FBI Agent Accused of Stealing $1M in Cryptocurrency Amid Government Inaction
A former FBI agent has been accused of stealing nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency from accounts being monitored by the agency.
Patrick Yaroch, who was fired from his position at the FBI, allegedly took the funds due to frustration with the government's inaction regarding the misuse of cryptocurrency accounts, according to court documents.
Court documents also reveal that Yaroch confessed when federal agents questioned him.
The FBI has stated that it holds its employees to the highest ethical standards and is conducting a thorough investigation into the matter.
