逾800万美元加密货币被持枪抢走：Garcia兄弟绑架一家人数小时，合计被判366个月监禁
美国司法部明尼苏达区联邦检察官办公室10月30日宣布，来自 Texas 州 Waller 的 Raymond Christian Garcia 与 Isiah Angelo Garcia 兄弟因参与2025年9月在 Minnesota 州 Grant 的一起持枪抢劫与绑架案，分别被判处180个月与186个月监禁，合计366个月。
两名被告于2026年10月29日在联邦地区法官 Donovan W. Frank 面前接受判刑，此前已于2026年6月18日认罪。
根据法庭文件，2025年9月19日，Garcia 兄弟从 Texas 前往 Minnesota，在受害者家中持枪绑架 Victim 1 及其家人。他们用束线带捆住全家人，持枪胁迫逾九小时，要求 Victim 1 交出其加密货币账户的访问权限。
当 Victim 1 转出的金额未达预期时，兄弟二人强迫他驾车带 Isiah Garcia 前往位于 Minnesota 北部的家庭小屋，在那里强迫他取出更多加密货币存储设备并转出资金。两人最终迫使 Victim 1 转出超过800万美元的加密货币。
受害者的儿子拨打911后，兄弟二人逃离现场，执法部门随后在 Texas 州 Houston 附近将两人识别并逮捕。
联邦检察官 Daniel N. Rosen 表示，Garcia 兄弟对受害者及其家人实施了明目张胆、蓄谋的暴力行为，其办公室将继续追查以恐吓与威胁手段侵害受害者的人，无论他们逃往何处。
联邦调查局（FBI）明尼阿波利斯外地办事处负责人 Christopher D. Dotson 表示，两人闯入家庭的安宁、绑架受害者、持枪恐吓一家人长达数小时，并扰乱了整个社区，是有目标、蓄意且极其暴力的行为。
此案由联邦调查局（FBI）与 Washington County 警长办公室调查，助理联邦检察官 Rebecca E. Kline 负责起诉。

More Than $8 Million in Cryptocurrency Taken at Gunpoint: Garcia Brothers Sentenced to a Combined 366 Months for Kidnapping a Family
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota announced on October 30 that Raymond Christian Garcia and Isiah Angelo Garcia, both of Waller, Texas, were sentenced to 180 months and 186 months in prison, respectively, a combined 366 months, for their roles in a September 2025 armed robbery and kidnapping of a family in Grant, Minnesota.
The brothers were sentenced before U.S. District Judge Donovan W. Frank on October 29, 2026, and had previously pleaded guilty on June 18, 2026.
According to court documents, on September 19, 2025, the Garcia brothers traveled from Texas to Minnesota and kidnapped Victim 1 and his family in their home at gunpoint. They zip-tied the family, held them at gunpoint for over nine hours, and demanded access to Victim 1's cryptocurrency accounts.
When Victim 1 did not transfer the expected amount, the brothers forced him to drive Isiah Garcia to the family's cabin in upstate Minnesota, where he was forced to retrieve additional cryptocurrency storage devices and transfer the funds. The defendants ultimately compelled Victim 1 to transfer more than $8 million in cryptocurrency.
The brothers fled after the victim's son called 911, and law enforcement later identified and arrested them near Houston, Texas.
"The Garcia brothers committed a brazen and calculated act of violence against the victim and his family. My office will continue to pursue those who use intimidation and threats to exploit victims, no matter where they flee," said U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen.
FBI Minneapolis Field Office Special Agent in Charge Christopher D. Dotson said the defendants violated the sanctity of a home, abducted a victim and terrorized a family at gunpoint for hours in a targeted, deliberate and extremely violent act.
The case was investigated by the FBI and the Washington County Sheriff's Office and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebecca E. Kline.
