Texas Brothers Admit to Gunpoint Kidnapping of Minnesota Family, Forcing Transfer of Over $8 Million in Cryptocurrency

BlockBeats News, June 19th - In Waller, Texas, USA, two brothers, Isiah Angelo Garcia and Raymond Christian Garcia, admitted to committing an armed kidnapping. On September 19, 2025, the two broke into a home in Grant, Minnesota, where they used a gun to threaten and tie up the family for over 8 hours. They forced the father to transfer over $8 million from his cryptocurrency account and compelled him to go to a northern cabin to retrieve more storage devices. After the victims' son called the police, the two escaped but were later arrested in the Houston area. Recently, in a Minneapolis federal court, the brothers pleaded guilty to "interference with commerce by means of robbery." Each faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and has agreed to compensate over $8 million. The sentencing date is yet to be determined.
