The FBI has reportedly admitted that “a fatal mistake” involving crypto might have made matters worse in the investigation into Nancy Guthrie disappearance. Insiders from the FBI’s task said that the kidnappers initially demanded $4 million in Bitcoin, and described Nancy as “safe but scared,” per The Sunday Guardian.
However, the FBI task force, jointly investigating the case with the Pima County Sheriff Department, transferred only $152 in Bitcoin instead of the whole amount. This was reportedly part of a plan that aimed to “tickle the wire,” but the abductor did not make any contact after that.
