A Violent Gang Has Been Breaking Into Houses and Forcing Homeowners to Fork Over Their Crypto
The criminals overlooked how easy it can be to trace crypto.
How do they know the occupants of any particular residence even have crypto?
Like, how many times would they beat me with a wrench before finally believing me when I say "I don't have any crypto! It's fucking stupid, and I want nothing to do with it."
Only thing mentioned was a Coinbase account, so I'm assuming that's how?
Everyone that I work with that owns crypto brags about it non stop. Like it’s some sort of dick measuring tool. I assume it’s the same everywhere. They just cannot resist bragging about how much or how little they own of it.
I’ve never had an interest investing in it and never will.
The exchanges get hacked. Passwords are encrypted but not contact info and current balances are not. American exchanges are forced to collect accurate KYC info for every customer.
Exchange accounts, word of mouth, and possibly some data breaches here and there. A lot of crypto people aren't quiet about it.
Lmao I don't know how you'd handle getting that back if you got robbed like that. Or if you even could.
Imagine hating crypto so much that you lmao at people being attacked and robbed.
A lot of their targets are public people. For instance, targeting the employees of a defi company.
Could be worse: they could be forcing you to buy crypto
In-person robbery of a currency that can be traced at every transaction. Remarkable it worked out for so long.
