Four men rob $1.6 million worth of Bitcoin and torture victims for over 13 hours On November 25th, a Hong Kong man was sentenced to 7 years in prison in Canada for his involvement in an extremely brutal home invasion robbery. Four attackers disguised themselves as postal workers and stormed into a home in British Columbia, subjecting the family of three to 13.5 hours of beatings, waterboarding, and sexual assault threats, ultimately stealing $1.6 million worth of Bitcoin. The court called it a "carefully planned long-term violent crime," with attackers scouting and monitoring the victims weeks in advance to lock in their encrypted assets. The next morning, the victim's daughter successfully escaped and reported to the police. The police found that her parents were injured and tied up, and her husband's lower body was naked. The case is described as an "extremely violent and carefully deployed encrypted robbery".
