South Africa: Man Tortured for Bitcoins, in Intensive Care
|
|
The victim was burned with a hot iron and lost Bitcoin worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
|
|
A Bitcoin 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.
|
|
A hot iron
|
|
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.
