Mexican rock star and family murdered over $1.5M Bitcoin wallet in a brutal wrench attack.

Jonathan Meléndez, a member of the Mexican rock band Camilo Séptimo, his pregnant wife, their young daughter, and their housemaid were killed in a violent attack linked to Meléndez's $1.5 million Bitcoin hardware wallet. The suspects, including an associate who knew about the crypto holdings, were arrested within 12 hours and face up to 70 years in prison per victim. This case highlights the growing danger of crypto-related violent crimes, known as wrench attacks, as cryptocurrencies become more widely used for savings and payments globally.
