Five people in the UK sentenced for attacking cryptocurrency holders, victims forced to transfer crypto assets
Deep Tide TechFlow News, May 23 — The UK police announced that five people have been sentenced in a case involving a "Wrench Attack" targeting cryptocurrency holders. The suspects, after meeting the victim at a Shoreditch pub in London in July 2025, forcibly took them back to their home, and through violent threats and facial recognition verification, forced the victim to access bank and cryptocurrency accounts, stealing over £10k in funds, cryptocurrencies, watches, and other valuables.
During the investigation, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase reported suspicious activity on the victim’s account to the police. The police subsequently identified and arrested the suspects. The court ultimately sentenced four main offenders to prison terms ranging from three and a half to six and a half years, while another involved individual was sentenced to community service for money laundering. The police stated that this case caused long-term psychological trauma to the victims and their families, highlighting the rising risk of offline violent crimes against cryptocurrency asset holders.
