A Canadian family suffered a violent home invasion and lost 1.6 million dollars in Bitcoin.
Odaily News A family residing in British Columbia, Canada, encountered a home invasion in April 2024. Four masked assailants disguised as postal workers entered the victims' home, subjected the parents to water torture and beatings, and forced their 18-year-old daughter to pose naked for photos. The violent coercion lasted for 13 hours and ultimately led to the family losing Bitcoin worth $1.6 million. A suspect from Hong Kong was sentenced to 7 years in prison for his involvement in the case, revealing that he was hired for the crime for a reward of CAD 50,000. Currently, the other three suspects are still at large. Police warn that as crypto asset investors become targets for organized crime, similar cases may continue to occur. (ibtimes)
