Online streamer Amouranth, whose real name is Kaitlyn Siragusa, recently made headlines after being the victim of a terrifying home invasion. The streamer, who is known for her popular online content, was held at gunpoint by several individuals who demanded that she hand over the private keys to her cryptocurrency.

According to reports, four suspects have been charged in connection with the incident. Dylan Nesho Campbell, Bryan Anthony Salazar Guerrero, and two other suspects between the ages of 16-17 have all been charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.

The incident occurred late at night on March 2, when several armed individuals entered Siragusa’s home, beat her, and held her at gunpoint. They demanded that she hand over her cryptocurrency, which she had previously disclosed to her online followers to be worth over $20 million.

Luckily, Siragusa’s husband was on speakerphone during the incident and was able to grab a handgun to defend himself and his wife. He also alerted law enforcement and fired three rounds at the assailants, likely injuring one of them before they fled the scene.

This is not the first time that crypto holders have been targeted for their digital assets. In January 2025, a UK court sentenced seven gang members for the kidnapping and extortion of a crypto investor. And just a few weeks ago, Ledger co-founder David Balland was kidnapped in France and held for a crypto ransom before being rescued by law enforcement.

These incidents highlight the growing trend of crypto-related crimes, including kidnappings and extortion. As the value of cryptocurrencies continues to rise, it is important for individuals to take extra precautions to protect their assets and personal safety.
