Robert Barr has been sentenced to eight years in prison by the High Criminal Court of Scotland for plotting to steal up to £2 million (approximately $2.7 million) in crypto assets while incarcerated. Two accomplices were sentenced to four and five years in prison, respectively. The plan involved accomplices entering the victim's home, forcing them to install the remote access software AnyDesk, and then Barr remotely controlling the computer from prison to transfer the crypto assets to a wallet under his control. In April 2024, the victim couple spotted them through a doorbell camera and refused to open the door, thwarting the plot.
