And this now got me worried its adviceable not to tell anyone how much cryptocurrency you have or hold presently who knows? You might be a target, let's be more extra careful
But this can be inside job as well since theres a chance that KYC has being used to trace us from some exchange or gambling sites as well

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?

Well that is a good question how could the criminals know that he is a trader?
Maybe through social media we could see some traders posting some of their profit or being proud that they are trader or online earners.
Could this be an inside job?
How could this be an inside job we know that there are plenty of trading site out there and how could they do it only in one trader?
And if this is an inside job don't you think that they would go after to the whales ?
I don't really think that this would be an inside job maybe just a coincident .

This is a rare case, probably the robber knows about this guy and how he the victim earn and had that huge bitcoin. Since, bitcoin is difficult to trace because of its anonymity then tracing the suspect using block chain technology during the transfer may be difficult. There other coins also that could be use to convert bitcoin and then encash them or transfer funds to an exchange that do not do KYC and then withdraw them.

This is a police matter so we will just hope that the case would be resolve immediately and justice will be serve.
It should be solved by local authorities as the crime committed, but it's also an indirect awareness for people who's involved around crypto to make
some extra precautions, bitcoin or crypto currencies have a fiat value knowing that you have lots of it will endangered your life.

even I don't think there is a conspiracy that shares the merchant's personal data, except for the person who really knows that he is a crypto trader who has many assets.
and there is no exchange that distributes user data especially to commit violence to take over the asset.
so I think this case is a different case involving people around him

This is the same reason why i am always against sending KYC in not so important matters here in crypto,specially when joining bounties because of the risk like this,earning small amount weekly (and sometimes a chance of being scammed)but obliged to give our identities

Hope this will serve as examples for those bounty hunters and investors as well to keep the security always and never just trust anyone for our identity

yes, it can be a lesson for us not to show whatever we have to others because it can provoke crime for ourselves,I think the 3 people thought he was a big trader who had a lot of cryptocurreny so we have to be careful about what we have because we don't know who is jealous of us.
Of course this is a lesson for us that not everyone likes what we have, even some are jealous, so they make the decision to rob or force us to release our bitcoin.
The Bitcoin that we have is anonymous, so the factor is we show or boast as bitcoin owners so that bad people target the bitcoin we have. So it's better to keep quiet because it makes us safe.

Highly insane. It is good to be anonymous in this field.

Yeah but that could happen to anyone with anything, including fiat money.

The thing is that in this case it's a lot easier to do so, you only open an online wallet quick taking some measurements and that's it. A lot easier than a bank account in a place without extradition and/or using certain financial proxies but the people who do that kind of stuffs do it for a lot of money, those kind of things are not cheap.

It's really hard to know who to trust in this life, really hard.

This is a very difficult case for the authorities since we know that bitcoin is not that eatablish and known. The authorities will going to look for it and learn about the system for it could also lead for the suspects arrests or identity. Whatever the authority will hope for the success in cracking the case and as for kid hope she goes to counseling.

When people stop telling everyone about how much money they have?
Stop doing it.
Same about crypto. It is easy to steal if the scammer has a private key address actually. People are greedy. And they are ready to do a lot for a couple of BTC. Take care, please. And do not tell strangers about your funds. Money loves silence.

Right. I don't get it either. Probably share it with a few well trusted friends and family members who you're 100 sure won't betray you for money. It' sad that this has to happen to someone within the crypto community but we all have to practice caution everytime.

Yes this news is very true I read the full news some weeks back ,my advice is for everyone crypto fans to be very careful not to disclose what there coins and tokens worth because words travel faster than anything in this world ,if you want to stay safe don't let strangers especially knows your worth or you can easily be a target

I think there are a number of possibilities 1, there is a planned violence / robbery done by the closest person
2, because we may often tell someone about our work, so that someone is jealous of us and wants to get all our assets
3. there is a chance
so we have to be careful both talking and acting. Remember ... crime is sometimes not because it was planned but because there is a chance

Number 2, in most cases there is an inside guy. Close friend, family member, someone who heard how you talk about something valuable that you have. Number 3, if you don`t close the door some random passing guy will try to use the opportunity.

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.

In US it`s legal to have firearms and you can shoot someone in your house and to not go to jail for that, it`s not the same in the rest of the world. Personally I don`t like guns, but when we talk about this situations when criminals raid your home, when they threat you and your family, what should someone do?
When we talk about this I always think about a movie Law Abiding Citizen, when criminals kill his wife and daughter, for couple dollars.

For inside jobs it won't be much useful, you would keep assuming 'I'am safe' as you are with familiar person and then you just got betrayed.

May be it's just better idea not to not boast about your crypto holdings, or you are in crypto et all.

Something really unfortunate
But often these criminals or someone knows this person
The world of crypto needs a lot of caution
This information can not be shared with social media for example

That's why being anonymous is crucial to most traders and whales because if not, then you will risk your life to any criminals lurking around. By looking at the incidents there are lots of angles to view and accounted for the local police. People should choose carefully their trusted friends and relatives because you will never know it might be one of them.

Its really a pity this guy had to go through such and am sure someone who knows him did this. We should not at anytime disclose our crypto asset to anyone at any point in time. There are desperate people everywhere who don't want to work but looking for who to rob. Keep your Bitcoin worth to yourself and be careful who you tell you deal on Bitcoin.

There's a rule that usually close friends or family are connected with the crime. I don't know the statistics but it can be 70 % of cases or even more that are done with help of a close relative, friend, neighbor, coworker, lover. .

It's also possible they traded with him in person or saw him bragging about it at a bar. The less people know how wealthy you are the better.

The world currently is very unsafe and its really not adviceable telling people how much Bitcoin you own. It is best you keep such information to yourself as you don't know who might want to attack you over your private key. Also wearing stuffs that shows you into cryptocurrency can also expose you, though such things help promote bitcoin and cryptocurrency during conferences and seminars but then we need to be careful. God help us all.
