St. Felix later became the leader of this crew.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In September 2022, St. Felix and his team carried out violent home invasions in Delray Beach and Homestead, Florida. In Delray Beach, the victims were held at gunpoint inside their house. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In Homestead, a man and his family were held at gunpoint, and the man was abducted, held hostage, and beaten before law enforcement found him 120 miles away from his home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Later in 2022, St. Felix and his crew targeted a man in Little Elm, Texas, making several attempts to rob him. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_255\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-255\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-255\" src=\"https:\/\/cjnotebook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/FBI-Agent-Image-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"Man in FBI jacket holding up yellow crime scene tape.\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cjnotebook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/FBI-Agent-Image-300x294.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cjnotebook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/FBI-Agent-Image.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: FBI File<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In December 2022, Seemungal and a Houston-based crew, including Deangelo Lee Contreras, Tristian Rene Gamez, Victor Gonzalez, Jesus Salazar, Cristian Valdez, and Jesus Gerardo Valdez, Jr., all carried out the home invasion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The Little Elm man and his family were held at gunpoint and restrained in their home for over three hours.

However, before he could execute the plan, he was arrested. At the time of his arrest, St. Felix was found with two firearms and plastic cable ties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Throughout the conspiracy, the group used an encrypted messaging app to plan their crimes. They discussed targets, how to break into homes, the tools needed, the technical aspects of cryptocurrency, and their victims&#8217; daily routines. They also shared photos of their targets and homes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In addition to the previously mentioned home invasions, the group used the encrypted app to plan more robberies in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Georgia. Seemungal and foreign co-conspirators funded rental cars, hotel rooms, and firearms for co-conspirators Haisel Daily, 22, and Ruben Matias Nicolopulos Silva, 22, to use in these crimes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Seemungal received a 20-year prison term, five years of supervised release, and a $4,038,479.39 restitution order last week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">He had pleaded guilty on Dec. 19, 2023, for his role in the scheme to steal cryptocurrency by hacking victims&#8217; accounts and for his involvement in the home invasion and robbery plot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">On February 6, Castro pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit kidnapping and kidnapping.
