Four individuals have been charged in connection with the home invasion of popular streamer Kaitlyn Siragusa, known as Amouranth. Siragusa reported that multiple intruders held her at gunpoint, demanding access to her cryptocurrency by forcing her to hand over her private keys.
According to Fox 26, Bryan Anthony Salazar Guerrero, Dylan Nesho Campbell, Demarcus Morris Jr., and an unnamed 16-year-old, have been implicated in the case. Morris, Campbell, and Guerrero, face charges of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.
Siragusa stated that the intruders, armed with firearms, broke into her home late at night. She reported being physically assaulted and held at gunpoint as the suspects forced her to unlock her phone and demanded access to her cryptocurrency.
Siragusa managed to keep her husband on speakerphone during the ordeal, allowing him to assess the situation as he armed himself with a handgun and tried to determine the intruders’ location in the house.

Meanwhile, the armed suspects took the phone in an attempt to access a cryptocurrency app. In an effort to buy time, the streamer guided the attackers through the home, persuading them to search for a cold storage device.
Subsequently, while the armed intruders searched for the device, Siragusa seized the opportunity to escape upstairs to her husband. He had been monitoring the break-in through the home’s security cameras, witnessing the events unfold in real-time.
After Siragusa managed to lead the armed intruders to her husband, he fired three rounds, possibly injuring one of the suspects before they fled the scene.

In late 2024, Siragusa publicly shared details of her cryptocurrency holdings on social media. She posted screenshots revealing a balance of over $20 million in Bitcoin (BTC) and approximately $75,450 in Ethereum (ETH).
The disclosure drew attention to the growing presence of digital assets among high-profile influencers and the potential security risks associated with publicly sharing financial information.
