A 21-year-old child was brutally killed by classmates after boasting that his father is the deputy mayor and that he holds cryptocurrency.
Today, there was a shocking news story about a 21-year-old child who, while studying abroad, revealed to his classmates that his father is the deputy mayor and that he owns a certain amount of cryptocurrency. He was subsequently kidnapped, abused, and ultimately killed by his classmates and another individual.
According to police reports: the victim was beaten in a parking lot and then confined in a car where he was tortured for several hours.
During this time, he was repeatedly forced to reveal the passwords to his cryptocurrency wallets. Eventually, after being tortured, he could no longer withstand the pressure and disclosed the passwords to both wallets, after which the suspects transferred all the money from the wallets.
However, even after obtaining the money, the two kidnappers still abandoned the victim in the back seat of the car, set the vehicle on fire, and destroyed the evidence.
Recent frequent kidnapping incidents indicate that robberies targeting cryptocurrency holders are becoming increasingly common.
