Three teenagers are accused of kidnapping a man who had hosted a cryptocurrency event in Las Vegas. They drove him out to the desert and forced him to transfer $4 million in cryptocurrency and NFTs at gunpoint.

5 dollar wrench attack in the wild. Always has been. Few.
I don't know what gun laws are in Nevada, but I also wouldn't give a shit. Concealed is concealed. If you're going to the conference later, stay strapped, stay safe.
So he scammed those teeneragers into Shiatcoins and nfts?
Don’t know if these conferences are a good idea anymore… putting a target on your back. Time to blend in..

Sounds like you and Peter Todd having a regular afternoon at Core.
Wow, so to make this robbery possible, the guy owning $4 million pobably did not use a hardware login token and a pw manager and a hw wallet (did not own his keys). Basically carrying $4 million on his person, and still "smart" enough to host a cryptocurrency event.
This guy was very lucky he's still alive and the kids must have been able to gather enough info from the guy ('s presentation?) to assume his securty to be this bad to pull this one off.
gross, why would anyone want an NFT
They could’ve just done a copy paste job
Could happen to anyone even the attendees. I said once and I'd say again. If you have an urge going to digital assets meetup or a conference. Dress like a security, janitor or a cleaning personnel and pretend you're just that. You'll have much higher chance to get back home safely.
Doesn’t the bloke chain mean the crypto is always traceable back to its previous owners? How are these criminals ever going to clean the $4m to be able to use it?
Do you prefer to have a finger cut ?

You will soon have to care about your safety.
Or stay the most anonymous as you can.

If the state is against sovereign money then those in charge of justice will look the other way, perform the bare minimum, or get in the way.
