OpenAI Co-Founder Sam Altman's Ex-Boyfriend Robbed at Home, Loses $11 Million Worth of Cryptocurrency
BlockBeats News, November 26th, according to sources from law enforcement and insiders who spoke to the New York Post, a tech investor who was previously in a relationship with OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman had their San Francisco residence robbed at gunpoint last Saturday night, resulting in the loss of $11 million worth of cryptocurrency.
Security footage showed the suspect, disguised as a delivery person with a white package, ringing the doorbell of the $4.4 million residence. When the suspect falsely claimed to be "Joshua" delivering a package and identified himself as a UPS partner employee, the victim opened the door and confirmed to be Joshua. After pretending to need a signature and a pen, the suspect followed the resident inside, leading to a loud noise shortly after.
Law enforcement sources stated that the suspect, armed inside the residence, held the victim at gunpoint, bound them with duct tape, emptied their cryptocurrency accounts, and stole their phones and computers. When the police arrived at 6:45 PM that evening, the victim was found with multiple bruises. An insider involved in the investigation revealed that the gunman made off with $11 million worth of Ethereum and Bitcoin, believed to be a targeted operation by an organized crime group.
According to witnesses, after restraining the victim, the suspect subjected them to torture and physical assault while on a hands-free call, with a foreign accent on the other end continuously stating the victim's personal information. The robber then proceeded to empty all of the victim's wallets within about 90 minutes.
It is reported that the homeowner, 31-year-old Lachy Groom, is a venture capitalist and a former boyfriend of 40-year-old Sam Altman. Property records show that he purchased the property from the Altman brothers in 2021 for $1.8 million.
