Due to an increase in the number of cases involving a bitcoin-related scam targeting high-net-worth individuals in Ireland, Irish police are on high alert. A suspicious sale of 500,000 euros from a dormant account has already sparked questions at a local bank. Authorities have already searched a home in south Dublin that is believed to be connected to some of the suspects, seizing cellphones, laptops, cash, designer handbags, and jewellery.
