OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman's ex-boyfriend was robbed in a home invasion, losing $11 million worth of encryption assets.

On November 26, according to sources from the police and informed individuals, a tech investor who previously dated OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman had their residence in San Francisco robbed at gunpoint last Saturday night, resulting in a loss of $11 million in encryption assets. Surveillance footage shows the suspect disguised as a delivery person, holding a white package, ringing the doorbell of the $4.4 million home. When the suspect falsely claimed to be “Joshua” delivering a package and identified himself as a UPS partner employee, the victim opened the door and confirmed he was Joshua. After feigning a request for a signature and borrowing a pen, the suspect followed the resident inside, and a loud noise was heard shortly after. Police reports indicate that the suspect held the victim at gunpoint indoors, bound him with tape, emptied his encryption account, and stole his phone and computer. When police arrived at 6:45 PM, they found the victim with multiple bruises. Informed sources revealed that the gunman stole $11 million worth of Ether and Bitcoin, believed to be a targeted act by an organized crime group. According to insiders, the suspect tortured the victim after binding him, beating him while on a hands-free call, with a foreign accent on the other end continuously stating the victim's personal information. The thief then emptied all of his encryption wallets within approximately 90 minutes. It is reported that the 31-year-old homeowner, Lachy Groom, is a venture capitalist and the former boyfriend of 40-year-old Sam Altman. Property records show he purchased the house from the Altman brothers for $1.8 million in 2021.
