FBI Agent Accused of Stealing $1 Million in Cryptocurrency from Foreigners

An FBI agent allegedly turned himself in for stealing about $1 million in cryptocurrency from foreigners who were being investigated by the agency. According to a Federal Bureau of Investigation affidavit filed with a district court in Virginia, Patrick Steven Yaroch contacted the Department of Justice last week to confess to making 'very poor decisions related to cryptocurrency wallets.'

The affidavit did not provide further details about the circumstances surrounding the theft or how long Yaroch had been involved in the alleged scheme. It is unclear what specific cryptocurrencies were stolen or if any arrests have been made.
