 Two British Bitcoin traders became the victims of what local media outlets are calling the “UK’s first Bitcoin heist” after they were robbed at gunpoint by masked men and forced to transfer an undisclosed amount of cryptocurrency to the criminals’ accounts.
The incident — which took place on Jan. 22 — occurred in the tiny village of Moulsford, Oxfordshire, where cryptocurrency trader Danny Aston and his girlfriend, Amy Jay, lived with their infant.

this is just ridiculous. those guys have no soul!!!!
this reminds you to never tell anyone how much you have in crypto even your friends. you can trust your friend but maybe he tells someone en he makes you a target. keep everything to yourself, it's safer that way
