Musician Jonathan Meléndez and family killed in Mexico over $1.5M bitcoin hardware wallet dispute.

Jonathan Meléndez, a Mexican musician, his pregnant wife, their young daughter, and housemaid were found murdered in their home in Atizapán, Mexico. The killings are linked to a $1.5 million bitcoin hardware wallet Meléndez kept, with two suspects arrested within 12 hours. The suspects, one an associate of Meléndez, allegedly targeted the family over a debt dispute related to the crypto holdings. They face first degree murder charges with potential sentences up to 70 years per victim. This case highlights the growing trend of violent crimes tied to cryptocurrency assets, known as "wrench attacks."
