fed Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Bitcoin Crime Wave Breaks Out in NYCStagecoach robberiesDean Katz is a one-man bitcoin exchange. Every day, he drives around New York buying and selling bitcoin, on call to a large customer base. He’s like a weed delivery guy, only instead of delivering drugs, he’s bringing people the future of financial transactions.One day, he received a call from someone who had heard about his services, either online or through a referral, who wanted to visit him out in Queens at a secure location.“He called because he wanted to gamble during the Super Bowl, which is pretty common,” Mr. Katz told the Observer.When the person arrived, he held Mr. Katz up at gunpoint and forced him to transfer $8,500 worth of bitcoin. Then, the robber took $3,500 in cash and split.Mr. Katz reported the incident to the police, and he’s heard from a number of people also who trade bitcoin in person that there have been other incidents. Some of the occurrences have been physical robberies, others have just involved the use of counterfeit money—which as a hustling entrepreneur, Mr. Katz considers just as offensive.Bitcoin Crime Wave Breaks Out in NYC | | ObserverVand 5btc 170$/btc predare cash la mine in casa in Ferentari Quote
