Deep Tide TechFlow news, Nov. 9: According to BeInCrypto, crypto investor Evan Luthra confirmed in an interview that he was the victim of a kidnapping and robbery in Oxford, UK, in November 2025. Five masked men forced him to hand over more than $2 million in crypto assets and also stole a watch.
Luthra said the attackers withdrew assets worth more than $1.5 million from his Binance account and transferred about $600,000 in ETH from his Gate account. For several hours after the incident, he was unable to use his phone to contact the exchanges, and believes this reduced the chances of freezing more funds.
He said Binance and MEXC helped freeze some of the funds. Nearly $1 million has now been recovered, including about $370,000 returned by Binance. The case was originally scheduled to go to trial this month but has now been postponed until November 2027.
Security reminder: If you have authorized any related contracts, check and revoke those authorizations as soon as possible.
