Former Australian rugby league player Trent Merrin has been arrested and charged with the alleged theft of $91,000 in cryptocurrency. Authorities claim Merrin used deceptive tactics to transfer funds from victims' accounts. During a raid, police seized electronic devices, which are now subject to forensic analysis as part of the ongoing investigation. Merrin, who retired from professional rugby in 2021 after a distinguished 15-year career, has since been involved in business ventures, including investments in cryptocurrency and the health sector. The investigation continues as authorities work to uncover further details of the alleged fraud.
