Popular online streamer Amouranth, aka Kaitlyn Siragusa, experienced a violent home invasion when attackers forced entry into her home while holding her at gunpoint to get access to her cryptocurrency.
The incident took place on March 3, which saw several armed individuals break into her home, beat her, and attempt to force her to hand over her private keys.
The news outlet Fox 26 reported that authorities arrested Dylan Nesho Campbell, Bryan Anthony Salazar Guerrero, and two minors between the ages of 16 and 17 for their involvement in the crime.
Suspects stand accused of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon alongside Campbell and Guerrero. Campbell and Guerrero are still in custody, with bail set at $150,000 and $200,000, respectively. Guerrero was able to post bail, but the 16-year-old suspect remains unidentified.
The streamer cleverly led the attackers around, convincing them to search for a cold storage device. As they hunted for it, she ran upstairs & fired three shots, possibly hitting one assailant, before the invaders fled.
The streamer had previously revealed she owned 211 Bitcoin, worth over $20 million in November 2024, making her a target.
The attack represents an emerging pattern of cybercrimes focused on cryptocurrency assets. A UK court handed down seven gang member sentences in January 2025 for kidnapping and cryptocurrency extortion against an investor.
In the same month, Ledger co-founder David Balland also suffered an abduction at gunpoint for ransom in France.
