Bitcoin investment loss leads to domestic shootout and police standoff
A loss incurred in a Bitcoin (BTC) investment in Thailand resulted in a man shooting his wife and then having a six hour-long standoff with local police forces. According to a Sept. 18 report by local news outlet Thaiger, the 35-year-old husband named Kritsada shot his 31-year-old wife Pitsamai with a handgun and barricaded himself in their home. He surrendered to the authorities after a six-hour standoff with the police that included negotiations involving his sister. Officer Manas Atthadod from Uthai Police Station explained that the man — who also shot himself in the leg — attempted to kill his wife after she asked him for separation following his loss of 700,000 baht (under $19,500) in Bitcoin investment s. The man regularly visited his wife following separation — partly due to his fear of her cheating — and on the night of the incident she opposed him when he tried to reconcile and shot her.
