Mexican Musician's Family Slaughtered Over $1.5 Million Bitcoin Stash

Mexico's latest crime wave has claimed another victim - this time, it's a musician and his family.

Jonathan Meléndez, a member of the Mexican rock band Camilo Séptimo, was found dead along with his pregnant wife, their three-year-old daughter, and their housemaid in Atizapán, Mexico on September 1.

The killings were tied to $1.5 million worth of Bitcoin that Meléndez kept in a hardware wallet at the home.

According to investigators, the attack was a 'wrench attack,' where someone is targeted specifically because of known crypto holdings rather than through digital hacking.
