Former LAPD reserve officer Eric Halem was sentenced to life in prison plus 15 years for kidnapping and robbing a teenager of a hard drive containing about $350,000 worth of Bitcoin during a 2024 home invasion in Los Angeles. The judge rejected Halem's request for a new trial, citing evidence of his greed. Halem must serve most of the 15-year term before the life sentences and is eligible for parole after seven years. This case highlights ongoing violent crimes targeting cryptocurrency holders in the U.S., with several related cases still pending trial.
