Rekt - Digital Danger

The article is a REKT feature on physical crime against cryptocurrency holders, arguing that digital wealth has increasingly led to real-world violence. It cites Nick Drakon, a crypto executive who was forced at gunpoint to transfer millions in crypto, including Revelo Intel's and Revelo Ventures' funds, before forfeiting his stake in Revelo Intel. Other cases include a $700k Bitcoin robbery of Israeli tourists in Costa Rica in August, a July kidnapping and killing of a 29-year-old in Kyiv over 3 BTC, and a $1.2 million crypto ransom kidnapping in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. It also recounts the 2013 extortion of Hal Finney and the 2015 armed robbery of Dean Katz.
