Hong Kong hotel stages 'real-life escape room', 25-year-old boss beaten and forced to hand over password, 680,000 cryptocurrency + 42 kilograms of silver stolen
The 25-year-old mainland boss thought he was going to Hong Kong Hung Hom Hotel for business, but as soon as he entered, he was directly 'locked up' by four mainland strongmen, experiencing illegal confinement and violent beating in one go, striking with surprise.
These robbers really understand the crypto world, they don’t rob cash or phones, but immediately demand the cryptocurrency wallet password, moving incredibly fast, directly transferring away $680,000 worth of coins, equivalent to over 5 million Hong Kong dollars, not leaving a cent behind.
What’s even more outrageous is that after robbing the digital assets, they were still not satisfied, and forced the boss to go to the company to move goods, directly taking away 42 kilograms of silver, which is the weight of an adult elementary school student, a pure 'physical + digital' dual robbery, totaling losses of over 6 million Hong Kong dollars, leaving the boss with nothing and beaten black and blue, with injuries all over his face, arms, and calves.
After being released with great difficulty in the early morning, he reported to the police immediately, and the case is now handled by the Kowloon City Major Crimes Unit, involving illegal confinement and extortion, definitely a serious crime, these people can't escape!

1. Offline transactions = running naked: Don’t believe in what 'face-to-face is the safest', in the crypto world $BTC , meeting offline is equivalent to handing over your life, bad people specifically target crypto bosses for kidnapping and extortion, once they press for the password, the assets vanish in seconds, even worse than online hacking.
2. Bad guys know crypto better than you: Nowadays, robbers have evolved, they don’t steal cash but cryptocurrencies, transfers are fast and hard to trace, and they also seize physical hard currency, emphasizing 'no useless work', professionalism is at its peak.
3. Keeping a low profile is the most important for survival: Making money in the crypto world doesn’t mean flaunting wealth, don’t easily expose assets or offline meeting addresses, what you think is business talk, in the eyes of bad people, you are just a walking 'ATM + password book'.
Lastly, a word of caution, there are risks in the crypto world, cashing out requires caution, don’t lose money before you earn it, safety is always more important than getting rich quickly!
