At the time of the theft, the amount was more than $6 million.<\/p>\n<p>According to CryptoPotato, citing Israeli media, Zard was a regular guest at his friend&#8217;s home and could enter there freely in the owner&#8217;s absence. Law enforcement established that he breached the victim&#8217;s computer and gained access to a wallet containing 75,000 DASH.<\/p>\n<p>Zard denied all charges and refused to disclose passwords to his devices. As a result, authorities were unable to seize the stolen property.<\/p>\n<p>The court found him guilty of hacking devices, money laundering, fraud, and aggravated theft.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors had sought at least 12 years in prison for Zard. However, the court sentenced him to eight years in prison, a $1.5 million fine, and about $80,000 in compensation to the victim.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, a former employee of the New Zealand bitcoin exchange Cryptopia <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/former-cryptopia-employee-pleads-guilty-to-stealing-more-than-170000-in-cryptocurrency\">admitted to embezzling over $170,000 in cryptocurrency<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Read ForkLog\u2019s Bitcoin news on our <a href=\"\/\/telegram.me\/forklog\" target=\"\u201c_blank\u201d\" rel=\"\u201cnofollow\u201d noopener\">Telegram<\/a> \u2014 cryptocurrency news, prices and analytics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Israeli court has found local resident Afek Zard guilty of stealing 75,000 DASH from his friend.
