A cryptocurrency trader living in rural England, in a village that's been the setting of three episodes of a TV drama, was robbed by four guys who broke into his home in the middle of the day and forced him to transfer cryptocurrency.

"Armed robbers broke into a house in a wealthy Home Counties village and forced a cyber-currency trader to transfer a fortune in Bitcoin to them on his computer.

They tied up Ms Jay and put the couple’s baby outside in a pram, before threatening Mr Aston with a gun and forcing him to transfer his Bitcoin into their control."

I know. It seems likely we'll see more events like this as cryptos become more widely adopted.
