In Moscow, the founder of a financial company has fallen victim to a robbery, losing cryptocurrency in the process. This was reported by Izvestia, citing sources.

According to the informant, in the early hours of January 20, two unidentified individuals broke into the entrepreneur’s apartment. They assaulted him and, threatening with a gun, demanded he transfer cryptocurrency worth $46,000. The assailants also stole a Rolex watch.
