Trois hommes inculpés dans des vols de cryptomonnaies de 6,5 millions de dollars en Californie

Les autorités américaines ont inculpé trois hommes pour une série de vols violents visant des détenteurs de cryptomonnaies à travers la Californie. Cette vague de crimes a permis de dérober 6,5 millions de dollars d'actifs numériques à des victimes à Los Angeles et dans la région de la baie de San Francisco.

Les procureurs fédéraux ont mis en examen le trio pour des chefs d'accusation liés à ce qu'ils ont décrit comme une série d'agressions effrontées. Le stratagème impliquait des vols physiques visant à dérober les avoirs en cryptomonnaies de particuliers dans l'État.
