Two Ukrainian suspects have been arrested for allegedly killing a 21-year-old Ukrainian man in Vienna and stealing his cryptocurrency wallet.

At the request of the Ukrainian authorities, the case will be transferred for prosecution in Ukraine. This case highlights the real-world security threats faced by cryptocurrency holders. Earlier reports indicated that the son of a Ukrainian politician was murdered in Vienna, with cryptocurrency possibly being the motive.
