Crypto thefts are increasing which should make know the reason privacy is very important. According to police, this happened in November of last year. They were three teens which kidnapped someone who just finished hosting a crypto-related event in downtown Las Vegas. They told the person that they have also kidnapped his father as they want him to give them his account password.
They stole $4 million worth of coins and NFTs from him. Two of the teens has been arrested while one was said to have been out of the country. One of the two arrested was bailed with $4 million while the second person was given house arrest. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June, with both teens set to be tried as adults.

We all want to create awareness I get it but now that the world knows what crypto is all about it will be very ugly soon, I am not surprised, I've tried to confuse many people about Bitcoin and now I regret it, because when we meet again these set of people will be looking at me as if I have all the money in the world in my pocket.
Don't ever think it can't happen to you, I am taken more precaution measures and I turned into my defensive mode when I smell something fishy, I don't even want to be around people when they talk about crypto anymore unless it's in my private space or same set of people that are into crypto just like myself.
