Teenagers kidnapped a millionaire, stole cryptocurrency in Arizona
Three teenagers are facing adult charges for allegedly kidnapping a cryptocurrency millionaire and stealing $4 million in digital assets. The victim was held at gunpoint and forced to transfer his funds. The suspects, 16-year-olds Austin Fletcher and Belal Ashraf, reportedly ambushed the victim after a cryptocurrency event in Las Vegas. They drove him to the Arizona desert, threatening his life to obtain his passwords. The third suspect, who is no longer in the U.S., may have attended high school with the other two. Fletcher's bail was set at $4 million, while Ashraf was released with electronic monitoring.
