Kaitlyn Siragusa, a streamer, made a shocking post early last Monday (3), informing her followers that her home was being invaded.

“I’m being robbed at gunpoint. This is not a prank, help,” the Twitch streamer posted, one minute before informing her fans that she had just shot someone.

The incident occurred around 10:30 PM when Amouranth was dragged out of bed by masked men at her Texas residence and was ordered to transfer $20 million in Bitcoin to her intruders.

The three invaders gained access to her cryptocurrency account, and with a gun pointed at her head, she made a post on her X profile (formerly Twitter) to ask for help instead of calling the police, to avoid raising suspicion.

After reporting the incident on social media, she received criticism for choosing to post about the robbery instead of calling the police, with some people claiming the situation was too absurd to believe.

“Being robbed at gunpoint, and they’re kind enough to let you post and pull out a weapon,” one user mocked. Meanwhile, some fans defended the streamer.

“I think it makes sense to post on X instead of [calling the police], you know a lot of people will see it, you won’t have to explain out loud, and you won’t get a call back immediately,” one user argued, to which Amouranth replied: “Exactly.”

Amouranth later elaborated on the matter. She explained that she used to make many prank calls to emergency services, which led the police to become suspicious of calls coming from her address.

“Even though you can call 911 and get help within minutes, in my case, it usually takes half an hour for them to respond: ‘Can we confirm this isn’t another prank?'” the streamer explained.

“I know this from experience. Unfortunately, it took 33 minutes for a confirmed stalker to actively try to break into my home. Posting ensures that my many employees and fans see it and validate its legitimacy. I literally have people whose job is to monitor social media.”
