As an analyst with extensive experience in the cryptocurrency industry, I find myself deeply saddened and concerned by the harrowing ordeal faced by Nick Drakon, CEO of Revpro Intel. His personal account of being held at gunpoint and forced to transfer his own and his company’s crypto assets is a stark reminder of the sinister side of this promising yet volatile industry.
In a harrowing incident, Nick Drakon from Revpro Intel was held up at gunpoint along with his family. The robbers made off with money from both Drakon’s personal savings and the company’s funds.
Nick Drakon, co-founder and CEO of Revpro Intel, a Web3 education and intelligence platform, shared a harrowing experience of being held at gunpoint and forced to transfer personal and company crypto to criminals. He also announced that he was stepping down as his company’s CEO and relinquishing all financial interest as a direct result of this incident.
Reflecting on my experiences within this field, I must acknowledge a troubling aspect that’s as ominous as nightfall. Unseen villains lurk in the shadows, ever ready to exploit vulnerabilities for personal gain, causing distress and turmoil in their wake. Recently, I fell victim to such a group, who orchestrated an audacious heist of our funds. I refer to them as a ‘sophisticated’ collective. This was no digital attack; it was a chilling, face-to-face encounter where my family – my wife and eight-month-old son – found themselves in harm’s way.
“The team focused exclusively on Drakon’s digital assets, having access to both his personal wallet addresses and those linked to Revpro Intel and Revpro Ventures, the investment division. According to him, under duress and pointing a gun at him, he was compelled to log into several cryptocurrency accounts and move funds out. He asserted that the bulk of the stolen money consisted of his own personal investments.
Based on his extensive understanding of the wallet addresses, Drakon suspects the theft may have been a coordinated effort by either Revpro employees themselves or an external party with inside information. He chose not to reveal further details because the investigation is still active.
Looking Forward
He admitted to this incident emerging due to risks tied to “severe mistakes in operating that business from a number of various perspectives.” He announced his resignation from his position, handing over the CEO title to former Revpro Intel COO Vu Benson. While guiding the company through the incident’s aftermath and handling business scenarios, Benson will work to make whole affected investors and stakeholders. He will start by directing “30% of all profits generated directly to the affected members.”
The event underscores a growing trend of offline crimes aimed at exploiting individuals who own cryptocurrencies, with the ultimate goal of draining their digital wallets.
