Four Suspects Charged in Home Invasion of Streamer Amouranth

Hold onto your hats, folks! Four suspects have been charged in the wildest home invasion since the last time I tried to make a salad! 🎩🥗 Our star of the show, online streamer Amouranth, a.k.a. Kaitlyn Siragusa, found herself in a real-life episode of “Cops: Crypto Edition.” She was held at gunpoint by some not-so-friendly folks who wanted her private keys to her crypto! I mean, who knew digital currency could lead to such a *gun-tastic* situation? 💰🔫

According to Fox 26 (the news source, not the animal), the suspects are Dylan Nesho Campbell, Bryan Anthony Salazar Guerrero, and two teenagers who are still figuring out if they want to be adults or just stay in high school. 📚

Campbell and Guerrero are in hot water, charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. And guess what? The 17-year-old suspect is in the same boat! Talk about a *youthful indiscretion*! 🚤

On the fateful night of March 2, Siragusa reported that several armed individuals crashed her home party, beat her up, and demanded her cryptocurrency. I guess they thought they were at a *crypto* convention! 🎉

But wait! Her husband was on speakerphone! Yes, folks, the husband was on the line, probably trying to figure out if he should order pizza or save his wife. He grabbed a handgun while trying to figure out where the armed men were hiding. Talk about multitasking! 🍕🔫

In a twist worthy of a Hollywood script, the online streamer led the robbers around her house, convincing them to look for a cold storage device. I mean, who doesn’t love a good scavenger hunt? 🕵️‍♂️

While the robbers were busy playing hide and seek, Siragusa dashed upstairs to her husband, who was watching the whole thing unfold on the home’s network of cameras. Talk about a *live stream*! 📺

Once she was safely upstairs, her husband fired off three rounds at the assailants. I guess he was aiming for the robbers, but who knows? Maybe he was just trying to scare them off with his *impressive* shooting skills! 🎯

Now, here’s the kicker: Siragusa had previously disclosed that she held about 211 Bitcoin, worth over $20 million! That’s right, folks! She’s a walking treasure chest! No wonder she became a target for armed robbery! 💎

Crypto kidnappings and extortion on the rise

This incident is just the latest in a series of kidnappings and armed robberies aimed at crypto holders. It’s like a new trend, but not the kind you want to follow! 📈

In January 2025, a UK court sentenced seven gang members for kidnapping and extorting a crypto investor. They really took “give me your wallet” to a whole new level! 💼

And during the same month, reports surfaced that Ledger co-founder David Balland was kidnapped in France and held for a crypto ransom. I guess he didn’t have a good enough VPN! 🌍
