In Sweden, there's an alarming trend of attackers deliberately assaulting wealthy Bitcoin holders in their own homes to extract secret phrases from their wallets and steal their digital assets.

So far, there have been at least two violent robberies following this pattern: victims were bound and tortured until the criminals gained access to their assets. In one incident, a middle-aged couple required urgent hospitalization via medical helicopter.

Crypto enthusiast Eric Wall believes that criminals meticulously scour social media for potential crypto-affluent individuals, then easily obtain their home addresses and tax information thanks to Swedish laws on public access to such data.

Wall, who has long left Sweden, has urged affluent individuals to enhance their personal security or move to another country, as the police have yet to arrest any perpetrators.
