Kaitlyn Siragusa, better known as Amouranth, experienced a horrifying scenario on Sunday that painfully exposes the risks of crypto-wealth. The popular streamer and content creator reported on X that three armed men broke into her home in Houston, Texas, determined to steal her digital fortune. “They held a gun to my head and said ‘log in’,” she wrote, while still “covered in blood”.
The drama began around 11:00 PM local time, when Siragusa was sleeping. According to her statement to the Houston Police Department, the intruders shot a patio window and kicked in her bedroom door. With guns drawn, they dragged her out of bed, screaming for access to her cryptocurrency. “I’m being robbed at gunpoint,” she posted live on X, a desperate cry for help to her 3.8 million followers. “This is not a joke.”
The robbers forced her to unlock her phone, with a gun to her head. “Calling was a death sentence, so I tweeted,” she explained later. They failed to plunder her crypto-accounts – possibly due to quick security or pure chaos – but Siragusa was severely beaten. She was hit with a gun, to the point of bleeding. Yet the tide turned: her husband intervened, fired his own gun, and according to Siragusa, hit one of the suspects. The three men fled on foot, leaving a trail of blood now being investigated by the police.
Security cameras captured the drama. In a clip that Siragusa shared on X, she leads three men in black hoodies through her house. Then shots ring out – three quick bangs – and the intruders run away in panic. “I’ve been hit!” one of them screams, clutching his arm. Siragusa, injured but stable, was taken to the hospital. “I’m covered in blood, but not all of it is mine,” she wrote, a grim detail from a night she barely survived.
Siragusa’s wealth made her a target. With 6.7 million Twitch followers and an OnlyFans empire that earned her $57 million in four years, she is an icon. In November 2024 she showed on X a Coinbase balance of $20 million in Bitcoin and $79,500 in Ethereum, musing: “Sell or hodl?” That openness, combined with her status, seems to have attracted criminals. This is not unique: in 2024, the US and the UK already reported arrests after deadly crypto-robberies, a trend that is escalating as digital loot is easier to grab than ever.
The Houston police are fully investigating, with forensic work on that blood trail as a possible breakthrough. Siragusa is safe, but shaken – her posts on X show a mix of relief and trauma. Fortunately, she can recount this drama and hopefully the perpetrators will be caught.
