Federal prosecutors have filed motions to detain two Missouri men accused of conspiring to rob millions in cryptocurrency from a Danbury man after kidnapping his parents.

The suspects, Sedrick Louis, 32, John Davis, 34, and Martel Williams, 27, all of St. Louis, each face a charge of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, according to U.S. District Attorney for Connecticut David X. Sullivan.

The charges are connected to an August 2024 scheme to kidnap a Danbury couple whose son, Veer Chetal, pleaded guilty last year to his role in a $245 million Bitcoin theft.

Sullivan stated that the Missouri men traveled to Connecticut at the direction of the scheme's masterminds, stalking Chetal and his parents for two days before leaving without carrying out the kidnapping.
