11 Israelis visiting Costa Rica were attacked by 8 men who overpowered their security guard and robbed them of $700,000 worth of bitcoin. Analysis of surveillance footage leads investigators to suspect the robbers are current or former police.
If true, this wouldn't be the first time corrupt cops have wrench attacked Bitcoiners. 2 Vietnamese cops and 5 accomplices were charged for a wrench attack in 2021.
Nothing says "Come and take my coins" like a bunch of gringos in a Latin-American country showing they have coins. Honestly guys, keep a low profile, specially when you're abroad.
They were probably trying to occupy and steal Costa Rican lands.
Would not be surprised.
Big groups of Israeli guys usually from the army are a common sight in the Caribbean. They're usually noisy and annoying so no surprise this happens.
You should see what they do in Palestine, they're much worse there.

I like what I see. Wealth distribution in action. Something isn't kosher anyways. Who's having that much bitcoin when on vacation? Probably Israeli scammers at large...
So ~$70k in cash per person? Seems sus. Seems like an investigation is in order.

Uhh, guys...
Wasn't there a Nostr conference there?
Why not rob the shit out of cunts back then?
"actividad social" 😅
How did they know they had BTC?
Bad opsec or ??
On a long enough time line all Bitcoiners will find out why other Bitcoiners created Monero for them.
Costa Rica yeah man it’s great down there, super safe and so chill. Yeah party on Wayne, party on Garth.
police is always and everywhere a bunch of coward sadists
