Crypto can buy her life and freedom

Transactions in XMR are completely anonymous and impossible to track, this seems to be the reason why the criminals have chosen this particular coin. Unlike the widely-accepted belief, transactions in Bitcoin can be followed, so XMR is the best choice for criminals these days.

There are also a few other completely anonymous crypto assets, such as Zcash.

At press time, Monero is trading at $54.34.

About Tom Hagen

The man is on the list of 200 the wealthiest people in Norway, ranked 172. This list was recently released by the Kapital, a financial Norwegian edition. Last year, Hagen’s fortune was estimated around $200 mln (1.7 bln Norwegian krone). Tom Hagen has earned this money in the electricity speculation business.

Other cases of crypto ransom demands

Last year, U.Today reported several ransom demand cases – all of them took place in the South Africa. Kidnappers demanded Bitcoin. Among the victims were children and a businessman from Cape Town. All of them were released after the crypto had been paid.
