An Indian teenager is in hot water after threatening to carry out a deadly attack on a U.S. international airport after he failed to receive support from the FBI in relation to an alleged Bitcoin scam.<\/span><\/p>\n Bitcoin\u2019s price may be experiencing an extreme lack of volatility, however, a new report involving a Bitcoin scammer has led to some potentially explosive action. <\/span><\/p>\n According to a\u00a0local report<\/a>, an 18-year-old student from the Northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has been detained and charged by anti-terrorism authorities, after the teen made a number of deadly threats against Miami International Airport.<\/span><\/p>\n The teen claims that he had taken $1,000 from his father and invested in Bitcoin, turning a massive profit from his initial investment. The 18-year-old then took his earnings, and invested in what turned out to be a scam. The young man explained during his interrogation, that the “fraudster” had promised massive returns, but instead made off with all of the teen\u2019s money.<\/span><\/p>\n Upset, and unsure how to go about getting his money back, the unnamed teen decided to call the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) \u2013 as many as 50 times \u2013 over the last month in an attempt to seek help and bring the scammer to justice. The FBI ignored his pleas for help, however, which caused the teen to escalate the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n “After not getting proper response from FBI, I made calls to Miami Airport authorities and threatened an attack. I told them that I would bring AK-47s, grenades and suicide belts and blow up the airport,” the 18-year-old said, according to interrogation reports.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The teen is said to have used a fake identity and fake email account to make the threats over the internet, but he was unable to hide his tracks. The FBI sought the help of India\u2019s National Investigation Agency<\/a> to help track down the individual, and the young male was eventually picked up by the Uttar Pradesh police department\u2019s anti-terrorism squad and is facing a number of charges.<\/span><\/p>\n Irrational exuberance and complete despair are two ends of an emotional rollercoaster cryptocurrency investors have been riding for the past year.<\/span><\/p>\n It began in mid-November, when Bitcoin\u2019s price went parabolic and exploded to its all-time high of $20,000. Investors struck it rich, and talk of Bitcoin\u2019s price reaching $1 million per BTC was enough to keep hopes high. Except come January, the price of all leading cryptocurrencies began to crash, and a 11-month-long bear market ensued, leaving investors at the brink of capitulation and chaos.<\/span><\/p>\nBitcoin Scam Leads to Volatile Situation at Miami Airport<\/span><\/h2>\n
