Isiah and Raymond Garcia were sentenced to 15.5 and 15 years in federal prison, respectively, for holding a family in Grant, Minnesota, at gunpoint for roughly nine hours. The brothers forced the victims to transfer more than $8 million in digital assets to wallets they controlled before fleeing and being arrested through evidence left at the scene. They pleaded guilty on June 18, 2026, to a federal charge of Interference with Commerce by Robbery, covering the September 19, 2025 attack.

Prosecutors said the family was targeted because it was known to hold cryptocurrency, highlighting the risks associated with personal custody and publicly revealing digital wealth.
