Florida Man Convicted for Leading Violent Crypto Theft Ring

Remy St Felix faces a minimum of seven years in prison for orchestrating home invasions and kidnappings across multiple states to steal cryptocurrency.

St Felix and his crew targeted cryptocurrency owners in Florida, Texas, New York, and North Carolina.
The group used sophisticated methods, including physical surveillance and encrypted communications, to identify and rob victims.
In one incident, St Felix threatened extreme violence to force a victim to transfer over $150,000 in cryptocurrency.
The FBI arrested St Felix while he was en route to commit another home invasion in New York.
Thirteen co-conspirators have pleaded guilty, and St Felix faces up to life in prison at his sentencing in September.
