Evan Luthra Says Oxford Attackers Stole More Than $2 Million

Crypto investor Evan Luthra said five masked men assaulted him in Oxford, England, in November 2025, then unlocked his phone with Face ID before taking more than $2 million in crypto.

Luthra has publicly detailed the incident. He said the men entered his private vehicle after it turned onto a quiet road and beat him. In about 30 minutes, he said, they moved more than $1.5 million in crypto from his Binance account and about $600,000 in Ether (ETH) from his Gate account. He also said they took a Richard Mille watch.

Binance and MEXC helped freeze and recover some funds, Luthra said. He said Binance returned about $370,000 and total recoveries were close to $1 million.
