🚨 THREE MEN CHARGED IN KIDNAPPING PLOT LINKED TO MALONE LAM’S $245M BITCOIN HEIST

Federal prosecutors have revealed charges against Sedric Louis, John Davis and Martel Williams, accusing them of travelling to Connecticut to rob Veer Chetal, who later pleaded guilty over the 2024 social-engineering theft of 4,100 BTC alongside Malone Lam and Jeandiel Serrano.

The trio allegedly stalked Chetal and his parents for two days while carrying air rifles and walkie-talkies, planning to force him to transfer the stolen Bitcoin. They abandoned the plot after fearing they had been caught on security cameras.

Days later, a separate Florida crew carried out the attack, carjacking, beating and briefly kidnapping Chetal’s parents.
