Australian rugby league star Trent Merrin has been arrested on charges of allegedly stealing $91,000 worth of cryptocurrency, according to Odaily. Authorities believe Merrin manipulated the victim’s account to transfer funds through deceptive means. This arrest comes as Australian regulators ramp up efforts to tackle digital currency crimes. Merrin was granted conditional bail and is scheduled to appear in Port Kembla Local Court on December 3rd. Merrin, a former forward for teams like St. George Illawarra Dragons, Penrith Panthers, and Leeds Rhinos, retired from professional rugby in 2021 after a lengthy 15-year career. Merrin has since shifted his focus to cryptocurrency ventures, describing himself on LinkedIn as an entrepreneur and investor invested in the health and wellness sector and blockchain technology.
