Viacheslav Leibov, a Ukrainian crypto holder, was robbed at gunpoint in Phuket, Thailand, by a group of armed men, resulting in a loss of 250,000 USDT. The attackers demanded a 500,000 USDT transfer, but Leibov managed to negotiate the amount down to 250,000 USDT, which he transferred to their specified wallet.
Physical assaults targeting individuals with cryptocurrency holdings are becoming increasingly common in Thailand and other parts of the world.
