Federal prosecutors charged three Missouri men with plotting in 2024 to break into a Connecticut home and force the occupant to turn over stolen Bitcoin. As Cryptopolitan reported earlier, a resident of Washington, D.C., was scammed out of 4,100 Bitcoin, worth about $245 million, via a social-engineering scam perpetrated by Veer Chetal and two others who posed as support personnel for Google and a crypto-exchange. Guilty pleas mount as crypto attacks keep risingSeveral people connected with the case have entered guilty pleas. Adam Iza, a 25-year-old businessman from California known as “The Godfather,” pleaded guilty in June to the same Hobbs Act conspiracy and is scheduled to be sentenced on August 12, reported Cryptopolitan. The six Florida men involved in the kidnapping have also pleaded guilty, and two have already received sentences of 11 years.
