Shit, this is sad news. RIP good man!
Let this be a lesson guys, if you hold a big amount of bitcoins don't go parading telling everyone about it because there are lunatics everywhere and will do anything for drugs or whatever it is they want.

Holy shit, this is insane: http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20150113/long-island-city/bitcoin-trader-accused-of-murder-was-tied-up-coerced-sell-stocks-daKEW GARDENS — A Bitcoin trader charged with murder Tuesday beat his roommate to death with a hammer after being tied up and forced to liquidate his stocks, he told police.
Quentin Capobianco, 18, told police that his lawyer roommate, Jesse Smith, 29, had tied him up with duct tape and zip ties in their upscale Astoria apartment on Monday, and ordered him at gunpoint to sell his assets.
Capobianco told police at least one other person besides Smith was involved in the act.
The Queens District Attorney's office believes Capobianco's account but still hopes to convict him of murder because he escaped his bindings and went to another room where he snatched a hammer and clobbered Smith, his captor and business partner.
“I grabbed the hammer from the kitchen and hit Jessie three or four times until he was unconscious,” Capobianco told the police.
Capobianco and Smith ran a currency exchange business centered around Bitcoin, an online currency, according to government records and Bitcoin sites.
Sources told DNAinfo New York that Smith had argued with the young trader over damage done to the apartment in the Exo building at 26-28 21st St. about 3:30 p.m. Monday before tying him up.
Capobianco's lawyer Ronald Bekoff said it was too early to comment further on his client’s case, although he confirmed that the 18-year-old had a black eye — though he couldn't say how he got it.
Capobianco was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon at Queens Criminal Court in Kew Gardens. Judge Elisa Koenderman ordered him held on $250,000 bond. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=889040.0Up to 20btc available as of writing. Call Either Jesse at 516 974 4477 or Quentin at 212 390 8093 if you want to make a deal. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=400875;sa=showPostsThis is extremely tragic news. All holders and users of bitcoin are subject to the exact same rules of society that anyone else is, and criminal actions must be addressed with very strong consequences.

That wouldn't have changed anything. They were business partners so they had to have known the approximate amounts of personal assets they had.

What are you going to do when someone comes into your home, ties you up and attempts to kill you? When you escape do you think you are jsut going to waltz out of the apartment?
In this particular instance? That's exactly what I'd do. If he could break free of his restraints, make it to the kitchen, grab a hammer and come back to kill his attacker without getting shot then he obviously wasn't in as much danger as you think he was in. He would have been better off leaving the apartment and calling the police, holding someone at gunpoint is a serious enough crime that he'd probably be safe for at least several years. I'm all for self defense, I keep a gun, a crossbow and several knives and swords where I can reach them if I ever need them and I wouldn't hesitate to use them against an armed attacker if I thought it was the only way to save my own life. That being said, if I can safely get away from my attacker (which was clearly the case here) I have absolutely no right to come back and kill him later. Yes, but they still intend to charge him of murder, not manslaughter.
As they should. He clearly could have (and in fact, did) gotten away from his attacker safely and he made the conscious decision, instead of running away and calling the police, to grab a weapon and come back and use that weapon. How anyone can argue that it was self defense or even voluntary or involuntary manslaughter is beyond me, it's clearly premeditated murder. Indeed this story is quite odd. If the man had time to get away(which also makes no sense since he claims he was tied up), then he would definitely have time to run out of the door and find safety, instead of finding a hammer and killing the guy. It all sounds like it was premeditated.
