An FBI agent was arrested last Friday on suspicion of stealing approximately $1 million in crypto assets from "hostile crypto accounts". The affidavit states that Patrick Yaroch began transferring funds in late 2024 or early 2025. After discovering he could control the keys to the relevant digital wallets, he made around 12 transfers. Yaroch, a former senior special agent in the Counterintelligence and Espionage Division at FBI Headquarters, previously worked at the Boston Field Office and was fired on July 31. He told investigators that he mixed his personal funds with the crypto assets involved, admitting to "making some very bad decisions" regarding crypto wallets. The FBI noted that Yaroch used ChatGPT for advice on how to dispose of or invest the $1 million, and on moving to a European country. Based on his family situation, his need to purchase a 2 to 5 hectare estate, and his interest in collecting vintage wine, ChatGPT listed Portugal as the top choice. The affidavit also shows Yaroch has purchased round-trip tickets to Portugal for September 3. Court documents indicate Yaroch has been charged with interstate transportation of stolen property, as well as receiving stolen goods, securities, and funds.
