Armed robber poses as delivery man to steal $11m cryptocurrency in San Francisco



Monday, November 24, 2025 - An armed thief posing as a delivery worker forced his way into a San Francisco home over the weekend, tied up the homeowner, and made off with the victim’s cellphone, laptop, and approximately $11 million in cryptocurrency.

The brazen heist occurred around 6:45 a.m. on Saturday at a home in San Francisco’s Mission Dolores neighborhood, according to a police report obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle.

The faux courier quickly dropped the act by brandishing a gun and tying up the victim with duct tape, the police report detailed, according to the outlet.

It’s unclear if the victim was injured or if any arrests have been made following the incident.

Additional details about the suspect and the heist were not released by cops.

The robbery comes amid a rise in violent kidnappings and attempted robberies of crypto investors.

In March, a group of burglars attempted to steal cryptocurrency from the home of influencer Amouranth, whose real name is Kaitlyn Siragusa. She earns around $2 million a month from selling videos on OnlyFans and gaming on Twitch.

In May, crypto bros John Woeltz, 37, and William Duplessie, 33, were accused of kidnapping and torturing an Italian millionaire, Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan, inside a New York City townhouse for his Bitcoin password.
