An Indian Student Threatened To Blow Up The Airport In Miami Because Of Stolen Bitcoins

18-year-old Indian citizen threatened to blow up the Miami airport after the refusal of the US Federal authorities to help him return the stolen bitcoins.

According to the Indian newspaper Hindustan Times, threats from a young man, whose name is not reported, came to the Miami airport administration after he made a series of unsuccessful attempts to get help from the US Federal authorities. Over the past month, the young man called the FBI office at least 50 times.

“To break into the airport with AK-47, grenades and a suicide belt” the suspect promised at once in several letters and phone calls, using counterfeit identification data. For help in catching the sender of the letters, the FBI turned to the National Investigation Agency of India (NIA), which found the IP address of a young criminal in a small town in Uttar Pradesh. Now the local authorities have brought several charges against the young man under the article on terrorist threats in accordance with the Criminal code of the country.

The young man had already been detained for questioning, but had not yet been formally arrested. The case is awaiting further investigation, however, according to the investigation, the offender is too young to apply to him the full severity of the law. In addition, from the testimony of the school teachers and the detainee’s family, the police concluded that he was a “diligent” young man, and his threats could be regarded as naive and unintentional.

During the interrogation, the young man admitted that over the past five months, he made a big profit by investing in bitcoins a thousand dollars received from his father. However, recently he was deceived by a fraudster from an online chat, allegedly US citizen, who lured a young man to cryptocurrency under the pretext of investment and then disappeared. Given the age of the suspect, the court is likely to release him, however, this story clearly demonstrates to us that the game with the FBI does not end well.

It is worth noting that cryptocurrencies are not legal tender in India and investing in it is not protected by local laws. However, in May of this year in the media there were reports that give Indian cryptocurrency investors little hope.
