An armed robber, disguised as a UPS delivery worker, gained entry to a San Francisco home belonging to tech investor Joshua, who was residing with Lachy Groom (formerly Sam Altman's partner), and stole $11 million in Ethereum and Bitcoin. The suspect subdued Joshua, tied him up, assaulted him, and forced him to unlock his crypto wallets during a 90-minute ordeal before fleeing with the digital assets, a phone, and a laptop. This incident highlights a growing global trend of violent 'wrench attacks' targeting cryptocurrency holders, often orchestrated by organized crime groups who use social media to profile wealthy victims. Experts warn that self-custody becomes risky when criminals use physical force, urging users to enhance security and limit public displays of wealth.
