In the Connecticut case, two masked men broke into the Bristol home of Achieve Financial Credit Union executive Matthew Yussman on Feb. 23, 2015. They tied his 70-year-old mother to her bed. They then strapped a fake bomb to Yussman, lied to him about placing a bomb in his mother's bedroom and told him to drive to the New Britain credit union and take out money. They said if he didn't cooperate they would set off the bombs.
