“I’m being robbed at gunpont,” Twitch streamer Amouranth hastily shared with her followers. “This is not a prank help,” she added, before a minute later informing her fans she had just shot someone.
At around 10.30pm on Sunday (March 2), Kaitlyn Siragusa, who goes by Amouranth online, was dragged out of bed by masked men at her Texas residence and ordered to transfer her $20 million worth of Bitcoin to her intruders.

The three home intruders were handed access to her crypto account, and with a gun to her head, she boldly tweeted for help rather than dial 911, as to not arise suspicion.
Having detailed the intrusion and the aftermath of it on her Twitter account, she received backlash for opting to tweet about the ordeal rather than call the police for help, with some people claiming the ordeal is too far-fetched to believe.
“Being robbed at gunpoint and they’re nice enough to let you tweet and pull out a gun,” one disbelieving user sarcastically posted.
While another fan backed her up, writing: “AFAIK [As far as I know] she just posted on X, so other would have seen it too, esp as she’s apparently famous.
“I guess it makes sense to post on X as opposed to all 911, you know plenty of people will see it, you won’t have to explain yourself audibly and you won’t get an immediate call back.”
To which the 31-year-old replied: “This.”

She went on to explain her reasoning for sharing the home invasion on social media instead of with the cops.
“Hello, person in the story here,” Siragusa wrote.
“I get swatted ALOT. If you don’t know the term look it up.”
‘Swatting’ is when you make prank calls to the emergency services.
She continued: “While you might call 911 and have responders enroute within moments, mine tend to be half-hour ‘can we confirm it’s not another prank’ dispatch holds.
“I know this from experience sadly — it took 33 mins when a confirmed stalker actively tried to gain entry into my home.
“Tweeting ensures my many employees and fans see it and signal boost the legitimacy. I literally have people who’s job it is to keep tabs on socials.

“Also, my security system already pings law enforcement when loud noises / broken glass is audibly heard.”
The first tweet came at 10.55pm Central Standard Time, it read: “I’m being too robbed at gunpont.”
Before being followed up seconds later with: “This is not a prank help.”
One minute later, she posted: “I believe I shot one of them they wanted crypto is what they were yelling they pulled me out of bed.”
Siragusa then explained how she was ‘covered in blood but only some of it is mine’.
However, despite claiming initially that she had shot the intruders, NBC 2 reported how the Texan claimed that she led the robbers into a room in her home where her husband was allegedly waiting armed with a handgun, having supposedly seen her tweet.

Shannen Doherty made a heartbreaking final post online before passing away from cancer at age 53.
The star of Charmed had previously shared updates around her treatment plan for cancer, describing how she would be starting another round of chemotherapy.
Doherty was first diagnosed with cancer in 2015, and she confirmed that she had ‘invasive breast cancer metastatic to at least one lymph node’.
After undergoing multiple surgeries and treatment, the 90210 star went into remission following her initial diagnosis before the cancer came back.
In 2020, she made the heartbreaking announcement that she had been diagnosed with stage four breast cancer.
This is a very advanced stage where the cancer has spread from its original location to many places around the body.
In 2023, the Charmed actor revealed that the cancer had spread to her brain and her bones, leading her to undergo surgery which removed ‘almost all’ of the tumor from her brain.
In her last social media post, Doherty shared a clip from the Let’s Be Clear podcast to her Instagram page.

She opened up about her journey, as well as her feelings of uncertainty about the future.
In the clip, she said: “So, you know, for the first time in I have no idea how long, I’m going to be on chemo for I have no idea if it’s going to be, you know, three months or if its going to be six months or if we are going, you know, if after three months if it’s not working if we’re going to change again.”
Doherty added: “Like, I don’t really, that’s not something that I can predict. It’s not something my doctors can predict and it’s scary.
“It’s like a big wake up call at the same time I got to say that there is some positivity there and the positivity is that because my molecular structure of my cancer cells changed recently.
“It means that there’s a lot more protocols for me to try. So, you know, for the first time in a couple months probablyI feel hopeful because there are so many more protocols now.
“Whereas before I was hopeful but I was still getting prepared.”
Yesterday (July 14), Doherty’s death was confirmed in a statement by her publicist, which read: “It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty.
“On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.
“The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie. The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace.”
Woman calls 911 after making shocking discovery about her husband on social media
A Texas woman has opened up about why she called the police after stumbling across shocking information about her husband on Facebook
A Houston woman has spoken out about calling the police on her husband after making a shocking discovery online.
Tammie and Marcus Andra Shorten from Houston, Texas, married in 2012 before separating in 2019, however, the pair didn’t get divorced.
And in December, while scrolling Facebook, Tammie came to learn she may not know the man she married as well as she first thought.
Tammie told ABC13 Houston she was Marcus’ third wife and the pair never divorced because Marcus reportedly didn’t want to be considered a ‘failure’.
“He says, ‘I didn’t want a divorce. I’m getting me some help. I don’t want to get a divorce. I don’t want my family to think I’m a failure’,” she claimed.
The pair stayed in touch and reportedly kept discussing the option of divorce, but Tammie claims Marcus maintained he didn’t want one.
However, in December, she stumbled across a wedding registry for Marcus online, alongside photographs of his alleged wedding on Facebook.

Images of Marcus at what appeared to be his own wedding with a wife who was not Tammie were shared to Facebook by a member of his family.
Tammie says she contacted Marcus and said: “Before you let the world know what you’re doing, make sure your business is right.”
The registry confirmed Marcus got married on 27 January earlier this year – the marriage license viewed by ABC13 Houston.
Upon making the discovery, Tammie contacted police and reported her husband for bigamy.
She said: “I knew it was wrong. You’ve not only destroyed my life, but now you have destroyed somebody else’s life and all the parties that’s involved in it.
“You can’t go around lying and misleading individuals at your self satisfaction.”

According to court records, Marcus has been married at least four times.
The outlet found divorce decrees for two of the marriages, but Houston Police believes Marcus is currently married to two women.
Tammie added it’s ‘not like [Marcus didn’t] know what a divorce is because [he’d] been married several times before’.
Marcus now faces the rare charge of bigamy. If convicted, Texas laws state he could face between two and 10 years in prison and a fine of $10,000 according to Legal Match.
