According to Wu Blockchain, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that three men from Missouri have been charged in connection with a Bitcoin robbery plot. Prosecutors allege that in August 2024, the three traveled to Connecticut, prepared air guns, walkie-talkies, and vehicles, and tracked their target and the target's parents. They planned to break into the residence and force the target to transfer crypto assets to a designated account. The target had previously been involved in a multi-million-dollar Bitcoin theft case. The three men ultimately left before carrying out the plan, but another group later kidnapped and assaulted the target's parents. In May 2026, a grand jury indicted the three men on charges of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, a crime that carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. All three have pleaded not guilty, with two of them still in custody. https://(wublock123.com)/news/us-prosecutors-charge-three-men-in-connected-multi-million-bitcoin-theft-assets-66180
