11 Israelis visiting Costa Rica were attacked by 8 men who overpowered their security guard and robbed them of $700,000 worth of bitcoin. Analysis of surveillance footage leads investigators to suspect the robbers are current or former police.
If true, this wouldn't be the first time corrupt cops have wrench attacked Bitcoiners. 2 Vietnamese cops and 5 accomplices were charged for a wrench attack in 2021.

Nothing says "Come and take my coins" like a bunch of gringos in a Latin-American country showing they have coins. Honestly guys, keep a low profile, specially when you're abroad.
They were probably trying to occupy and steal Costa Rican lands.
Big groups of Israeli guys usually from the army are a common sight in the Caribbean. They're usually noisy and annoying so no surprise this happens.
You should see what they do in Palestine, they're much worse there.
Yeah imagine when those psycho assholes go on vacation drinking and taking drugs.
If God promised them Palestine as they claim, why are they traveling to other countries?
Dude, shut the fuck up with that noise.
700M or 700k?
700k
Mil in Spanish is thousand
“700 mil dólares”
“Mil” means thousand in Spanish.
So, this is $700,000

Ops be like, how did they know? Must be kyc!
Who walks around with immediate control over so much corn
“Have you heard of bitcoin? Here check out my wallet it’s so easy”
How were the BTC housed? That's the real Q

Parliamentary systems SUCK!
I like what I see. Wealth distribution in action. Something isn't kosher anyways. Who's having that much bitcoin when on vacation? Probably Israeli scammers at large...
So ~$70k in cash per person? Seems sus. Seems like an investigation is in order.
Wasn't there a Nostr conference there?
Why not rob the shit out of cunts back then?

How did they know they had BTC?
so everyone had 2 btc in a accessible hotwallet. maybe not the best idea if you go on vacation.
On a long enough time line all Bitcoiners will find out why other Bitcoiners created Monero for them.

Costa Rica yeah man it’s great down there, super safe and so chill. Yeah party on Wayne, party on Garth.
police is always and everywhere a bunch of coward sadists
gotta be an inside job. how did they know they were carrying that much BTC
what happened to unconfiscatable?
Anything that can be owned can be stolen. Bitcoin is only safe from wrench attacks if you distribute your keys appropriately.
Timelocks and geographically distributed keys ftw.
