Description

Guest: Nicole O’Reilly, courts and crime reporter for The Hamilton Spectator It was a story that has become infamous within the cryptocurrency community. In early 2020, an early bitcoin investor reportedly had $46 million worth of the cryptocurrency stolen through a phone hacking attempt. After reporting it to the authorities, an international investigation led police to Hamilton, Ont., where an arrest was made and $7 million in bitcoin recovered but plenty of questions remained unanswered. Now, the suspect — a teen who can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act — is starting his journey through the criminal justice system.
