Cryptocurrency, said to be safer than bank accounts and online cash, may be losing a bit of its reputation. The San Francisco company, Augur, created the Reputation Token, and in December of 2016, they contacted the FBI about investors and employees who reported theft of cryptocurrency funds.
Those who claim that video games encourage crime might be onto something in this specific case, although not in the violent way that is often portrayed. A group of video game players who met playing the popular online first person shooter game “Call of Duty” have been accused in Chicago of thieving more than three million dollars in cryptocurrency. Two men, one from Dolton and the other from Bloomington, stand accused of hacking in order to steal this massive amount of online cryptocash.
