FBI Agent Accused of Stealing Nearly $1M in Cryptocurrency
A former FBI agent has been accused of stealing nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency from accounts being monitored by the FBI. According to court documents, Patrick Yaroch claimed he stole the funds due to his frustration with the government's lack of action regarding the misuse of cryptocurrency accounts.
The FBI fired Yaroch and authorities arrested him last week after federal agents questioned him and he allegedly confessed. The agency has stated that it holds its employees to the highest ethical standards and is conducting a thorough investigation.
