French Couple Suffers Three Break-Ins After Purchasing Former Crypto Millionaire's Property
TechFlow News, August 12, according to The Block, a couple in Somme, France experienced three break-ins in less than a month after purchasing the former residence of a crypto millionaire. The incident stemmed from the previous owner's tax information and address being leaked to the dark web, leading criminals to mistakenly believe the new residents held crypto assets worth about 1 million euros.
The first break-in was repelled by a dog; during the second, the intruders subdued the residents and livestreamed the attack on Snapchat, fleeing after confirming the target was incorrect; the third break-in was deterred by the alarm system. The Amiens Criminal Court subsequently convicted two men (aged 20 and 21) involved in the third break-in, sentencing them to 3 years and 18 months in prison respectively.
