The development of the crypto sphere is attracting more and more criminals. If cryptocurrency attacks were frequently online, the case of this crypto-billionaire Norwegian would be alarming .

Under the threat of a gun


The general manager and owner of a Norwegian cryptocompany reportedly received an unexpected visitor in his apartment in Oslo.

As soon as he opened the door, he would have been confronted with his visitor's shotgun barrel, which would have threatened to shoot him if he did not go to bed.

Fortunately, no shot was fired. Also, the victim was able to escape his executioner by throwing himself from the balcony of his apartment, which was located on the second floor. In its fall, the billionaire suffered serious aftermath

The hearing for this case is scheduled for October 17 and 18 next.


Crypto-billionaires are the baits of criminals


Although the victim wants to remain anonymous so as not to lose sight of the case, it seems that this home attack has attracted significant public attention, because of its significant financial success in terms of cryptocurrencies.

Apparently, the victim would have amassed a big fortune, which would have reached NOK 100 million, or $ 11.2 million, thanks to his ten years of activity in the crypto sphere.

Incidentally, this type of incident, although rare, is not an isolated case in the crypto sphere.

Earlier this month, another leader of a $ 62.5 million Bitcoin investment project was reportedly tortured to death by five individuals.

In addition, last year, a Russian investor and a cryptocurrency blogger were murdered in Saint Petersburg by masked attackers. He was easy prey for criminals, after boasting about his fortune from his crypto-activities.
