Court to Try 2 Russians for Stealing 86 Bitcoins From Crypto Miner

Thieves Face Trial in Russia for Armed Robbery of Cryptocurrency Miner
|
||
The Kirovsky Court of Tomsk will soon try two men for their attack on another resident of the Siberian city who made a living by mining cryptocurrencies. They were able to extort from him coins worth more than 360 million rubles at the time (over $4.8 million), the Russian crypto news outlet Bits.media reported.
|
||
The crime took place in October 2021. The perpetrators attacked the cryptocurrency miner when he was leaving his home. One of them threatened him with an object resembling a gun and brought him back inside his apartment.
|
||
Then, his accomplice came in and the two forced the victim to log into his account on a crypto exchange and transfer them 86 BTC from a wallet that contained 90 BTC. It’s unclear why they decided not to withdraw the full balance.
|
||
Russian law enforcement managed to track and detain one of the suspects in St. Petersburg. He has since pleaded guilty and returned the fiat equivalent of a portion of the stolen digital cash — 35 million rubles (close to $479,000 at current exchange rates). The second man was arrested later.
|
||
The regional prosecutor’s office has charged the attackers with “robbery committed by a group of persons on an especially large scale” under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. They face up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to 1 million rubles.
|
||
Attacks against people owning and earning cryptocurrency have been on the rise in Russia. In July, 2021, armed robbers plundered a large mining farm near Moscow, stealing dozens of video cards used to mint digital currencies. Also last year, $1 million in tether was taken away from a crypto trader in the Russian capital.
