Four suspects were charged in connection with the home invasion
of online streamer Amouranth, whose real name is Kaitlyn Siragusa.
The streamer says she was held at gunpoint by several individuals
demanding that she hand over the private keys to her crypto.
According to Fox 26, the
suspects include Dylan Nesho Campbell, Bryan Anthony Salazar
Guerrero and two additional suspects between the ages of 16-17.
Campbell and Guerrero were each charged with aggravated
kidnapping and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, as was the
17-year-old suspect.
Siragusa reported that several armed
individuals entered her home late at night on March 2, beat
her, and held her at gunpoint, demanding her cryptocurrency.

Luckily, her husband was on speakerphone, which the gunmen took
in an attempt to access a crypto app. The husband, having been
alerted to the situation, grabbed a handgun while attempting to
gauge where the armed men were in the home.
The online streamer led the assailants around the home and
convinced them to start looking for a cold storage device.
As the armed robbers were looking for the device, Siragusa ran
upstairs to her husband, who was also watching the situation unfold
on the home's network of cameras.
Once she was safely upstairs, her husband fired off three rounds
at assailants, likely shooting one in the process before the home
invaders retreated and law enforcement arrived at the scene.

posting from her account as the incident unfolded. Source:

The streamer previously disclosed that she held roughly 211
Bitcoin, worth over $20 million in November 2024, to online
followers — making her a target for armed robbery.

The incident is merely the latest in a string of kidnappings and
armed robberies aimed at crypto holders.
In January 2025, a UK court sentenced seven
gang members for the kidnapping and extortion of a crypto
investor, who was repeatedly assaulted and coerced into handing
over funds over several months.
During that same month, reports emerged that
Ledger co-founder
David Balland was kidnapped in France and held for a crypto
ransom before being rescued by law enforcement.
