Its really painful such things are happening. The truth is we don't know the mind of people, thus we have to be very mindful of who we tell we posse Bitcoins. There are people who will go the extra mile to extra our bitcoin details from us. We just have to be careful out there.

This is really bad. I advise if you have much bitcoin dont ever say in it public
No one is stupid enough to say that they own a certain number of Bitcoins in the public. But the tax regulations and laws in certain countries requires you to divulge about your crypto holdings to the authorities. And once your information is loaded to the public servers, normally it won't take much time for that data to end up in the hands of shady people. |

This is very alarming to all people who trade cryptocurrency out there. Do not share your personal profit amount and always secure your private keys. Sharing to other people that you are in trading is not advisable. This news will represent a warning to all of us who trades crypto.

That's what we all should be ready to do if we want to avoid what happen to guy. Some person will always say much of what they have and owe, even the one they did't. Sometime is better to be secretive than be open to dangers with friends. |

KYC must be banned to all cryptocurrency it can be a way for us to have another victim again.
I wonder whose this trader is, for sure he/she has an account here in BCT.

And once your information is loaded to the public servers, normally it won't take much time for that data to end up in the hands of shady people. hacking tax authority servers just to rob crypto traders? that sounds a bit elaborate. plenty of people are stupid enough to boast about their crypto holdings in public---this isn't the first time this type of thing has happened. like others have mentioned, this is why i am very discreet in public about my involvement with bitcoin and primarily only discuss it with trusted friends/family. bitcoin=electronic cash, so obviously if violent criminals know you have access to bitcoin, you have a target on your back. plan accordingly and maybe don't go around flashing hardware wallets or slapping bitcoin stickers on your laptop. |

A crypto trader from the Netherlands had been brutally tortured in front of his 4-year-old daughter, by 3 suspects disguised as police. The investigator suspected that the criminals stole some private keys, passwords that transferred the victim's fund to the suspect's wallet. How could the criminal know his a trader and identity, location? Could this be an inside job? More information here: Even initially i dint think about that but how these people get to know about his wallet address . There is a chances of somebidy close to him might give information . Now onwards i never share my crypto holding details to anyone . Even publicly i dont give my wallet addresses. |

This is the main reason why I don't say to anyone what I'm doing with regards to cryptocurrency. I don't want this to happen to me.
Maybe this trader shared some information on the internet like personal information, how he is earning in trading etc. I suggest not to share any information regarding this to social media platforms because you don't know what can happen to you after doing it.

Don't believe the victim has an account with Bitcointalk.org. There is a clear indication that the victim boast of his/her portfolios in Bitcoin. Never speak out of your portfolios to your neighbors becasue they might be your enemies. |

Quite the opposite, there are a ton of public crypto figures that are boasting about their wealth. Same thing goes for anyone rich, people love to show off. The chance of getting physically tortured is still very small but people like to make it seem more likely than it really is. |

People are such creatures that they want to appear better than others. And that they have more than others because they boast. And then from the same tolerate. |

Of course, you all are right in saying that need to talk less about cryptocurrency earnings. But on the other hand, how can we spread the word about crypto for its large-scale adoption if we are silent?

In order to spread awareness about the crypto-currency, you need to talk about its advantages and merits. Why do you think that you need to talk about how many coins you own, for this purpose? You can give examples of users who became rich after investing in crypto, but there is no need to give absolute numbers. |

You can give examples of users who became rich after investing in crypto, but there is no need to give absolute numbers. showing some numbers or showing some proof (ex. your reciept ) can make you look more believable than explaining bitcoin alone but you should be careful on which person you are talking to . only do this method to someone that you fully trusted or recognize ( ex. your close friend or family ) so that you can be safe from theft and being tortured like what happen on the story of the op . |

This is quite sad. This is the exact reason why i disagree with the idea of KYC presented by most crypto exchange platforms. Your identity can be easily stolen and people can easily harm you with your stolen identity. Once these platforms securities are broken, identities are easily stolen.

More information here: This is why you have to seperate our wallet into pieces if we have a big amount of cryptocurrency in it. The criminals will aim the big wallet and track every transaction made and will get our information in real life. Stay careful. |

in my opinion it is the actions of insiders namely people who already know the daily activities of victims or you can also get information about the victim's identity from KYC. so we should always be careful. and it's best if we work in cryptocurrency we don't use attributes or clothing that says bitcoin or cryptocurrency. it will make us the target of evil people.

There are so many possibilities that can occur in this case, they can know each other through social media or community, or they are family or close friends. In my opinion, the police must be able to find the perpetrators and find out the motives for the murder of the perpetrators as soon as possible.

This is indeed an inside job either from one of his friends or one of the sites where he use KYC and they use this information in order to find him.If its one of his friends then pretty sure it is caused by jealous if he is a big trader and earning good amounts or just have bad intention to him

That could be one of the main reason why the bitcoin trader gets tortured, money is the root of all evil and that is why we should avoid spitting some of our personal information like our income to our friends or even family members because jealousy can hit them and it might turn into some evil thing that will cost you life. |
