The U.S. Northern District of Illinois Federal Prosecutors announced on June 10 that a new defendant has been charged in the previous crypto-related home invasion robbery case in Winnetka, a suburb north of Chicago. The prosecution stated that the incident occurred on March 8, 2026, and the suspect allegedly impersonated a food delivery person to lure residents to open the door, then stormed into the residence with a gun and took control of the victim, demanding access to the safe, computers, and online accounts holding cryptocurrencies.


Previously, multiple defendants had been charged in this case, with the accused facing charges of conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to rob, with the conspiracy to kidnap carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. (Bitcoin com)
