Hey dear Steemians!
I want to share this story with everyone so more people could protect themselves from situations that could put your life and those close to you in danger. Cryptocurrencies are on the list of criminals for some time now, but now they don't want to just use it for their activities, they want to take it from us as well. In the last 6 months we saw some other cases, kidnaps and other attacks in the crypto community.
Oxford, England - Moulsford
A few minutes before 10:00AM four armed robbers broke into a million dollar house owned by a known cryptocurrency trader Danny Astron. Tied up his girlfriend Amy Jay, took their baby, and demanded all Danny's crypto assets to be transfered to an unknown address while pointing a gun at him.
Its still unknown how much Bitcoin and other currencies he had to transfer.

Danny's statement: "All I saw was 4 men, wearing black pants and hoodies. Running on the other side of the street. I did not see a gun at that point."
Final Word
Luckley nobody got hurt, we can see these people are ready to take things to extreme measures tho, just to get that BTC. I'm pretty sure one doesn't need millions to become a target so make sure to stay on the low - HOW MUCH YOU HODL! I know lots of people don't care and post stuff on Youtube, BIG mistake in my opinion. Its great that people get knowledge from videos and stuff but how much is one worth should be a private thing, right?
Don't you just love STEEM wallets:)
Stay safe!
