A cyber crook arrested for stealing £8.7 million of Bitcoins

A cyber crook who is accused of stealing £8.7 million of Bitcoins from 85 internet wallets has been arrested in Oxford.

An international manhunt was launched after victims in the west German state of Hesse said money had been stolen from their cryptocurrency wallets in early 2018. The victims from across the globe were tricked into giving the fraudsters access to the wallets held in cyberspace and the money was transferred to other wallets created with fake IDs.
