Three men from St. Louis have been federally indicted in Connecticut for their involvement in a kidnapping plot to rob a teenager who was linked to a $245 million Bitcoin theft.

The indictment, which was announced on August 5, 2026, alleges that the three men planned to kidnap and rob the teenager, who had been involved in the massive Bitcoin heist.

The case is significant because it highlights the ongoing threat of cybercrime and the need for law enforcement agencies to work together across state lines to bring perpetrators to justice.
