there is no detailed explanation of how the thief could find out that the tourist has bitcoins

It wasn't a rocket science really as this guy is crypto "entrepeneur" so it was safe to assume that has some crypto. Just another proof how dangerous is to let everyone know that you are into crypto and I am susprised that we are not seeing more $5 dollar wrench attack cases like this.

Maybe this is the same as someone who flaunts their wealth into the world- you have this hanging sword of Damocles at your back when this happens. Like what they say, if you have such wealth, you must also have the responsibility of ensuring and protecting your safety as anyone can definitely harass you, especially what happened to this guy.

Then again, he might got what he deserves as he seems like a scammer that got robbed. Karma is a bitch.

I definitely agree. Though I do not want to glorify acts of violence, I do think that he got what he deserved especially that he is known to promise guaranteed profit to users. Sounds like he is organizing a ponzi-scheme where he defrauds people into his projects.

Whether it is cryptocurrency or fiat, such action is dangerous. It is like welcoming the bad guys or challenging them to charge at you. We will never know who has bad intentions until such thing happen. It is better be preventive and with wealth, being secretive would be a good thing to do. But most of the users are right; never blame the victim. If someone is bad, he will do things no matter how you try to hide something from them. Such thing for sure happens on a daily basis. In my country, there was a city wherein news related to this topic made noise last year but the offenders are people with authority. It was not officially broadcasted which somehow makes it sketchy but looking at possibility, such thing may really happen.
