Rock Star's Family Murdered Over $1.5M Bitcoin Wallet
Jonathan Meléndez, a member of the Mexican rock band Camilo Séptimo, and his family were brutally murdered in an attack linked to their $1.5 million Bitcoin hardware wallet.
The suspects, including an associate who knew about the crypto holdings, were arrested within 12 hours and face up to 70 years in prison per victim.
This case highlights the growing danger of crypto-related violent crimes, known as wrench attacks, as cryptocurrencies become more widely used for savings and payments globally.
