Two robbers reportedly deceived an Asian investor and his friend with a fake bitcoin scheme and stole nearly $50,000, three phones, and documents from them. The Criminal Court sent the wrongdoers to jail for three years and ordered their deportation once going out of prison.
The assault happened last July in the Mankhool area of Dubai. Back then, an undisclosed individual and his friend decided to invest in bitcoin and found a dubious promoter to help them. After calling him, the broker came to one of the investor’s house and requested to see the cash value of the cryptocurrencies the victims wished to purchase. They assaulted the victims and stole the bag, which contained Dh183,000 (around $50,000), three mobile phones, bank checks, and documents. They even threatened to kill one of the investors.
