Two Texas brothers, Raymond and Isiah Garcia, were sentenced to 15 years in prison after holding a Minnesota family at gunpoint for more than nine hours and forcing the father to send over $8 million in crypto. The case is among the clearest prosecutions yet of a "wrench attack," where physical coercion is used to take digital assets. BTC was $77,137 when the story was published; in the first hour after it was down 0.2%; since the story it is down 0.2%.
