OpenAI Co-Founder Sam Altman's Ex-Boyfriend Robbed at Home, Loses $11 Million Worth of Cryptocurrency

On November 26th, based on information from law enforcement and insiders who communicated with the New York Post, a tech investor who had been in a relationship with OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman had their San Francisco residence burglarized at gunpoint last Saturday night, resulting in the loss of cryptocurrency worth $11 million. Security camera footage showed that the suspect, disguised as a delivery person carrying a white package, rang the doorbell of the $4.4 million residence. When the suspect falsely claimed to be "Joshua" delivering a package and identified himself as a UPS partner employee, the victim opened the door and confirmed that it was Joshua. After pretending to need a signature and a pen, the suspect followed the resident inside, and shortly after, a loud noise occurred. Law enforcement sources stated that the suspect, armed inside the residence, held the victim at gunpoint, bound them with duct tape, emptied their cryptocurrency accounts, and stole their phones and computers. When the police arrived at 6:45 PM that evening, the victim was found with multiple bruises. An insider involved in the investigation revealed that the gunman made off with $11 million worth of Ethereum and Bitcoin, and it is believed to be a targeted operation by an organized crime group. According to witnesses, after restraining the victim, the suspect subjected them to torture and physical assault while on a hands-free call. There was a foreign accent on the other end continuously stating the victim's personal information. The robber then emptied all of the victim's wallets within about 90 minutes. It is reported that the homeowner, a 31-year-old named Lachy Groom, is a venture capitalist and a former boyfriend of 40-year-old Sam Altman. Property records show that he purchased the property from the Altman brothers in 2021 for $1.8 million.
