Do not post your Bitcoin holdings online. Amouranth (Kaitlyn Siragusa) faced a challenging lesson after publicly showing her Bitcoin assets on Twitch. Armed robbers invaded her home, demanding crypto after she admitted owning 211 Bitcoin worth $20 million.
With that much Bitcoin, she may need extra security after the March 2 attack left her and her husband fighting for their lives.
Bitcoin, kidnapping, and a narrow escape
The attack happened late at night when four armed men broke into Amouranth’s home. They beat her, held her at gunpoint, and demanded her crypto private keys. Fortunately, her husband was on speakerphone when it all went down.
The attackers, hoping to access her crypto, took the phone and tried to navigate through her apps. Meanwhile, her husband, watching the events unfold through security cameras, grabbed a gun and tried to figure out where the attackers were.
Never post how much Bitcoin you own. Ever.
Twitch streamer Amouranth shared a Coinbase screenshot last November showing she held 211 BTC, worth $20 million at the time.
This month, her home was invaded.
Here’s the footage:

Amouranth led the robbers around the house, convincing them to look for a cold storage device. When they lost focus during the search, she escaped to her waiting husband, who held a weapon.
At her point of safety on the upper floor, her husband discharged three shots, which managed to injure at least one of the intruders. The robbers abandoned the scene because they became scared when the police got too close.
Who Was Behind It?
Police later arrested four suspects, charging them with aggravated robbery and kidnapping. The suspects included:
- Dylan Nesho Campbell.
- Bryan Anthony Salazar Guerrero.
- Two unnamed teens (ages 16-17).
The attackers targeted Amouranth because of her Bitcoin wealth.

Crypto Holders Are Being Targeted
This isn’t an isolated case. Crypto kidnappings and extortion are becoming more common.
In January, a UK gang kidnapped and tortured a crypto investor for months to steal his funds.
Kidnappers abducted Ledger co-founder David Balland in France and held him for ransom.
With Bitcoin prices rising, criminals are actively hunting for wealthy holders. If you own crypto, keep it private—showing off online could make you a target.
This is David Balland.
He co-founded Ledger, one of the biggest companies in crypto
This week, he was kidnapped and tortured

Conclusion
The practice of revealing your Bitcoin possessions online often leads to criminal encounters. The disturbing incident should warn all crypto holders about protecting their wealth. Scammers can target anyone, even a well-known influencer with security cameras.
