A 30-year-old man from Montgomery County confessed to law enforcement, when they followed a trail that ended at his home, claiming that he was behind one of the largest digital currency heists.

According to Theodore Price of Hatfield, he informed a local detective and a Homeland Security agent, who were investigating a burglary at Bucks County, that he undertook the virtual heist after writing the software to steal the tens of millions of dollars worth in bitcoin. He said had had purchased stolen personal information and credit card numbers from a dark web store using bitcoin."
