The home of OpenAI founder Sam Altman's ex-boyfriend was burglarized, resulting in the loss of $11 million in cryptocurrency assets.

According to police and sources, the San Francisco home of investor Lachy Groom (ex-boyfriend of ChatGPT owner Sam Altman) was targeted in a burglary on Saturday night, with $11 million worth of crypto assets stolen.

Armed robbers, posing as deliverymen and carrying a white package, pulled out a gun after victim Joshua opened the door and confirmed his identity. They then bound him with duct tape, stole his phone and laptop, and emptied his cryptocurrency accounts. Police sources say the robbers stole $11 million worth of Ethereum and Bitcoin, which is believed to be a targeted robbery by an organized crime group.

Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the attacker bound and tortured the victim, beating him while playing external sounds through his phone's speakerphone. Someone read the victim's personal information aloud over the phone, and the attacker then emptied his encrypted wallet over approximately 90 minutes. Police arrived at the scene at 6:45 PM and found the victim with minor injuries, including bruises.

The homeowner, Lachy Groom (31), is a venture capitalist who previously associated with Sam Altman (40), CEO of OpenAI. Property records show that Groom purchased the property from Altman's brother in 2021 for $1.8 million. According to the New York Post, Joshua, a tech investor, lives in the residence with Groom.

Renowned San Francisco tech investor Garry Tan shared surveillance footage on the X platform and appealed to the public for assistance in tracking down the suspect. Tan stated that self-custody of crypto assets seems like a good idea, but it's not always the case, and recommends that storing long-term assets in Vaults (such as Coinbase or elsewhere) is the safest option.

Police stated that no arrests have been made so far and the investigation is ongoing.
