Brazilian police arrest man demanding $300K in bitcoin with bomb threats to financial execs.

Brazilian police arrested Ítalo Francisco Mendes Barbiot, dubbed the “Brazilian Unabomber,” after he sent threatening letters with explosives and ricin to financial executives and luxury condo residents in São Paulo. The letters demanded nearly $300,000 in bitcoin to prevent attacks involving drones loaded with explosives. Authorities tracked him through a subway payment app despite his use of encrypted emails and self-custody crypto wallets. Police continue investigating whether any victims paid the ransom and if others were involved in related attacks.
