The victim was approached on the street by the two individuals who immediately resorted to violence, striking him on the head. They demanded the transfer of USDT stablecoins into their account. To add insult to injury, the criminals also seized the victim’s Swiss Rolex watch.
The financial loss resulting from this incident amounts to $46,000 (3.6 million rubles). Authorities dispatched a team of investigators and dog handlers to the crime scene in hopes of apprehending the culprits, but they remain at large.
Interestingly, local social networks are buzzing with rumors, asserting that the victim was associated with a financial pyramid scheme, enticing potential investors with promises of lucrative returns. Now, individuals are urging the victim to return the funds allegedly attributed to him.
This incident follows another recent case in which the Kirovsky District Court of Rostov sentenced a man to eight years in prison for stealing 5 million rubles during a cryptocurrency transaction.
