This was a large consideration in me offloading the vast majority of my cryptocurrency during the peak run up. The financial and digital hacking risk I was okay with, the physical risk to my family was too much. Even if I kept it off-site and in a safe deposit box somewhere no criminal would actually know that. Decoy systems and complicated multisig setups are all vulnerable to the ball peen hammer attack.<p>Had I known Bitcoin would turn into what it had I would have done far more to create a pseudonymous persona when participating in the early scene vs. my well known and easily linked handle to my real identity.<p>It was a fun ride, but the risk just got to be too much.

It&#x27;s a surprisingly hard threat to model against.<p>For example, sure, don&#x27;t store your funds on an exchange and they can&#x27;t get in with a SIM swap, but when they&#x27;re in your house, that doesn&#x27;t help you.<p>You could store your funds with a multisig wallet and make sure you don&#x27;t have <i>access</i> to enough keys at home to move the funds, but how do you make them believe you?<p>You can have one or more decoy wallets you can &quot;cave&quot; and give them access to if you think it might buy your freedom, but once you start, again, why would they believe you?<p>Do you just acknowledge that they <i>won&#x27;t</i> believe you,that they <i>are</i> going torture you regardless? And at least make sure you or your heirs have the money if any of you survive?<p>There really isn&#x27;t a good way out of this.

As someone with the same name as a somewhat well-known former Bitcoin developer, this is sort of a latent fear I have. I would expect that someone dumb enough to think a home invasion is a good idea is also dumb enough to not double-check whether they&#x27;ve got the right guy.

Crypto aside, quite surprising to see home invasions, kidnapping, and torture in middle class american neighborhoods. What I&#x27;d like to know, which wasn&#x27;t in the release is how did the criminals identify or decide to target these specific victims.

If you torture a person in their own home, I&#x27;m surprised that you don&#x27;t go to prison for life.

I’ve always wondered if that gold coin company sells marketing info.<p>Were names of Mt. Gox claimants published?
