Bandits in uniform? Gangs robbing gangs or law enforcement turning into crime?
Let’s start with the king bomb:
Two New York policemen, wearing police uniforms to arrest people during the day, and taking off their uniforms to kidnap people at night? ! Recently, a big news broke out in New York. Two on-duty policemen were investigated internally. The charges were explosive - they were suspected of kidnapping a cryptocurrency trader and extorting millions of dollars! What’s even more magical is that the victim was electrocuted and stuffed in the trunk, and almost "disappeared"...
1. Outrageous plot: The policeman becomes a kidnapper, investigating a case or robbing?
According to foreign media reports, the two policemen (currently suspended) targeted a Chinese crypto trader, suspecting that he had "huge amounts of Bitcoin". But instead of following normal procedures, they pretended to be investigating the case, lured the victim to the street, threatened him with a gun, shocked him, and finally stuffed him into the trunk of a car, forcing him to transfer cryptocurrency!
Here comes the action:
The victim took advantage of the kidnappers' unpreparedness and used his cell phone to send his location to a friend to call the police;
The police station was stunned when they saw the location: "How come our car is one of ours?!"
Finally, the victim was found in a motel in the suburbs of New York. The victim was almost transferred...
Netizens commented: "These days, a police ID is more useful than a gangster ID?"
2. The water behind this: Cryptocurrency = fat sheep?
Why target crypto traders?
Cash is hard to trace: Bitcoin transfers are anonymous, so kidnappers think they can “withdraw money safely”;
There are many chaotic phenomena in the industry: private large-scale transactions are common, and victims may not dare to report to the police;
The police know how to play by the law: they are familiar with detection loopholes and have a strong awareness of anti-detection.
But this time it went wrong - the blockchain transaction records were all solid evidence, and the police followed the flow of Bitcoin and found the accounts of the police's relatives!
3. The whole country is in an uproar: Can we still trust the police?
People angrily asked: "When the police stop my car in the future, should I cooperate or broadcast it live first?"
Official emergency firefighting: The New York Police Department issued a statement overnight that it would "never cover up its shortcomings", but netizens found out that one of the police officers had won the "Excellent Service Award"...
Lawyer’s analysis: If convicted, these two police officers may receive longer sentences than the murderer (kidnapping + abuse of power + hate crime bonus).
4. What to watch: Reality is more exciting than American TV series
“Black Police” Industry Chain? Netizens suspect that there is a gang behind it, specifically targeting crypto tycoons;
Victims fought back: It is said that the trader secretly recorded the conversation and sent the evidence directly to the FBI;
Conspiracy theories: Some speculate that "the police are short of money" or "gangs have infiltrated law enforcement."
The final soul question:
When law enforcers themselves break the law, who can ordinary people trust? Can the "decentralized" security of cryptocurrency overcome human greed?
