EthCC Attendees Target in Robbery Incidents<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After attending the annual EthCC conference<\/a> in Brussels, numerous ethereans have reported being targeted by criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rishant Kumar, the Kilt Protocol's growth director, stated, “I was recently the target of an attempted robbery and assault.” “I had to punch the fucker.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar was granted immunity. Another attendee reported that he was the victim of a robbery. “My knee is badly injured but I\u2019m thankful that I\u2019m fine otherwise.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We requested additional information from him; however, we have yet to receive a response in time for publication. Additionally, a few other individuals have disclosed that they were targeted in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the initial instance of crypto attendees being targeted, and it is currently unclear whether they were randomly robbed in a rough area or if the incident was explicitly related to crypto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sole photograph that has been disclosed indicates that the individual was in an area that appeared to be quite impoverished. He asserted that it was his initial visit to Brussels and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brussels, and Belgium as a whole, are generally secure. Kumar was able to escape with a single strike, which suggests that the perpetrators may have been local street thugs, as the population is typically unarmed, in contrast to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, it may not be advisable to target them specifically, as it is improbable that they would have a significant amount of cryptocurrency on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it is possible that these are “ordinary” burglaries, rather than those that are specifically targeting cryptocurrency, particularly if they were traveling through a dangerous neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This implies that, despite the challenges, cryptonians should conduct some general investigation on the conference area and their hotel prior to visiting a new location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, it is advisable to dress ordinarily if you are unfamiliar with the area you will be traversing. Use common sense and conceal your Pudgy Penguin stickers\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> and Rolexes from view, as there are undesirable communities in every location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
