hurry keep going keep going H stop playing stop it pass the away
0:12
go this chilling surveillance footage taken only a couple of weeks ago shows the moments that amaranth one of
0:18
twitch's most popular streamers was robbed in her home and would you believe they were here for her millions of
0:24
dollars of cryptocurrency meanwhile half the world away popular streamer IIs sat
0:30
was recording live in the streets of Shinjuku and at the time had just over 6,000 viewers tuning in to watch her but
0:37
that is when all of a sudden her stream erupted to the sounds of blunt thuds and screaming accompanied by the low voice
0:43
of a disheveled man muttering the words I found you are you dead yet it appeared
0:49
that iie had been attacked in broad daylight and it sounded like her killer knew who she was too and with her camera
0:55
still rolling her audience horrified as they watched the event unfold was would catch occasional flickers of the man
1:02
with the sound of distant Sirens gradually getting closer however there is far more to the story then meets the
1:08
eye in fact with every layer that you pull away you're left with an entirely different one and let's just say that
1:14
nobody in this story is innocent welcome or welcome back to Coffee House crime folks my name is Adrien and today we're
1:21
looking at two horrible stories that have recently happened which involve live streamers this includes the case of
1:27
amaranth we'll also be taking a look at how she and her husband responded and how potentially that could have saved
1:34
both of their lives but before we get to that story let's look at one which recently happened in Tokyo because it
1:39
seems that Western media has completely missed the Mark here before you begin please consider subscribing to see more
1:45
True Crime strange and chilling stories and now with that said please grab yourself a coffee and let's caffeinate
1:51
while we investigate this is the case of I sat
CASE 1
2:05
Shinjuku Tokyo welcome to one of Japan's most buzzing districts now we've talked
2:11
about crime here before because although Japan does boast one of the lowest crime rates in the world it does seem like
2:17
whenever a murder happens here the story behind it is absolutely wild for those
2:22
of you who haven't been Shinjuku is not really just a place but more like an experience a Neon Jungle that never
2:29
sleeps where towering skyscrapers Loom over winding Alleyways and it's said that the hum of the city never seems to
2:36
fade here by day it's a business Hub which is buzzing with suits and briefcases but by night it transforms
2:43
into a cyberpunk Fan's dream tall blazing signs light up kabukicho which is Tokyo's Infamous red light district
2:50
and in the background Smoky is aaya overflow with laughter food and clinking
2:55
glasses and if you get lost in the Maze of Shinjuku station well don't worry
3:00
you're not alone it's the busiest and most chaotic station in the world but that's the beauty of it because whether
3:07
you're chasing nightlife culture or a quiet Shrine hidden in the madness Shinjuku will always deliver however on
3:14
the morning of March the 11th 2025 the residents of takadanobaba a neighborhood
3:20
found in Shinjuku were awoken by the terrifying sound of screaming responding to the commotion neighbors and
3:26
construction workers alike all peered down into the street to see the motionless body of a woman on the floor
3:33
and above her a masked and hooded man likely in his early 30s was staring down
3:38
at his victim Witnesses reported hearing her scream several times before then
3:44
suddenly falling silent and despite clearly falling to the floor and being in a dire situation her attacko who
3:51
seemed to assault her with a knife made no effort to run away in fact it is reported that even after he was done
3:57
with her the man stood nearby while he waited for the police to arrive and due to his calm demeanor some people would
4:04
even mistake him as a second victim when officers arrived at the scene they found a woman lying on the floor who seemed to
4:10
have sustained several severe injuries and I'm not talking about just one or two stab wounds here but literally
4:16
dozens and to throw in a unique detail observed by the officers they also found it very strange that there was a camera
4:23
on a tripod right next to her body when officers picked up the mobile phone they were absolutely horrified to realize
4:29
that she she was in fact streaming at the time with many people asking her if she was okay in the live chat through
4:35
this live stream and also the ID found in her pocket they realized that she was 22-year-old Iris sat paramedics rushed
4:42
to save her life but unfortunately she went into cardiac arrest shortly after
4:47
and then was pronounced dead as for her attacko well he actually did not run away from the crime scene in fact he was
4:54
right behind officers just waiting to be arrested of course when they realized who he was that is precisely what
5:00
happened so at least so far this story seems to be fairly cut and dry and many of you are probably wondering or even
5:07
assuming that this guy must have been some sort of lustful fanatic well unfortunately there is far more to this
5:14
story than meets the ey and like I said at the beginning no one is Innocent but
5:19
before we get to that let's first take a look at who Iris sat was and why she was
5:25
murdered it turns out that Iris satat was a well-known life streamer who went by the name of IM mugami she was a big
5:33
name on the website who watch.tv which is a popular streaming site in Japan in
5:38
fact after finding out about this website I had quite a lot of fun browsing the random live streams on
5:44
there it gave me a very open lens to the Japanese way of Twitch streaming and before you're wondering no this is not a
5:49
sponsorship so iie was very active on who watch and actually was one of its
5:55
top performers she had also earned the Platinum streamer badge which is the maximum rank available on the website
6:01
and at the time she had ACR more than 2,600 followers on here which by the
6:06
platform standards is apparently quite substantial from what I could find online it looks like most of her videos
6:12
centered around her talking to her fans answering questions and generally trying
6:17
to entertain her audience she would also occasionally undertake stream challenges walk around Outdoors or talk back to
6:25
those who were messaging in her chat it looks like her primary focus was always on her community which probably is how
6:32
she achieved Platinum so early but iie's beginning was actually not so peachy
6:37
either in fact she had quite the troubling start online and one that none of her followers were actually aware of
6:44
it all began in December of 2021 which is When A 42-year-old man named Kenichi
6:50
Taco stumbled upon her stream in what was initially a chance encounter would
6:55
eventually kind of blossom into a complicated and troubled friendship
7:00
however before he even knew it he was utterly drawn in by her personality and
7:05
before you're wondering this is not going to be your typical parasocial relationship as we often see with many
7:11
other streamers now what initially began as merely watching IE would eventually
7:17
turn into Kenichi donating pom poms which is the website's form of currency and although it was small amounts at
7:24
first it did end up escalating quite quickly in fact at his Peak Kenichi was
7:29
sending more than 100,000 Yen per month which is no small sum by the way because
7:35
back then that converted to nearly $1,000 and side note wow has the Yen
7:41
changed what a great time to visit Japan now obviously Ari both noticed and
7:47
accepted his generous donations I mean how could she not at the time she wasn't
7:52
even a full-time streamer she was still just a waitress at the local restaurant trying to make ends meet his generosity
7:59
seemed seemed to snowball over the months to a sum of almost 400,000 yen in
8:04
donations the equivalent of 4,000 us do at the time and it was at that moment
8:10
that iie decided to do something she had never done before she reached out to him
8:15
directly and that that was the instance that changed everything now we know all
8:21
of this because only a few days after her murder the messages between the two of them were leaked how this happened or
8:27
who by nobody knows for certain but it does suggest that some serious Internet Security issues exist anyway back to the
8:36
moment that the two would officially make contact Ari was unfortunately scheming and by September of 2022 she
8:43
had asked Kenichi if he could now start sending her money directly not through the usual streaming platforms but
8:49
straight to her bank account instead she initially dotted these requests between casual conversation making small excuses
8:57
like forgetting her wallet at work or needing the cash quite quickly and the deceptive thing right here is that she
9:03
also promised to pay him back you know like hey I know I've already been given
9:09
$4,000 but do you mind giving me another $500 and I'll pay you back tomorrow this
9:14
was only the beginning and unfortunately Ari never returned these new loans
9:19
instead asking for more only one week later she requested another 20,000 yen
9:24
and then some more and then again the excuses seemed to just keep rolling in
9:30
and Kenichi entirely unable to say no always complied to her
9:36
demands and there was one other problem too and by other I mean absolutely
9:41
massive you see Kenichi was not some sort of Rich hedge fund kid or even a businessman in fact he wasn't even close
9:49
to achieving an average salary this poor man was basically broke and only just eared enough to have a roof over his
9:55
head needless to say he was not in the position to give some random streamer thousands of dollars and so when Arie
10:02
found out about this of course she asked him the big question where are you getting all of this money from the real
10:08
tragedy here is that Kenichi was actually taking out loans from Big loan companies and then giving that borrowed
10:14
money to iie now clearly I think a certain level of Common Sense is absolutely required here and you should
10:19
be able to tell when you can and cannot afford to give donations and as for kenichi's position I think that was kind
10:26
of obvious but people will do very strange things for love when whether that be sexual romantic or simply out of
10:32
care Kenichi really wanted to make sure that IU was safe and so for him that
10:37
meant taking out two massive loans now you would hope that after learning that a fan of hers was in such a vulnerable
10:44
position iie would reject all further donations but sadly the terrible thing
10:50
is that she wouldn't and instead of stopping she pushed him even further she asked Kenichi if he could borrow some
10:57
more money from other lenders he hasn't tried yet anything to get another 50,000
11:02
yen to her immediately she would even go as far to teach him how to lie about his income to get approved it was almost
11:09
like she had done this before so the question here is was Kenichi the only
11:14
one to fall for her Trap by now he was drowning in financial debt and ignored
11:20
all creditors because he was terrified of what was coming even worse his parents own home was listed as the
11:27
billing address meaning that his family was now part of the mess and were absolutely furious with him and yet
11:34
despite all of this and throughout the chaos Ari seemed to remain indifferent
11:39
in fact when he told her how scared he was she would simply reply with there's nothing I can do I mean for someone who
11:46
has tried so hard to keep you financially stable and secure how can you then just turn it around and say yep
11:52
uh sorry mate but you're on your own so you might be wondering why well from what we can tell it does not not look
11:59
like he was looking for anything in particular he never asked for any favors and didn't seem to ask for anything in
12:06
return either it looked like he was simply genuinely wanting to help her out but even if he did want to say no well
12:13
Ari she knew exactly how to pull him back in with emotional manipulation one
12:18
night Kenichi messaged her to say that he had applied for another loan for her and her response well that was a single
12:25
emoji with the word yeah he said he hopes he would be successful to which aie replied I want to die if I can't
12:32
borrow any money Kenichi replied stay alive to which iie said I can't live
12:38
without you touched by this he then replied I'm happy me too I can't live
12:43
without you and then came those three big words iie said thank you as always I
12:50
love you with these messages it is fairly easy to see how Kenichi believed that
12:56
Ahi cared about him and maybe even love him when in reality all she saw him for
13:02
was a walk-in cash machine one that could be easily manipulated and eventually that illusion would finally
13:09
shatter by early 2023 Kenichi was in dire trouble because creditors were now
13:14
coming to the family's front door of course leaving his parents deeply frustrated with him and that's because
13:19
he was now late on several repayments he had actually loaned out more than 2.5 million yen from these companies the
13:26
equivalent of $222,000 us and all of that money had made its way to iry
13:31
desperate to make 's meet because you know he had absolutely no money at all at the time he started asking irie if
13:37
she could start repaying him back to begin with iie was full of excuses but even that wouldn't last for long because
13:44
soon after she would just simply ghost him entirely on January the 30th he asked for some cash to help with an
13:50
upcoming repayment date to which she replied if she could have two more days he then reminded her on February the 2nd
13:57
to which he received no response at all Kenichi then boosted her memory the next
14:02
day to which he was met with silence yet again and although she promised to pay him back on the 5th she then ignored all
14:09
future messages on the 11th 13th 16th and 26th both hopeless and helpless
14:15
kenichi's sadness would eventually turn into anger and there were two very good reasons for that I mean of course to
14:22
begin with she was ignoring all of his requests but Kenichi could also watch her live streams where he saw that she
14:28
was doing absolutely fine in fact Not only was she receiving many donations from other people but she also announced
14:35
her engagement in addition to this he also found out that she was now living in a semi luxurious apartment in the
14:41
middle of Tokyo with her boyfriend meaning that Not only was she financially comfortable but also safe
14:47
happy and in love which is great but of course she was also not giving a single Yen back to Kenichi meanwhile he was
14:54
living in squala for her Kenichi had been discarded and as for iie well she
14:59
wanted nothing to do with him and of course this made him Furious but at first kichi would at least try to fight
15:06
back in the most civil of ways moving into the year of 2023
15:13
Kenichi was quite clearly done with iry and so moving forward he sought to be repaid all of the money she owed him by
15:20
taking her to court it does seem that fortune was on his side too because in
15:25
December of that year and after months of Court appearances he would then win the case against her with the judge
15:31
ultimately ordering iie to repay him the full amount plus interest sadly iie did
15:38
not care at all and would even go as far as to mock the lawsuit on stream multiple times making rude comments
15:44
about Kenichi and even claiming he was an obsessive anti fan the news was sure
15:50
to leave him extremely upset to Kenichi she had been everything but to her he
15:55
was nothing at all and here is something else that made all of this even worse for him because he was watching her
16:02
streams quite religiously he knew not only how much she was making from tips but also from Big donations too with a
16:09
platinum badge on who watch she was one of the platform's top streamers at the time and when you reach that level well
16:16
according to what I can find online you're looking at roughly 400,000 Yen per month which at the time was
16:22
approximately $4,000 and yet despite the Court ruling
16:27
despite everything he had gone through and despite her Newfound success Kenichi wouldn't see a single Yen from her also
16:35
it's not like iie was putting any of the money to good use either because after doing a little bit of online digging
16:41
Kenichi was able to find a second Twitter account belonging to her it is theorized that she tried to keep this
16:48
account more discreet because well the reasons do seem quite obvious she was a
16:53
gambler and she had quite the addiction too in fact her very first picture was of her holding a bag full of poker chips
17:00
with a value of almost 550,000 Yen the equivalent of almost
17:06
$5,000 at the time and what do you know just like that Kenichi had his answer
17:12
and so at this point in the story he was thoroughly trapped he had borrowed money drowned himself in debt and was now
17:18
living in absolute poverty all for someone who had played him like a fool I mean he had even gone through the legal
17:24
system and then won his case but still nothing changed all he could do was sit there and watch the woman who had
17:30
manipulated him Thrive still making money still living her life as if nothing had happened by the year 2024 he
17:38
slowly began to emotionally and mentally unravel and by the year 2025 something
17:44
inside him snapped and he had finally made up his mind on March the 7th 2025 he sent her
17:53
one final message saying please give me my money back I'm in the negative because of all of the loan loans I
17:59
borrowed to lend to you and I can't live now can you please somehow pay me back at least 10,000 Yen Kenichi also told
18:06
her that he'd been taking a lot of pills and hadn't been sleeping at all that day because of how depressed he was and of
18:13
course after being vulnerable with her all she did was ignore him it was only a few days later that we would reach the
18:20
day that tragically she lost her life because on March 11th 2025 Ari decided
18:26
to live stream in the Shinjuku area she wanted to take the opportunity to speak to her fans while out of the property
18:32
and also check out a few places along the way Kenichi woke up to see that she was roaming around in Tokyo and would
18:39
even recognize where she was heading and so with this information at hand he put
18:44
his shoes on equipped himself with several knives and then sadly decided to pay her a little visit however he would
18:52
have to travel into the city first and so when he left his home he took the train from oyama station located about
18:59
50 m North and then rode for nearly 2 hours to Shinjuku meanwhile aie started
19:05
her stream near takano Baba station and then made her way towards Shinjuku Kenichi tried to follow her as he
19:11
watched her stream and although she kept moving he was walking with intent at a faster pace and then finally he found
19:19
her looking into the distance he could see her standing by her tripod talking to her audience while she was completely
19:26
unaware of the impending d Doom at the time iie had more than 6,000 people
19:32
tuned in a very large audience who also were entirely unaware of what was about
19:38
to happen her viewers recall hearing screams several cries for help and even a man with a Sinister blank look in his
19:45
eyes tragically there was absolutely nothing they could do many tried to ask her questions While others watched on in
19:52
horror and with this being a live stream we can even see this footage for ourselves when the police arrived they
19:59
found a knife with a 13 cm blade tossed by the side of the road it was covered
20:05
in blood and so naturally it was determined to be the murder weapon after arresting Kenichi they would also find
20:12
two more knives in his backpack in case you know one wasn't enough going back to
20:17
the live stream for a second the screen would eventually turn black despite the lack of visuals I's viewers could still
20:24
hear Kenichi repeatedly ask are you dead yet on top of that they could also hear
20:29
him repeatedly kick her as the sirens grew louder in the distance we begin with a crime that has
20:36
shocked Japan the brutal killing of an Internet personality while she was live
20:41
streaming on the streets of Tokyo NHK has learned from investigative sources
20:47
that the suspect told them he wanted to hurt the victim after he lent her a
20:52
large sum of money that she failed to return at the scene of the crime MERS
20:59
have placed flowers drinks and snacks as a
21:04
memorial I'm sure she had many things she wanted to do with her life it's
21:12
heartbreaking seeing news about the death of someone my age is upsetting I
21:18
feel sad and of course that is when the authorities arrived and then arrested
21:24
Kenichi soon enough AR's autopsy report would confirm that she'd been stabbed more than 30 times across her neck chest
21:31
and shoulders and with him striking her so many times it became quite evident to the officers that he held a lot of
21:37
resentment towards her as many of you all know the more times a victim is stabbed usually means the more emotion
21:43
is involved with this case happening so recently kenichi's fate is yet to be determined meanwhile Aris is
21:50
unfortunately obvious random side note but I do find it quite disappointing how often the media failed in this case if
21:56
it wasn't for leaked messages it was false information instead in fact many people initially believed it was another
22:03
imami who in Japan is a popular voice actress it got so bad that she would
22:09
even have to post several statements online just to confirm that she was still alive since making this video
22:15
Kenichi has already spoken to the authorities sharing his motive he told the investigators I do admit that it was
22:22
me but I did not mean to kill her I lent her more than 2 million yen about 20,000
22:29
relative for living and other expenses I made up my mind to attack her because I
22:34
knew she wouldn't give my money back meanwhile The public's reaction to this case seems to be fairly mixed and
22:41
complicated actually this is just my opinion here but do I think that AR's Behavior was okay absolutely not she
22:47
manipulated the hell out of this guy but do I think she deserved to die as a result of her actions and behavior no
22:54
not that either although Kenichi initially took the correct course of action that being through the courts of course he would then go overboard with
23:01
murder I mean he likely felt extremely overwhelmed and that there was no way to get out of his ever growing mountain of
23:07
debt which of course he blamed solely on iie but the truth is he should have never felt inclined to donate past his
23:14
means let alone do it i' also find it quite interesting how wrong Western media got the story because if you look
23:20
on Google at least at this point in time you'll find so many articles saying that he was just a lustful fanatic or even an
23:27
anti-an but of course as you now know this case is very different to how the media portrayed
23:33
it our next story today takes us back to the United States and towards a streamer who I'm sure many of you are familiar
23:39
with and so with that said this is the case of
CASE 2
23:52
amaranth the date was March the 2nd 2025 and given the time of the year it
23:58
was a reasonably warm day in Houston now Houston is not just a big city it's
24:04
Texas big it's a city where freeways Loop endlessly humidity clings to you like an old friend and opportunity
24:11
stretches as far as the Horizon did you know that more than 145 languages are
24:16
spoken here and the food scene is an absolutely wild adventure ranging from Vietnamese Cajun Crawfish boils right
24:23
the way through to awardwinning texmax and like I said let's not forget the weather because Summers here feel like
24:30
stepping into a sauna but one thing I will say about its residence is that all people living in Houston are very
24:36
resilient hurricanes may hit and the traffic may crawl but it does seem that nothing breaks this
24:43
city and it does seem that the people are just as Fierce here too because unfortunately Houston's violent crime
24:49
rate is more than 150% higher than the national average I mean maybe it's the humidity honestly I feel like Houston's
24:57
temperatures are high enough toook anyone's brain and unfortunately this story includes four bozos who were
25:02
cooked enough to try and Rob one of the world's most famous influencers and it was all caught on camera now if I say
25:08
the name amaranth I'm sure that many of you will vaguely know who I'm talking about and I'm sure all of you would have
25:14
never thought you'd see a story about her on this channel well unfortunately she ran into some trouble earlier this
25:20
month so for those of you who don't know who amanth is she's a streamer who has more than 6 million followers online and
25:26
has been in the news for some quite controversial reasons and so before we dive into the crime let's first take a
25:32
look at who she is and how she found herself in the middle of a gunfight Caitlyn cusa who is publicly
25:40
known as amarath was always a dreamer born on December the 2nd 1993 in Houston
25:46
Texas she spent most of her childhood fascinated by Art gaming and animals
25:51
creativity was always her passion and so it's no surprise that it wasn't long
25:56
before she jumped into the world of costume design and cosplay in 2015 and
26:02
at the age of 22 she founded her own character company soon after twitch would ask her to join as a content
26:08
creator where she would go on to live stream making costumes and trying them out under the name of amaranth she
26:15
invited viewers into her world sharing everything from her cosplay creation process to gaming dancing ASMR and then
26:23
adult hot tub streaming it was her personality and diverse content that quickly captivated audiences and by the
26:31
year of 2021 she had amassed a staggering following of more than 6 million followers solidifying herself as
26:38
one of the most watched female streamers on the twitch platform however there were interesting complications to her
26:45
journey too pushing the boundaries of content creation guidelines would mean facing the repercussions of platform
26:51
policies and sometimes that would even include suspensions by now she had also
26:57
moved into to the world of only fans where she had earned more than $33 million through the platform there is a
27:04
lot of debate around only fans but regardless of whether you are for or against it there is no denying that she
27:10
dominated the adult content creation community in 2021 she announced the
27:16
purchase of a gas station and only a few months later would even acquire an inflatable pool toy company in addition
27:22
to this recognizing a need within her industry she would also launch a matchmaking service to connect other
27:29
content creators with personal assistance once again she knew how to build wealth and Community as an avid
27:36
animal lover she also expressed her dream of establishing an animal sanctuary which is a passion project
27:42
that highlights her softer Nature by 2023 she hosted the 2023 expers Creator
27:48
Awards the same awards ceremony that the victim of our previous video Amy Harwick attended she also signed a deal with
27:55
kick which of course is twitch's competitor all of Caitlyn's numbers do seem to be astronomical 3.8 million
28:02
followers on X 6.2 million on Twitch and more than $20 million in crypto which we
28:08
know because she posted this tweet online however off camera amaranth was
28:14
facing personal struggles too she had recently revealed her problematic marriage broken mental health and the
28:21
many pressures she faced as an online personality in fact our case today would
28:26
only happen because of this popularity and that takes us to the date of March the 2nd 2025 the time 10:51 p.m. it was
28:35
during that moment that amaranth was in bed trying to sleep and that is when she suddenly woke up to the sound of two
28:41
large thuds coming from downstairs beneath her she wasn't quite sure what it was but it sounded like someone was
28:47
breaking in and it certainly wasn't her dogs or her husband's neck now I think we've all been in this situation before
28:54
where we hear random noises in our home while we're alone and our mind immediately skips to Intruders or
28:59
possibly even ghosts well for Caitlyn this was no Casper situation it was the
29:04
real deal scrambling to find her phone she then called Nick to find out where he was and although he said that he was
29:10
in fact on the property he was in another building across the driveway moments later those thuds turned into a
29:16
violent crash and then only a couple seconds after that Caitlyn found herself in the middle of a hostage situation
29:23
before she even knew it three masked men had smashed through the sliding door beneath her and second later they were
29:28
in her room with a gun pointed towards her head they screamed at her to stand up she had no idea what they wanted
29:35
Caitlyn was then pistol whipped multiple times and that is when they revealed their motive one of the men shouting
29:41
where is the crypto it seems that they were after her money and this was only days after she had posted about her
29:47
cryptocurrency however what they didn't know at the time is that while all of this was going on amaranth was still on
29:53
the phone to her husband who was listening in on the other end with all of the screaming scaming threats and
29:58
hitting heard throughout the phone call Nick had all of the information he needed that is when he retreated to the
30:04
bathroom to find his staccato CS firearm before then sliding on some underwear and equipping his Kevlar vest but
30:11
setting all of this up would unfortunately take a minute or two and so Caitlyn would have to sit tight for
30:16
now in the meantime she was cornered and all eyes were on her to answer that question where she was keeping her
30:23
cryptocurrency I'm sure that most of you know what it is by now but for those who don't crypto is a virtual currency that
30:29
operates on the blockchain without a central bank so I mean honestly I have
30:34
no idea what these thugs were thinking because it's not like she could magically open up a special briefcase
30:40
and then give them some kind of golden USB stick having this much crypto locked up on the platform was much more
30:46
complicated than that it was at this moment that Caitlyn realized that she was not dealing with rational or logical
30:52
people and so with that in mind she devised her own plan instead she was going to play their game and lead them
30:59
to where they think she might be holding the magical crypto meanwhile Nick was the man with all of the Intel not only
31:06
could he hear Caitlyn and The Intruders through her phone but interestingly enough he had total surveillance of them
31:13
too with multiple cameras being laced throughout the property both indoors and Outdoors soon after a kitchen
31:19
surveillance camera would capture one of the men pulling her by the hair to keep her close by the other two men seemed to
31:25
be trailing behind them shouting at her for the crypto stop playing no it's across the stop playing it's across the
31:32
way go okay
31:38
go Caitlyn then LED them throughout the kitchen across the driveway and towards the building that she knew Nick was in
31:45
it is worth noting here that Nick and Caitlyn did not have any direct communication with each other at this
31:51
stage but despite this it does look like they both knew exactly what the other person was thinking their understanding
31:58
of each other here was really impressive to be honest and it does make you wonder what would have happened if neither of
32:03
them knew what to do a surveillance camera then captures Caitlyn and the three men behind her arriving at his man
32:09
cave that is when she opens the external door walks inside and the other three follow her in
32:20
Pursuit here in here come on go go go go
32:31
opening the door gave way to the bottom of the staircase in which Caitlyn then pushed herself against the wall and
32:37
looked up and standing there at the top of the stairway in nothing but his underwear and a Kevlar vest her husband
32:43
Nick stood tall and ready his handgun pointed directly at The Intruders behind
32:48
her after calling his wife to duck he then shouted something similar to duck you before then firing three shots at
32:55
the men behind her although he was Tech technically the one without any trousers on it is quite ironic that the robbers
33:01
who were actually the ones to be caught with their pants down and by that I mean completely taken by surprise and as soon
33:08
as the three shots were fired they then u-turned and sprinted out of the building the surveillance camera
33:14
capturing them running away into the distance while one of them screamed I've been shot I've been hit
33:33
at the end of the gunfight Nick had two options from here he could either chase after the men or get his wife to safety
33:40
he chose the latter pulling her upstairs and placing her in the Panic Room before then barricading himself and calling the
33:46
police he would also use her Twitter account to say I'm being robbed at gunpoint this is not a prank
33:54
help now this was actually quite a smart move made by but for the dumbest of reasons with Caitlyn being amaranth she
34:01
receives not only a lot of love online but a lot of hate from strangers too and that includes being swatted several
34:07
times by anti fans to clarify swatting is when someone makes a fake call to the police to try and get them to attend a
34:13
property for a major offense often leading to that Target being ambushed by officers and so with that in mind Nick
34:20
figured that if he wanted the police to believe him then he had to try and make this as official as possible therefore
34:25
using Caitlyn's Twitter to verify only a few a few minutes later several police officers arrived where they then secured
34:31
the scene and confirmed that all Intruders had run away tonight we are hearing from a Houston area influencer
34:37
who was chased down held up at gunpoint even pistol whipped inside her home the
34:42
whole thing it was caught in surveillance video the armed robbers came looking for tens of millions of
34:48
dollars in cryptocurrency they left with a bullet wound I hear two loud like
34:54
crashes coming from below my master but I didn't I think it was the dog it was very loud and I told them well somebody
35:00
is coming in here right now and then then as soon as I said that they kicked down the door they keep saying where's the crypto where's the crypto Caitlyn
35:07
was pistol whipped a total of three times so she decided to play along the
35:12
couple believes the attackers may have been drawn to the home after a post was made on amaran social media showing a
35:18
screenshot of her $20 million in cryptocurrency that she held at the time
35:24
but nobody can say for certain now this story could have ended so differently if Nick and Caitlyn hadn't responded so
35:30
well and thankfully Nick's surprise attack was so compelling against all three Intruders however unknown to any
35:36
of them at the time it turns out that they would actually bump into one of their attackers again later that evening
35:42
the one item to be taken from the property appeared to be Caitlyn's MacBook and so in a panic she tracked
35:48
its location using the find my function and well that is when she realized that the MacBook had actually pinged at the
35:54
same hospital where she herself had received treatment this means that the MacBook and one of
36:00
The Intruders must have gone to the hospital this also means that it is very likely she could have directly seen one
36:06
of the attackers while at the hospital completely unaware that he had tried to rob her only a few hours prior as a
36:12
result of being pushed around pistol whipped and then beaten Caitlyn seemed to suffer bruising to her head and her
36:19
hands so far scans have shown no severe injuries but it is also worth noting
36:24
that she required three stitches on the left side of her head so what precisely was the motive well it is theorized that
36:31
Caitlyn was targeted by her attackers after she had revealed her crypto wallet on social media asking fans help do I
36:38
sell or hold the image she posted shows her holding over $2 million worth of
36:44
bitcoin which by no stretch of the imagination is a huge number so that
36:49
creates a motive but how did they find out where she lived well that part is not yet so clear according to amaranth
36:56
she is very careful and not leaking her address online however keeping that sort of thing private is very difficult in
37:02
the long term and moving well it's just extremely timec consuming and
37:08
frustrating judging by the lack of intelligence from her attackers I wouldn't be surprised if they simply
37:14
knew her address through happenstance and then felt like they had a golden opportunity after seeing her Bitcoin
37:19
numbers online speaking of officers were first to arrest what they believed as the getaway driver and then only a
37:26
couple of days later arrested the three men which they believed were the ones seen in the surveillance footage so how
37:33
precisely did they track them down well the initial investigation would lead detectives to an apartment complex after
37:39
surveillance video and a report of a stolen vehicle provided multiple key leads a resident had reported stolen
37:46
license plates from two vehicles and while canvasing the area investigators discovered School paperwork with the
37:52
name Demarcus Moray that being half the name of one of the potential suspects shortly after this there were reports of
37:59
a dark colored Toyota which seemed to match the description of the same vehicle used during the home invasion
38:05
and then shortly after on March the 5th license plate cameras would capture the vehicle and traffic the following day a
38:12
trooper would stop that Toyota in Galveston County when the driver of the car failed to use a turn signal that is
38:18
when the driver named Salazar Guerrero was arrested for not having a license it is also noted that during the search of
38:25
the vehicle cops found a large blood stain in the rear passenger seat while being questioned Salazar would
38:31
eventually admit to being the getaway driver during that home invasion he would also confess that his friend
38:36
Campbell coordinated to the crime and that he at the time did not know the other two suspects he would also admit
38:43
to driving in exchange for his own cut of the cryptocurrency and confirmed that he had dropped off one of the suspects
38:49
at the hospital after Nick had shot him so with that said officers now had Demarcus Morris Jr Dylan neso Campbell
38:57
and Brian Anthony Salazar Guerrero all between the ages of 17 and 19 and by the
39:03
way the fourth suspect remains unnamed due to his age being 16 years old with
39:08
all four suspects now finally arrested they have all received charges of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated
39:14
robbery with a deadly weapon so I think it's kind of obvious but I guess we'll see where this goes in the future two of
39:21
four teenagers charged with assaulting and trying to steal Bitcoin from a popular influencer amaranth well they
39:27
were in court today as well now amaran says that three men broke into her home in Northwest Harris County earlier this
39:34
month pistol whipped her and also demanded cryptocurrency well today 17-year-old Demarcus Morris and
39:40
18-year-old Dylan Campbell were charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon
39:46
now 19-year-old Brian Guerrero bonded out last week a 16-year-old has also
39:52
been identified as a suspect in this case although the crypto height failed
39:57
to materialize it did unfortunately come with several consequences to Caitlyn and her husband Nick PTSD and future
40:05
emotional complications aside Nick was now forced to reveal his identity which
40:10
up until this point in time had remained Anonymous to the world it is true that this may actually work well for them
40:17
because now both Caitlyn and Nick can be on stream together which is something that they were never able to do in the
40:23
past it could also possibly backfire on Caitlyn's only fans business and Nick well he is negatively affected
40:30
too Nick was at the center of some controversy only a couple of years prior but at the time was kind of protected
40:37
because he remained Anonymous however now there is a face and a name to amaranth's husband he might receive some
40:44
fresh heat humans were never designed to be so hyperconnected to each other but thanks
40:50
to technology we're only a few clicks away from billions of people this is particularly difficult for any of those
40:56
who are wellknown on online especially if their career depends on them sharing details about their lives when it comes
41:02
to big and obvious things like where you live it can be extremely difficult to try and outsmart millions of people in
41:08
the long run and unfortunately that is the predicament that Nick and Caitlyn found themselves in I mean for example
41:15
how many people live with a green g wagon on a ranch in Texas not many I assume I also think that maybe it wasn't
41:21
a good idea to share your crypto earnings online because you never know how someone's going to react but at
41:26
least this lesson learned did not have any permanent consequences now despite the robbery charges bruises and injuries
41:34
some people believe that this was staged and all merely done for clout personally I don't think those rumors are true but
41:40
you believe what you want I'm just glad that no one died and everything will eventually return to normal and with
41:46
that said I think I'll end this case and video here today folks before I go though I'd love to know what you think
