March 4, 2025
This incident highlights a troubling trend of violent crimes targeting cryptocurrency holders, as experts warn that rising crypto values make investors prime targets for such attacks.
Her husband, who heard the commotion, armed himself and fired shots at the intruders, potentially hitting one before they fled the scene.
In a harrowing moment during the invasion, Amouranth tweeted for help instead of calling emergency services, fearing that a phone call would lead to her death.
Amouranth later shared her traumatic experience on social media, detailing the violence she endured and confirming that she managed to injure one of the assailants.
Despite the ordeal, she reassured her fans that she is okay, although she was taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
The assailants, three armed individuals, broke into her home around 10:51 p.m. by shooting out a patio window and kicking in her bedroom door while she was asleep.
Once inside, they demanded access to her cryptocurrency accounts, specifically targeting her Bitcoin holdings, which she had publicly disclosed to exceed $20 million.
During the confrontation, Amouranth was physically assaulted, suffering multiple pistol-whips that left her with visible injuries and blood on her face.
Kaitlyn "Amouranth" Siragusa, a prominent social media influencer, was the victim of a violent home invasion in Houston on March 2, 2025.
Amouranth, who boasts a substantial online following of over 14 million across various platforms, has diversified her brand with ventures that include an AI dating bot and a unique beer product.
The Houston Police Department responded to her 911 call shortly after the incident, launching an investigation and urging the public for any information regarding the suspects.
The home invasion comes on the heels of recent controversy surrounding Amouranth, including backlash for anti-trans comments made during a stream.
