It looks like a fake robbery claiming if they were a policeman.
Just because someone wears a police uniform doesn't mean that he is policeman, and just because someone is policeman doesn't mean that he won't rob you. Just the other day a big group of scammers was arrested in Croatia that pretended to be police in order to trick elderly that were their main targets.

if you have already told other people the number of your bitcoins, you should make other reasons when people ask you about it again, crime can come from anyone and anywhere, so being suspicious is quite important.
It's not only limited by told other people of Bitcoin you hold, but other thing like: teaching someone about Bitcoin, wear a shirt or anything related with Bitcoin, submitting your KYC to online site, and installing many applications which can spy anything in your device. there is no detailed explanation of how the thief could find out that the tourist has bitcoins
It wasn't a rocket science really as this guy is crypto "entrepeneur" so it was safe to assume that has some crypto. Just another proof how dangerous is to let everyone know that you are into crypto and I am susprised that we are not seeing more $5 dollar wrench attack cases like this.Then again, he might got what he deserves as he seems like a scammer that got robbed. Karma is a bitch.
Our current hero creates channels and groups where he sells signals for making money on betting, mining, cryptocurrency, offers to buy his courses as ready-made solutions for good earnings, but by contacting Boitsov, people only lose money and nothing more.
Positioning himself as a good financial expert, the young man actively promotes various projects, charges quite expensive for his services and signals, promising a 100% result, but his clients do not get what they want and suffer significant financial losses.
Yury Boytsov cleverly organizes the draining of clients, although through his social networks he beautifully advertises the proposed work schemes, calling them a 100% path to success, but in reality this does not happen.
The scammer, in order to justify his unsuccessful projects, voices non-identical stories of success and development in various interviews, and he is also actively blacklisted and deservedly so. If Yury Boytsov is exposed in relation to the personality, then one can understand that this young swindler sells a dummy as valuable information, earns almost out of the blue, and because of him people go into the red and remain with serious debts.

February 27, BLiTZ: News On the island of Bali in Indonesia, Russian investment blogger Yuri Boytsov was beaten and robbed. According to the tg-channel Baza, unknown persons forced him to transfer bitcoins in the amount of $284,000 to their accounts. According to him, the attackers are an Indonesian in the form of a policeman, a man in a Balaklava, as well as two “two men of Caucasian appearance.”
According to the blogger, the attackers broke into his villa and began to demand money for the fact that he “dumped” someone. Fighters did not want to give away their funds. And then the unknown hit him on the head several times. So they managed to force the Russian to unlock the smartphone and transfer the passwords. Some transfers had to be verified.
His girlfriend, who was with Boytsov, said that the service did not miss a transfer for such a large amount. To fulfill their plan, the kidnappers photographed a Russian citizen with a passport and sent the photo to the support service. After that, the hijackers left the villa, and the victims went to the local law enforcement officers to write a statement. The police managed to detain one of the alleged perpetrators – their faces were visible on video from surveillance cameras – but he denies his guilt. According to the detainee, the Russian is a swindler himself.

i'm sorry for the victim, who seems to be still unable to get his bitcoins, news of robberies like this have caused a stir several times because the thief did not want cash or other valuables from the victim but only targeted the victim's bitcoin.
there is no detailed explanation of how the thief could find out that the tourist has bitcoins, however, bitcoin ownership cannot tell it to other people because it is very sensitive and can provoke crime.
if you have already told other people the number of your bitcoins, you should make other reasons when people ask you about it again, crime can come from anyone and anywhere, so being suspicious is quite important.
