Jan 17, 2025, 01:55 PM
The FBI has arrested four armed men who plotted to kidnap a Miami jeweler and steal $2 million in cryptocurrency. The suspects, referred to as 'goons', were unaware that an informant was part of their group chat, which ultimately led to their capture. The ringleader communicated via text messages, indicating a plan that involved not harming the jeweler but simply taking him for the heist. The FBI managed to thwart the abduction attempt, which was organized through Telegram, and set a trap for the suspects, who were armed and prepared for the crime. The operation highlights the increasing intersection of organized crime and cryptocurrency theft.
