$3.3M Worth of Crypto Nicked by Call of Duty Criminal Ring

Several tech-savvy Call of Duty gamers created a criminal ring while playing the popular online game. Before the US Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) gave pursuit, they managed to get away with at least $3.3 million worth of cryptocurrency by accessing crypto wallets via victims’ cell phones, the Chicago Sun-Times reports, citing unsealed court documents.

In December 2016, San Francisco-based online predictions platform Augur alerted the FBI that its employees and investors had fallen victims to cryptocurrency hackers. The platform allows users to make predictions on anything they like, from sporting events to natural disasters and even political assassination. Users make bets with Augur’s native cryptocurrency called the Reputation Token.
