A U.K. man was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in jail after pleading guilty to stealing more than $2.5 million in cryptocurrency. HeleneBraunn reports
Wybbo Wiersma, a 40-year old Dutch native living in Oxford, England, had been under investigation by U.K. and Dutch authorities after they seized computers, drugs and cash in his Oxford home in 2019, following a police investigation.
Wiersma had set up a website under a false name on which he generated an 81-character code that he used to steal IOTA tokens from users around the world. "Wiersma deprived people of their money which they had invested in cryptocurrency, moving it through a web of trading accounts and causing some to lose businesses and life savings,” Detective Inspector Rob Bryant of SEROCU said in a statement.
