Is a guy carrying a 4.5-kilogram chocolate bar following you? He might be innocent but he might also be after your Bitcoin!

The court heard last year that three men conducted the home invasion in the town of Blantyre, southeast of Glasgow, and one repeatedly beat a woman at the property with a personalized Toblerone bar and threw her into a bedroom.
The victim, who isn’t named for legal reasons, testified that he awoke to find a man standing over him with a machete before he was forced to transfer Bitcoin.
The man who beat the woman then made a “throat-slitting gesture” with the bloodied Toblerone bar before all three fled.

This thing takes a top place in weird crypto robberies for sure.
