Topic: Bitcoin Trader Brutally Tortured - page 10. (Read 1551 times)
I think he told a lot of people that he is Trader and this has caused him big trouble. Or he has revealed his information online, and this has helped criminals get detailed information about him before they plan to attack him.
I don't want to be in this situation, this is scary not just for me but for my family. They could have been traumatized by this incident. And this is not the first time though, so everyone just be careful and hope that this won't happen to us. I do hope that they will caught these guys and put behind bars for good.
That is why I keep my animosity in tack and will not let anybody know my true identity and I really think this is for the safety of most people in the community to keep his identity sacred, to anyone and let your friends or anybody know that you are trading, earning, And even gambling for bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, It will be limited only to your family and the most trusted loved ones, This kind of news is simply very alarming and when the price of bitcoin would increase again then there can be another threat to people even your loved ones that you are into Cryptocurrency.
I can't believe that, people are willing to die for bitcoin, this is madness!!
A crypto trader from the Netherlands had been brutally tortured in front of his 4-year-old daughter, by 3 suspects disguised as police. The investigator suspected that the criminals stole some private keys, passwords that transferred the victim's fund to the suspect's wallet. How could the criminal know his a trader and identity, location? Could this be an inside job?

Oh My God! Shame on those criminals! They did the torture in front of an innocent. I hope that karma will get back to them 1o fold! This news can be n eye opener to use not to divulge or boast that we have cryptocurrency because it can attract those heartless criminals. I'm praying that the daughter will soon recover from this.

It is not so easy to find the identity and locality of a person through a bitcoin address. I wonder how the criminals would have got the exact location of the crypto trader. I guess that the crypto trader would have done KYC in some airdrop/ICO/website through which the criminals would have got to know the locality of the person. Another possibility is that the KYC of the person would have been shared on the dark web from where the criminals would have got his locality. We all know that there have been so many ICO scams and airdrops of shitcoins which asked for KYC details from the investors. The possibility of the crypto trader investing in such schemes would have lead to this incident. This is the reason why many people opt out when it comes to submitting KYC for crypto purpose. Also, it is better if we don't publicly announce that we hold cryptocurrencies since this would be like an open invitation for hackers and criminals. More information here:

Perhaps some cryptocurrency exchange platform with a KYC policy hot hacked and the criminals gathered information about the real identity of crypto traders in Netherlands.I don't beleive that this guy is going to brag here and there that he is a crypto trader.Awful news,anyway...
Agreed with you comrade; that's why i hate KYC, better for me to stop whatsoever campaign that request for my personal data than foolishly submitting the data. Solely believe that they might have gotten the right information about the victim before they act as such. Let's be careful about our watery mouth before our enemies(friends).
This can be so tragic and the big lesson here is never be telling anyone much more advertised publicly or even subtly that you are involved with cryptocurrency especially if one is a trader as there can be criminals who are fast in assuming that a trader is always having much money. A criminal can force entry into your house anytime and demand to transfer your coins or tokens to another wallet in exchange for safety and because transactions are irreversible then there is nothing we can do. We have to be careful as we are now in the era where personal safety can anytime be jeopardized irrespective if we are rich or just having enough money to survive.
Why isn't that is happening to people like Roger Ver and Vitalik? They aren't running around with a security team. This guy was probably involved in some shadyt dealings and got what was coming to him.
Why such hype by a normal robbery?Don't we hear this kind of robbery with fiat money too. People are murdering others for money. Bank robbery, hackers are hacking money from central banks.
If we compare this robbery with all those high profile crimes then do you think this is even a news? The yellow media whenever find something to blame Bitcoin, they just print it.
They want you to be scared.
You are completely right, much worse things are being done over cash and drugs. The vidoes I've seen coming out of South America are gruesome.
This bitcoin theft is a drop in the bucket compared to what evil really goes on in the world.

You have your point mate, but we also need to thank them as they gave alarming information about things that possibly can happen to all of us,
we are no longer safe in terms of investing to this industry, criminals also been informed about this market and the value of any crypto currency,
thanks OP for sharing this information.

Bitcoin, which is currently worth around $3,800 (£2,800), is semi-anonymous and therefore difficult to trace to a single individual.
Since its peak in late 2017, bitcoin has lost close to three quarters of its value, yet still remains an attractive prospect for criminals.

They want you to get scared of holding crypto. Why it's specifically for crypto. Any valuable asset (Gold, cash, diamond) are attractive prospect for criminals. Why only Bitcoin?
The yello media will get inside you and then they will spread the fear so that in the long run your mind shift. That's how they play.

I bet it is one of his colleagues or friends who sold him out. Or maybe if the banks are dirty out there then it could be a possibilty also. If that case happened to me then it is the bank that only knows my current amounts of transactions. Poor guy it has to go beyond that. In front of his family, I feel zad for the little girl as it will bring trauma for some years. So becareful out there guys.

Sorry, but no-one deserves to be treated that way, besides you're just making wild assumptions here.
I mean there are a number of possible scenarios here and the victim being a shady figure isn't a given.
Heck, your comment sounds like you're saying that everyone dealing with cryptocurrency is doing shady stuff.

It could be that:
[1] the victim was proudly declaring to the world that he has tons of crypto
[2] he tells his friends about his crypto and then concocted a plot to steal them
[3] somewhat overheard him telling his friends about his crypto
Anyways, in the last few years we have heard similar stories like this. There was even a Norwegian man murdered after he liquidated his assets (https://ethereumworldnews.com/a-24-year-norwegian-man-killed-after-selling-his-bitcoins/). So my advise is just to keep quite about your crypto earnings. You will never know those criminals are just around and looking to target unsuspecting crypto enthusiast.

No matter how secure is your wallet. If someone knows that you own some big amount of money then you won't be so resilient to physical violence. If some of you will get big amount of BTC then don't be greedy / stupid and use a good bitcoin mixer.
Even a gun won't be that useful when someone performs a planned attack when you are not expecting it.
My advice for Americans and those where it's legal to do so is to arm yourself and always have your gun handy in case violent intruders enter your property. In Europe, perhaps there are other safeguards. What happened in the Netherlands is a great example of why gun ownership should be allowed among the general public.

Someone who really close to the victim are involved on this one, and its really sad to hear a news like this where there is a children in front of them, it looks like they don’t care at all just to get the money. I’m scared because of this, maybe I have to hide my real identity for good even to my friends who I can’t really trust.
