On the evening of December 13th at 8:00 PM, an attempted robbery at a cryptocurrency exchange shop occurred inside a shopping mall at 608 Nathan Road, Mong Kok, Hong Kong. Three men entangled with the 46-year-old shop owner, causing injuries to his fingers. He was subsequently taken to the hospital for treatment and is now conscious. Bloodstains were left at the scene.

The police have intervened and confirmed that no property was stolen from the shop owner. Law enforcement is currently investigating the three suspects through surveillance footage, and the case is still under further investigation.

This incident serves as a reminder to industry practitioners that the personal and property safety risks faced by cryptocurrency-related businesses require high attention. Whether it is security arrangements, employee emergency training, or collaboration mechanisms with law enforcement agencies, the industry should reflect and improve accordingly.

Why are crypto shops in Hong Kong so fierce? Going straight to violence and robbery... Honestly, they really need to install surveillance and hire bodyguards, safety is a concern these days.

Violent incidents are happening again in Hong Kong. Crypto shops really need bodyguards now. Attempted robbery and even injuries? These people must have mental issues. My brother's fingers are injured. The risks in this industry are indeed high. Can surveillance catch these people? Such criminals must be severely punished. Security must be upgraded, or no one will dare to open a shop. Having money without a life to spend it on is useless. That's the real problem. I used to think crypto shops only made money, but it turns out they also have to guard against being attacked.

The security situation here in Hong Kong really needs to be taken seriously. Relying solely on surveillance for crypto shops is simply not enough. --- It's a relief that the robbery attempt failed, but it shows that someone is still watching our line of work... We need to think about how to prevent it. --- The shop owner hurt their finger, which is quite upsetting. Hope they recover quickly. The police also need to step up their efforts. --- Once again, a shop was targeted for replacement, and it seems that this business needs bodyguards to be safe. --- Not losing money in a robbery is lucky, but we must understand this warning signal, everyone.

Is Hong Kong still playing this game? Crypto shops being targeted is also a common occurrence. --- Damn, with a finger injury like that, these people are really ruthless. --- Not only did I not get the money, but I also left a bunch of evidence. This move is really disappointing. --- Security really needs to be taken seriously now, or who can handle it if this keeps happening every day? --- The surveillance cameras are recording everything, so there's no escape. --- By the way, it seems like there are more targeted attacks on the crypto scene these days? --- Fortunately, there was no property loss. Just worried about encountering tougher trouble next time. --- This incident reminds us that we need to maintain good relations with local authorities and ensure law enforcement is reliable.

Hong Kong crypto shops are starting to suffer as well... Luckily, there was an attempted robbery and no money was lost, but we really need to stay alert. --- Again with this kind of incident, the crypto industry is really too easy to target. --- It feels like doing currency exchange business now is like playing with fire; security measures need to keep up, or trouble will come sooner or later. --- Finger injury... this guy is quite unlucky, just for some coins? --- Is the Hong Kong dollar circle about to change or what? Why have there been so many incidents lately? --- Can the surveillance footage reveal anything? These three people are really something—an attempted robbery that was barely thwarted, and it was so much effort. --- The fate of physical crypto stores is indeed a bit uncertain.

Hong Kong is also starting to fall into chaos, daring to rob crypto shops? Luckily, the shop owners are fine, but security definitely needs to be strengthened.

Hong Kong is doing this again? Crypto shops have really become ATMs, and it's already tough for three people to get their hands on it.

Mong Kok incident is happening again; crypto shops really need to strengthen security Speaking of these frequent incidents, it truly reflects the industry's pain points The shop owner injured his finger; luckily, there were no more serious consequences Is it really so hard to do crypto business in Hong Kong? Inadequate security is simply unacceptable; crypto shops should be treated like jewelry stores The surveillance footage is clear; now we just wait for the police to take action This should have been taken seriously long ago; there have been too many lessons learned
