William Sean Creighton Kapko
William Sean Creighton Kapko was an American businessman, known as the owner of the online betting house 5Dimes. His disappearance in 2019 led to a high-profile kidnapping case in Costa Rica, where he was held for ransom by a criminal gang demanding $5 million in cryptocurrencies. Tragically, after his family managed to pay a portion of the ransom, he was murdered, and his body was later discovered in an unmarked grave. This case highlighted the growing concerns around the use of cryptocurrencies in organized crime within Costa Rica.
