Russian journalist David was allegedly lured to a Pattaya hotel on June 26 by acquaintances who later assaulted and handcuffed him, forcing a Bitcoin transfer and stealing a luxury Rolex and cash worth over 2 million baht. He escaped while still restrained and sought help. CCTV shows the attackers, including 26-year-old Anton Lokotkov—now in custody—who denies involvement despite overstaying his visa. Other suspects are believed to have fled Thailand. The victim and perpetrators knew each other, and police are pursuing leads as they untangle conflicting accounts and track the remaining suspects abroad.

Just another reason to be discreet with your good fortune. Guys go around bragging about how well they're doing about how much money they have, about how much crypto they have, and most of us just don't want to hear it, for one, and for two you are just setting yourself up as a victim.

 

There's a reason why they say discretion is the better part of valor. Good survival instincts are required to survive and thrive in this world especially these days were scamming seems to be on the rise, and millions of people refuse to work for a living and would rather feed upon the blood of others.
