A Canadian crypto forum moderator was forced into hiding with his children after narrowly escaping a violent crime attempt intended to gain access to his crypto wallet.

Family Flees

The victim disclosed that the assailants had equipment meant for torture, describing a chilling scene involving a tarpaulin and surgical tools. The family now moves between Airbnbs to stay undetected. The crime's motive reportedly stemmed from a mistaken belief that he owned 2.5 million Bitcoins, a claim he denied.

Crypto Crime Cases Surge Worldwide

Cryptocurrency-related crimes have been on the rise. According to Jameson Lopp, there have been at least 181 reported cases of crypto-related robberies, kidnappings, and murders since 2014. Recent incidents include the abduction and ransom of WonderFi Technologies CEO Dean Skurka, and other similar cases worldwide.

Security Tips for the Crypto Community

Lopp advises the crypto community to practice caution, avoid flaunting wealth on social media, and limit risky transactions. 'The less criminals know about you, the less likely you are to be targeted,' he states.

This incident highlights the risks of transparency in the crypto sphere and the necessity for improving overall security for cryptocurrency users.
