Two NYPD detectives are now the ones being investigated—turns out their side hustle might’ve involved strong-arming a crypto founder. Who needs badges when you’ve got Bitcoin ransom demands?
Here’s the kicker: the victim was reportedly snatched mid-deal, proving once again that in crypto, even the ’trustless’ systems can’t escape old-school human greed. Maybe they should’ve paid the ransom in stablecoins—at least those don’t fluctuate during hostage negotiations.
And in a twist that shocks nobody, internal affairs is now involved. Because nothing cleans up a mess like the people who created it.
