According to Foresight News , citing the Daily Mail, former BCB Group CEO and current Greater Things CEO Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie and his family were robbed at knifepoint at their home in Maidenhead, Berkshire on April 2. Four robbers tied up the family members and explicitly demanded the keys to their cryptocurrency wallets.
Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie stated that the robbers' target was clearly cryptocurrency, showing no interest even in the Aston Martin parked in the driveway. Since they had no crypto assets, the robbers ultimately stole cash, silverware, and jewelry. Thames Valley Police are currently investigating. Oliver subsequently issued a warning, urging founders, CEOs, and other public figures in the crypto industry to be vigilant against such organized, targeted crimes and to strengthen their personal safety measures.
