Entschuldigen Sie die Moderatoren, wenn dies nicht die richtige Etikette ist. Über die Nachrichten … Was schützt Sie in diesen Fällen? Ich meine, wenn der Typ gezwungen worden wäre, seinen Bankdaten zu geben, würde ich mir vorstellen, dass die Bank das Geld verfolgen und es zurückgeben würde. Aber … in diesem Fall? Übrigens hatte er auch Gold. Gleicher Fall.
Ich kenne mich nicht sehr über den Kryptowährungsaustausch, aber ich bezweifle, dass sie das überhaupt abdecken, oder?
Also, worum geht es? Ich meine, es ist, als würde man mit deinem Geld unter deiner Matratze schlafen. Sie verlassen sich auf Glück, um zu sehen, ob jemand einbricht und Sie eines Tages beraubt.
Jetzt fällt mir etwas in den Sinn … gab es noch ein massives Leck vor einiger Zeit von Bitcoin -Besitzern und ihren Adressen?

> What protects you in these cases?
Nothing.
This is why crypto sucks as a „financial system.“ You can only do this to someone with crypto and cash, and most people are smart enough to not have too much cash on their person or at home.
The trick is to not be an idiot with your opsec…
And nit store your shit at Home obviously
tldr; Spanish businessman Álvaro Romillo, known as ‚Criptospain,‘ reported being a victim of a violent robbery at his Madrid home, where five assailants forced him to transfer 1.2 million euros in cryptocurrencies. This incident adds to Romillo’s ongoing legal troubles, including allegations of funding a political campaign and involvement in a pyramid scheme. Authorities are investigating the robbery, which has raised concerns about cryptocurrency security and its potential for exploitation. The case highlights the intersection of finance, crime, and politics.

This is why I would never own any cryptocurrency.
When your home is broken into and your own life at danger, the money is the least thing you should worry about.
Maybe don’t broadcast online that you’re holding a bunch of crypto and identifiable information. If you take even the briefest moment to look into this guy, you’ll see he painted a big target on his back.
The future of finance
Probably a good idea to have some kind of protection. Perhaps a Puerto Rican credit card.
Not owning any. Not talking about owning any. Not having information about how much you have. Splitting wallets. Having different layers of private key + passphrase aka bait-wallets. Splitting the seed. Putting stuff in bank vault. Setting up multi-sig wallets. Having private security and defense mechanisms depending on the country you live in. Having a panic room where you can lock yourself in. Ensuring where you live is not publicy known, using PO boxes. Not telling your wife / friends / twitter followers about your opsec. Or you be like me, you sell everything you have in bear market, act as you did not, robbers find out you paperhanded and are so sad for you they get you a pizza.
If you’re that worried (or stupid about security) just open a new account on an exchange that you put some shit coin dust in and login and show the bad guys…here’s my crypto. (000000001 of AMP I got for answering stupid questions).
Anyone that knows anything about this shady, shady guy knows, or at the very least has a big hint that this “robbery” was very likely a false flag fake police complaint to avoid having to hand out the money to the authorities.
> What protects you in these cases?
You. You protect yourself. Again, entire point of Bitcoin, entire point of being your own bank, that’s a warning. Means *you* have to handle opsec, *you* have to be careful with your own information, *you* have to handle security, *you* have to make sure you’re not known for having crypto, *you* have to make sure you’re not running pyramid schemes.
> By the way, he also had gold. Same case.
If he had gold bars laying around his house, they’re gone in the same way unprotected crypto is. They’ll get melted down and resold.
> I mean, it’s like sleeping with your money under your mattress.
If you literally keep your seed phrase on your desk and your password is „password“ I guess. However, there’s a *reason* almost everyone in crypto for any real amount of time is incredibly paranoid, and that’s because you’re responsible for protecting your seed phrases. It’s also a reason you don’t keep a bunch of cash in bags lying around your house, come on. lol. You protect your wealth according to how much you have.
> You’re relying on luck to see if someone breaks in and robs you one day.
If someone breaks in and robs you, you’re SOL anyways. If you tell them you don’t have money or you don’t have crypto, they’re going to get just as angry at you and probably kill you anyways, so this has nothing to do with crypto at all. In this case, this guy broadcast to the world that he owns a bunch of it so he’s just a moron like [this idiot who was trying to mess with the argentinian mob](https://people.com/crypto-millionaire-found-dead-dismembered-in-suitcase-argentina-7566887) while he was posting on instagram about him riding in his lambos.
> Now, something’s coming to mind… wasn’t there a massive leak some time ago of Bitcoin owners and their addresses?
If you own a substantial amount of Bitcoin and you’ve got it on a hot wallet on your desktop, and the password is your name, then again, you’re a moron. Any substantial amount of money shouldn’t be able to be accessed from your house with a taped note underneath your desk, it should be protected. You know, like a bank would do.
this guy is an scammer who financed illegally an alt right party that was a disaster.
The robbery is not because he has crypto, lol, it’s probably because their shady business
Theres no people with a significant amount of crypto that can just access it from theyr phone
If someone breaks in to my home in the middle of the night, we have 2 big ass German shepherds. And a benelli m4. But this is why you don’t talk about crypto on public forums
>By the way, he also had gold. Same case.
Yup. Welcome to wildcat banking. If you’re going to leave FDIC territory, it’s worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the risks.
