In a daring plot, two California high school students, 16 and 17, disguised themselves as FedEx delivery drivers and stormed into a Scottsdale, Arizona home, aiming to steal a whopping $66 million in digital assets. But things didn't go as planned.
The Heist Unfolds:
600-mile road trip from California to Arizona
FedEx-style uniforms and a convincing act
Forced entry, restraint, and assault
Victims' crypto holdings were the target
The Busted Plan:
An adult son called 911, cops responded quickly
Teens fled in a blue Subaru, but were soon caught
Evidence: delivery uniforms, zip ties, duct tape, and a 3D-printed gun
The Bigger Picture:
The teens claim they were recruited by mysterious figures "Red" and "8" via Signal
A growing trend of "wrench attacks" targeting crypto owners
Data breaches are making it easier for thieves to strike
The Aftermath:
Teens face 8 felony charges each, to be tried as adults
Released on $50,000 bail with ankle monitors
The question remains: were they masterminds or just dupes in a bigger game? 🤔
