Share

A former FBI agent has been accused of stealing nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency from accounts being monitored by the agency. Patrick Yaroch allegedly committed the theft due to his frustration over the government's handling of cryptocurrency misuse, according to court documents.

Yaroch was a member of the FBI until he was fired, and authorities arrested him last week. When questioned by federal agents, Yaroch reportedly confessed to the crime. An agency spokesperson stated that the FBI holds its employees to the highest ethical standards and is conducting a thorough investigation into the matter.
