On June 10, federal prosecutors in the Northern District of Illinois announced that an 8th defendant has been charged in connection with a crypto-related home invasion robbery that occurred in Winnetka, a northern suburb of Chicago. Prosecutors stated that the incident took place on March 8, 2026, when the suspects allegedly posed as food delivery personnel to trick the residents into opening the door. They then forced their way into the home at gunpoint, restrained the victims, and demanded access to a safe, computers, and online accounts holding cryptocurrency. Several defendants had already been charged in this case, facing conspiracy to commit kidnapping and conspiracy to commit robbery. The conspiracy to commit kidnapping charge carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
