The U.S. Department of Justice announced that 26-year-old California man Adam Iza has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for planning and funding a kidnapping and robbery that took place in August 2024. The target of the crime was the parents of a man who had been involved in stealing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin. Iza coordinated the operation using a phone and encrypted messaging apps, after which six men from Florida carried out a violent carjacking and kidnapping in Connecticut. Iza’s brother has pleaded guilty, along with six other individuals involved in the case, while other accomplices are still awaiting trial.
