Iceland’s “Big Bitcoin Heist” Suspect Escapes From Prison
The suspected mastermind behind the theft of 600 bitcoin mining rigs in Iceland has escaped from prison and fled to Sweden, police said.
Sindri Thor Stefansson escaped through a window of the low-security Sogn prison in rural southern Iceland. Guards only realized Stefansson was gone after he had boarded the Icelandair flight bound for Stockholm’s Arlanda airport at Keflavik Airport.
