Former Australian Rugby League star Trent Merrin has been arrested on suspicion of stealing $91,000 (approximately A$140,000) worth of cryptocurrency. Police charge him with fraudulently transferring funds from victims' accounts. The arrest comes as Australian regulators tighten enforcement against digital currency crimes. Merrin has been granted conditional bail and is scheduled to appear in Port Kembla Magistrates Court on December 3. The former St. George's Illawarra Dragons, Penris Panthers, and Leeds Rhinos retired from the Australian Rugby League in 2021 after a 15-year career, representing New South Wales and the Australian national team. Since retiring, Merrin has been actively involved in business in the cryptocurrency and wellness sectors. His LinkedIn profile describes him as "an entrepreneur and investor with a passion for cryptocurrency, blockchain, and the wellness industry." (Decrypt)
