FBI Charges Three Men in Violent $6.5M Crypto Robbery Case

Federal authorities in San Francisco have charged three men in connection with a series of alleged kidnappings and armed robberies targeting cryptocurrency holders.

Investigators say the suspects posed as delivery workers to gain access to victims. Once inside, they allegedly used firearms, duct tape, and zip ties to restrain individuals and coerce them into revealing access to their crypto accounts.

In one case outlined in the indictment, approximately $6.5 million in cryptocurrency was reportedly transferred to wallets linked to individuals associated with the defendants. The three men remain in federal custody as the case proceeds through court.
