A $3 mln crypto theft&nbsp;&nbsp;

According to the announcement made by the Montreal police on Monday, the arrest of the fugitive took place on June 23.

Popovic was accused of stealing around $3 mln worth of cryptocurrency together with his two accomplices.&nbsp;

They arranged a meeting for two U.S. citizens in a Montreal hotel to transact crypto with an intent to rob them.&nbsp;

After the victims realized that their money had been stolen, they reported Popovic and his partners to local authorities.&nbsp;

They ended up being taken into custody by the Canadian police on Feb. 12 before returning home. Popovic was released on bail with the tracking device.&nbsp;&nbsp;
