Man Kidnapped At Gunpoint, Three “Youths” Steal $4 Million In Crypto!

100 Percent Fed Up
Hits: 2

In an absolutely WILD story, three “teenagers” have been accused of kidnapping a Las Vegas man at gunpoint, driving him 70 miles into the desert, and then stealing $4 million worth of crypto from him.

Take a look:

CoinTelegraph has more details:

Three teenagers have been accused of kidnapping a man at gunpoint after he was returning from a crypto event in Las Vegas, before driving him an hour outside of the city and robbing him of $4 million in crypto and non-fungible tokens.

According to police, the incident occurred last November. The victim had finished hosting a crypto-related event in downtown Las Vegas, and when he returned home, the suspects forced him into a vehicle and drove him to a remote desert area an hour away from the city.

There, they forced him to hand over passwords to his accounts, according to a May 10 report from Las Vegas local news outlet 8 News Now.

The man was allegedly told to comply with the teens’ demands if he wanted to “live to see another day,” and because they also “had his dad and would kill him,” according to the report.

It’s also alleged that a fourth person may have been communicating with the three young men through a phone call during the incident, which the victim could hear through a speakerphone.

After having his accounts drained of $4 million in crypto and NFTs, the victim reportedly walked five miles back through the desert to reach a gas station where he could call a friend for help.

Two 16-year-olds from Florida are facing charges including robbery, kidnapping, and extortion in connection with the incident. A third teen allegedly involved in the plot has left the country, prosecutors say.

One of the young men is behind bars with bail set at $4 million, while the other has been released under house arrest with electronic monitoring. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June, with both teens set to be tried as adults.

Digital asset lawyer Sasha Hodder said in a May 10 X post that this case illustrates how “Crypto theft is evolving. It’s not just social engineering or SIM swaps anymore.”

Local NBC8 had more details on how they stole the crypto:

The young men demanded the victim’s passwords and threatened him for access to his financial accounts, police said. It also appeared that another person was directly speaking to the young men through a phone call, which the victim could hear through a speakerphone.

Police suspect the three young men then drove the victim across the Nevada border to White Hills, Arizona — more than 70 miles and an hour’s drive from Las Vegas. The victim walked five miles alone in the desert to reach a gas station where he called a friend to pick him up, documents said.

Metro investigators later tracked a possible suspect vehicle traveling from Florida to Nevada, specifically including the locations of the victim’s apartment. In a separate vehicle stop in Mississippi, a gun involving a suspect’s family member matched one in one of the teenager’s social media profiles, police said.

The “teenagers” (doesn’t the MSM they usually call them “youths”?) reportedly looked like this:

It’s also far from the first time a kidnapping or even murder has been motivated by crypto theft.

Streamer Says She Was Held At Gunpoint For Her Crypto

As usual, I never like to just leave you with bad news and say “good luck, I hope this doesn’t happen to you!”

No, I actually have something you can do right now to MAKE SURE this never happens to you!

There’s a reason I’ve been talking so much about my new friends over at Caleb & Brown recently….because they solve this problem!

Holding your own crypto on a keychain is like advertising in giant neon letters ROB ME PLEASE!

If you ask me, it’s stupid.

It’s FAR smarter to get your crypto stored with Caleb & Brown so you get institutional-grade custody — safe, secure, insured and regulated.

And no one can kidnap you to get your passwords, because they’re not with you!  They’re stored safely in cold storage with multiple layers of security by Caleb & Brown.

Smart, right?

I’ve always got your back!

Here is more on how it works and why I strongly recommend you get an account opened up ASAP (it’s free):

FINALLY! Safe, Secure, Insured, Regulated Crypto…Here’s Exactly What You Need To Do

A couple days ago, I made a Special Announcement that I finally have a solution for all of you who have been asking for help in buying crypto SAFELY and SECURELY….and most importantly with the help of a human being!

Gee, what a novel concept right?

Each time I’ve talked about crypto over the last 5+ years, or had people like Bo Polny on my show, I inevitably get many of you writing to me to say you would love to dip your toe in the water and get some crypto, but it’s far too confusing and you don’t want to do it yourself and hope and trust that some random computer code stored on your phone or on a keychain somewhere will be safe when you need it.

I totally get it, I feel the same way.

Until recently, I didn’t have a good solution for you but now I do!

I now have a safe, secure, insured and highly-regulated solution for you that not only prioritizes safety and security but they also give you your very own personal broker assigned to you!

You can talk to them on the phone whenever you want, as much as you want (within reason I suppose).

You can call them, email them, and you’re always dealing with a HUMAN BEING!

But not a random human being either, it will be your dedicated broker, so they know you personally.  They build a relationship with you, and you with them.

How cool is that?

The company is called Caleb & Brown and the have a perfect 5.0 rating on Google:

Now for those of you who want to go DEEP, I’ve got you covered.

A bunch of you have emailed me in the past few days asking questions like “Are they registered in the USA?”  “How are they actually safe?”  “What security measures do they use to guarantee safety?”

I’m glad you asked!

Let’s go deep….

🔒 Security Practices

1. Institutional-Grade Custody (Fireblocks)

  • Caleb & Brown uses Fireblocks, a well-known digital asset security platform.

  • Fireblocks uses Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology, which fragments private keys and stores them securely across multiple parties.

  • This system has been widely adopted by banks and hedge funds for secure crypto storage.

    • 2. Proprietary Cold Storage

  • For assets not supported on Fireblocks, the company uses offline cold storage methods.

  • These are air-gapped, hardware-based systems to keep assets inaccessible from online threats.

  • Since inception, the firm has reported zero security breaches.

    • 3. Segregated Client Funds

  • Client crypto holdings are not pooled or lent out.

  • Caleb & Brown does not participate in DeFi lending, staking, or yield-generation schemes with client funds.

  • Each client has their holdings segregated from company assets, reducing counterparty risk.

    • 4. Secure Trading Infrastructure

  • Trades are routed through a secure aggregation platform that connects to global liquidity providers.

  • This ensures competitive pricing and minimizes slippage or execution risk.

  • All trade activities are monitored for suspicious behavior.

    • 🛡 Client Protection & Risk Management

    1. Personal Brokers

  • Every client is assigned a dedicated broker who facilitates transactions, provides market insights, and guides portfolio strategies.

  • This one-on-one model reduces the risk of operational error or fraud from impersonation.

    • 2. Transparent Fees

  • All trades are conducted with a fixed brokerage fee disclosed upfront.

  • No hidden fees, slippage costs, or overnight holding charges.

    • 3. Audit & Financial Oversight

  • The company undergoes independent annual audits to validate its financial health and proper handling of client assets.

    • 4. No Lending Policy

  • Unlike many exchanges or custodians, Caleb & Brown does not lend out your crypto.

  • This helps avoid the risks associated with counterparty default, as seen in other high-profile crypto collapses.

    • 🏛 Regulatory Compliance

    Australia

  • Caleb & Brown Pty Ltd is fully registered with AUSTRAC (Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre).

  • This includes compliance with Australia’s AML/CTF (Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing) laws.

  • The company actively engages with Australian Treasury consultations to promote consumer protection and clearer crypto regulations.

    • United States

  • Caleb and Brown Limited is registered with the National Multistate Licensing System (NMLS #2560370) and is in the process of obtaining money transmitter licenses in multiple U.S. states.

  • Their U.S. Terms of Service include binding arbitration clauses, adhering to U.S. consumer protection standards and regulatory best practices.

  • The company has structured its U.S. operations to follow local state laws regarding digital asset custody, taxation, and anti-money laundering.

    • Worldwide

  • The firm services over 100 countries and adapts its onboarding and compliance practices according to the jurisdiction of the client.

  • KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML checks are applied rigorously, and all client documentation is reviewed for international compliance.

  • Caleb & Brown does not operate in regions with prohibitions on digital asset trading or custody.

    • Nice, right?

    Here’s what I would encourage you to do right now…

    Go over to that page and create an account, it’s 100% free to create an account.

    Two reasons why…

    First, it’s free and it gets your foot in the door.  

    Caleb & Brown has over 35,000 customers in over 100 countries across the world, and they’re growing very fast.  While I don’t have any inside information to expect they might close or slow down registrations or put people on a wait list, I’ve seen that happen with fast-growing companies before, especially in crypto.

    Think about it, if everyone gets assigned a personal broker, there is eventually some limit where they need to slow down new accounts to make sure service levels remain high.

    So creating an account gets your foot in the door and it’s free.

    You don’t even have to fund the account right now, you can just create it.

    Second, that leads into the second big thing which is having your first call with your personal broker.

    Once you have an account, the broker that gets assigned to you is going to reach out and want to chat with you, get to know you.

    They’ll want to learn how familiar you are with crypto and how they can help you in your journey.

    It’s a long-term partnership and they want to kick it off on the right foot.

    They customize EVERYTHING to meet you where you are in your crypto journey.

    So create the account and have this first call.

    In fact, you can have as many calls and emails as you want with your broker as you go forward.

    They’ll answer your questions, show you market research, tell you what they think and what they see, and help you get comfortable moving forward with crypto.

    I think you’re really going to be impressed and blown away by the level of service they provide, even if they see you don’t have a single dollar in your account, they don’t care.  Service comes first.

    I am so confident in that that I’m asking everyone to create and account, have your first call or calls with your broker and then email me at noah (at) dailynoah (dot) com and tell me how it went!

    I think you’re going to be very pleasantly surprised and I want to hear about it.

    So create the account, get your foot in the door, have your first call or calls, and then email me with the results!

    Noah Christopher:

    Live from America’s heartland, this is the Daily Truth Report with your host, Noah Christopher.

    Hey, what’s up everybody?

    Hey, this is Noah and this is pretty unique. I don’t usually go live when it’s just me. I usually have a fun guest with me that I get to chat with.

    But today, right now, it’s just me because I have a special announcement for you, which I’m going to get into in just a minute. And I think you’re really going to like this.

    But let me know. Since I don’t have a guest here, it kind of feels like I’m talking to myself. So let me know if you can hear me okay, if I’m coming through.

    We are live on YouTube. We’re live on Rumble. And we’re live on Twitter/X. So I see a lot of people connected.

    But shoot me a comment wherever you’re watching. Let me know if you can see this okay and hear this okay. And then we’ll jump right in.

    And you know what? This is kind of fun. I’m usually so busy writing articles all day long that I’m just behind the keyboard and I don’t get out here and interact with everybody.

    So who knows? Maybe we’ll do this more often and we’ll just kind of turn it into a livestream and maybe more of an open chat and ask-me-anything kind of a thing.

    And we can just tackle whatever’s on people’s minds.

    Yeah. All right, let me check the comments here. Oh, there we go. Okay.

    Hello from Elaine! Awesome.

    And M.A. says thumbs up.

    Okay, so it looks like we’re connected on YouTube and Twitter. And Rumble comments are separate, so that one looks good too.

    Okay, well let me tell you what I’ve got for you today because I think you’re really going to like this.

    I’ve got a brand new announcement that you’re probably going to want to check out. It’s something I’ve just switched over to, and I think you’re going to love it.

    If you’ve been with me any period of time, you know I have Bo Polny on the show a lot and we talk a lot about gold, silver, crypto — you know, that’s Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum, stuff like that.

    And I always get a lot of comments. First of all, everybody loves Bo — and that’s awesome.

    But I get a lot of people who are very familiar with crypto. Maybe they’re like me — they’ve been buying and selling it since… well, since I’ve been doing it.

    But it is really complicated and complex — and scary sometimes — trying to make sure you don’t do it wrong.

    Make sure you don’t fall for scams.

    Make sure you don’t send your money or send your crypto to the wrong place.

    So one of the most frequent comments I get from people is:

    “Hey, thanks for having Bo on. I know crypto is the future in some way…”

    And I can’t give anyone financial advice, but I just kind of tell you what I’m doing and what’s interesting to me.

    And I have people on like Bo that tell you what he sees.

    But I hear from so many people that say:

    “You know, I get it. I know I need to start buying some crypto. I need to diversify a little bit — you know, even 1% or 5%. I know that probably makes sense. I can clearly see it’s the future. It’s coming.”

    Part of that future is here now, and part of that future is still coming.

    It’s starting to go into Wall Street and ETFs and stuff like that.

    But:

    “I’ve never bought a single anything in crypto. I’ve never bought any Bitcoin. I’ve never bought any XRP. I’d like to, but I just don’t know where to start. And I’m too intimidated by it to do anything.”
