The victim had disclosed their Bitcoin investment to a worker during an office renovation, then was robbed by an armed group in November 2024. Within roughly an hour, the group forced the victim to transfer Bitcoin worth approximately $54,000. They also made off with a truck valued at $36,200, plus cell phones and laptops.
