An adult actress, known for her work in the adult entertainment industry, recently found herself in a harrowing situation when armed robbers targeted her for her alleged $20 million Bitcoin fortune. According to reports, the actress was suddenly dragged out of bed and violently pistol-whipped before managing to shoot one of the assailants. The incident highlights the increasing attention that cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, are receiving from criminals as their value continues to rise, posing a growing risk of theft and robbery.

This is not the first time that cryptocurrency has been the target of criminal activity. In recent years, there have been numerous reports of cryptocurrency exchanges being hacked and millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency being stolen. Additionally, there have been reports of individuals being kidnapped and held for ransom in exchange for cryptocurrency. As the cryptocurrency industry continues to grow, it is important for investors and users to take steps to protect their assets, including using secure wallets, enabling two-factor authentication, and being cautious of phishing scams. Law enforcement agencies must also be aware of the unique challenges posed by cryptocurrency-related crimes and develop strategies to combat them.

In other news, Iris Ramaya Au, the ex-girlfriend of Adam Iza, known as the crypto “Godfather,” pleaded guilty to a $2.6 million tax charge. According to reports, Au failed to report over $2.6 million she gained from her relationship with Iza. This serves as a reminder that even in the world of cryptocurrency, it is important to comply with tax laws and regulations.

Meanwhile, Japan's Metaplanet has become the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in Asia after its latest purchase. According to the company's CEO, Simon Lee, the purchase was made as part of the company's long-term investment strategy. This is a sign that more and more corporations are beginning to recognize the potential of cryptocurrency as an investment opportunity.
