed they backed their white GMC Sierra pick-up truck into L&D Meats and Deli and smashed its front wall.
+
+The chance they’ll be caught seems quite high, as local police noted that the thieves managed to leave their tailgate behind. Solana Paré, a spokesperson for Kelowna police stated:
+
+“A preliminary assessment conducted by staff on-site, suggests that despite the thousands of dollars in damage caused, nothing appears to be taken from inside the business as the suspects were unsuccessful in taking the Bitcoin ATM.”
+
+Given how inept the attempted theft was, you have to wonder if the criminals were hoping to steal the “Bitcoins’ inside the machine, or if they were after cash.
+
+The deli’s owner Don Favell lamented the timing of the incident, noting that Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and his customers are expecting to receive pre-ordered meat before the holiday.
+
+Favell said the damages will be covered by his insurance and that he is now focused on trying to get his business up and running again. He told local media: “That’s all we can do, look after everybody.”
+
+“They will get their turkeys,” he vowed.

+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
+
+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 couldn’t 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.
+
+The next hearing is scheduled for January 11.

+
+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.

+Hong Kong police are hunting for a gang of thieves who lured a female cryptocurrency trader to an office for a deal and robbed her of HK$3.5 million (US$448,700) in cash at knifepoint on Monday afternoon.
+
+The robbery – the second such hold-up in two weeks – took place at the Ricky Centre on Chong Yip Street in Kwun Tong around 2.30pm, after the woman met a man posing as a buyer.
+
+She had recently sold the man digital money in three transactions, each involving HK$600,000 to HK$700,000, according to police.
+
+“Investigations showed she was paid HK$3.5 million in cash after using her iPhone to complete an online transaction and sell him USDT tokens,” a police source said, referring to a type of cryptocurrency.
+
+“Soon after she was handed the money, three men carrying either a knife or a rod rushed out from a room and snatched the money and the iPhone from her at knifepoint.”
+
+He said the four fled after locking the victim in the office. The source said the gang could have carried out the earlier deals to win her trust and pave the way for the hold-up.

+Polish crypto exchange employee in induced coma after armed attack
+
+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.

+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.

+
+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.

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.

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.

+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....
