A former FBI agent is facing serious allegations of stealing nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency from accounts being monitored by the agency.

Court documents revealed that Patrick Yaroch allegedly stole the funds due to his frustration with the government's inaction regarding the misuse of cryptocurrency accounts, according to court documents. This alleged motive was cited as one reason why he committed the crime, which also involved a breach of trust and possibly even complicity in ongoing investigations.

The FBI fired Yaroch after discovering the alleged theft and authorities arrested him last week. An agency spokesperson stated that the FBI holds its employees to the highest ethical standards and is conducting a thorough investigation into the matter.
