Crypto investor Evan Luthra said men used Face ID to unlock his phone in an Oxford robbery, then took more than $2 million in crypto from two exchange accounts.
Luthra said the transfers took about 30 minutes. Luthra dated the incident to November 2025 and said the men assaulted him after his vehicle turned onto a quiet Oxford road.
According to Luthra, more than $1.5 million in crypto was taken from his Binance account, while about $600,000 in Ether (ETH) was taken from Gate. He also said the attackers took a Richard Mille watch.
Luthra said Binance and MEXC helped limit the losses and retrieve part of the stolen crypto. He said Binance accounted for roughly $370,000 of the recovered funds, while overall recoveries approached $1 million.
