Ive googled that, and there are some crypto online papers that have published the news, but Ive googled adding Daily Post, which is supposed to be the source, and nothing appears. I dont know if one published the bait and the rest eat it or the Daily Post published it but for some reason it doesnt appear in the search.

The OP's article's source isn't the popular UK Daily Post itself, but a local Californian Daily Post:

According to a report in a local newspaper [California], Daily Post published on 15th August, a 25-year-old Serbian-Italian national Martin Marsich was asked to pay for his bail in Bitcoin BTC or any other cryptocurrencies, at the San Francisco Federal Court, after being arrested for hacking a video game company.

I found the source article (Palo Alto Daily Post) though I have no idea why they don't simply link their sources. Here it is:

I also realize that the first bitcoin.com link I've posted earlier in the thread wasn't exactly convincing, so I tried to look for a few more reputable (or well known, at least) sources:

https://www.cnet.com/news/judge-sets-bail-at-750k-in-cryptocurrency-for-alleged-ea-hacker/
https://www.kotaku.com.au/2018/08/judge-orders-alleged-ea-games-hacker-to-pay-1-million-bail-in-cryptocurrency/ (1 million AUD for the skeptics lol)

I'm glad that everyone is on guard against fake news especially with baffling pieces like this, but it really looks like this happened. Shout outs to the criminals in here lol.
