Unchained reports that former FBI agent Patrick Yaroch pleaded guilty to stealing $2.47 million in cryptocurrency. Initially, he claimed to have transferred about $1 million from 10 cases. However, he later admitted to around 100 transfers linked to 35 FBI investigations. This discrepancy highlights a significant increase in the reported theft amount compared to his initial statements made in July, as detailed in an August affidavit.
