Brea Police Seek ‘Mr. Flashy Shoes' in Bitcoin Swindle for $17,000 Watch

"The money disappeared, so I immediately messaged, tried to call," Nevarez said."I said, 'Hey, the money's not showing up.' Nothing. No text message, no phone call."

We know the pictures aren’t great, but someone forgot to tell this guy that he should at least try to blend in when committing a crime.Police liken the scenario to a modern day check kiting scheme, a swindle in which someone writes a check, the seller sees the deposit, but the 'buyer' doesn't actually have money to cover it. By the time it clears the bank, the money is gone.

"People have a lot of time out there," said Nevarez."If they’re going to cheat you, they're going to find a way.""He did everything he knew was right," said Brea Police investigator Aga Tokugawa."Not knowing this is how Bitcoin operates, it takes a little more time to verify." Security camera images captured the man who showed up for the sale. He can be seen wearing the distinctive high-top snekaers.

LOOKING TO IDENTIFY: The victim in this case sold a watch online for Bitcoin & was able to see the funds in his account. The suspect met the victim & took the watch, but the Bitcoin disappeared from the victim’s account.
