Four Suspects Charged in Amouranth’s Home Invasion for Crypto

Popular online streamer Amouranth, real name Kaitlyn Siragusa, experienced a violent home invasion when attackers forced entry into her home while holding her at gunpoint to get access to her cryptocurrency. 

The incident, which took place on March 3, saw several armed individuals break into her home, beat her, and attempt to force her to hand over her private keys. 

The news outlet Fox 26 reported that authorities arrested Dylan Nesho Campbell, Bryan Anthony Salazar Guerrero and two minors between the ages of 16 and 17 for their involvement in the crime. 

A 17-year-old defendant stands accused of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon alongside Campbell and Guerrero. The suspects face severe charges of Aggravated Kidnapping and Aggravated Robbery with a Deadly Weapon. 

Campbell and Guerrero are still in custody, with bail set at $150,000 and $200,000, respectively. Guerrero was able to post bail, but the 16-year-old suspect remains unidentified.

Siragusa’s husband was on speakerphone during the attack. The gunmen grabbed the phone to access a crypto app, but he used the opportunity to arm himself. Meanwhile, the streamer cleverly led the attackers around, convincing them to search for a cold storage device. 

As they hunted for it, she ran upstairs to her husband, who was watching through the home’s security cameras. He then fired three shots, possibly hitting one assailant, before the invaders fled.  

The streamer had previously revealed she owned 211 Bitcoin, worth over $20 million in November 2024, making her a target.  

The attack represents an emerging pattern of cybercrimes focused on cryptocurrency assets. A UK court handed down seven gang member sentences in January 2025 for kidnapping and cryptocurrency extortion against an investor. 

In the same month Ledger co-founder David Balland suffered an abduction at gunpoint for ransom in France.
