Terroll Paul, 31, Mohamed Samagassi, 37, and Pierre Madzou, 30, broke into the victim's home in the early hours of May 15, assaulted him and demanded he hand over a large amount of digital currency. He was hit over the head, suffering a substantial injury that required hospital treatment. Three men who broke into a man's home in Bristol and threatened him in a failed attempt to steal cryptocurrency have been jailed. Terroll Paul, 31, Mohamed Samagassi, 37, and Pierre Madzou, 30, were sentenced yesterday (15 October).<a href="https://t.co/gQf1FuZiY6" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://t.co/gQf1FuZiY6</a> — Avon and Somerset Police (@ASPolice) <a href="https://x.com/ASPolice/status/2111134358107033995?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener" target="_blank">October 16, 2026</a> The victim's teenage sister alerted police, and all three men were arrested at the scene. They pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary in August, and were sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Thursday. Paul, of Barking in London, received six years in prison, Madzou, also of Barking, five and a half years, and Samagassi, of no fixed address, five years. The victim's sister showed "extreme bravery," said PC Gemma Childs, the investigating officer, adding that her actions led directly to "the apprehension of the offenders and preventing her brother from further harm." In a statement read in court, the victim said the break-in had changed him. "Before, I was bubbly, talkative and outgoing but now I would describe myself as tense and apprehensive," he said. The police did not say how much cryptocurrency the men demanded. The case is the latest in a run of so-called "wrench attacks" in the UK, in which criminals target crypto holders in person. In February, three teenagers were <a href="https://decrypt.co/357058/uk-teens-jailed-after-4-3m-wrench-attack-robbery-caught-on-police-video" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">jailed</a> over a $4.3 million wrench attack robbery caught on police video in London, while last month a $10,000 reward was <a href="https://decrypt.co/379186/10k-reward-offered-after-uk-couple-attacked-in-crypto-home-invasion" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">offered</a> after a West Midlands couple was attacked in a crypto home invasion.

TokenMaxxing: How to Get the Most Out of Your AI Models

Tech columnist Gergely Orosz <a href="https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-pulse-tokenmaxxing-as-a-weird-new-trend/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>estimated the tab</a> at roughly $900 million at Anthropic's list prices, though Meta likely pays far less. Bain & Company consultant Jue Wang sees a quieter version of that waste everywhere: "So many companies, so many users, default to using Opus for everything, including generating emails," she <a href="https://wtop.com/news/2026/07/a-flex-in-corporate-america-ai-tokenmaxxing-fades-as-workplaces-look-to-cut-tech-spending/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>told the Associated Press</a> this summer, referring to Anthropic's high-end models. If you do the same thing, you're hiring Albert Einstein to calculate your change at a MacDonald’s.

On a $20 subscription that meter decides how fast you hit your usage limit. On the API, the pay-per-token access developers use to plug models into their own apps, it decides the bill. Here's Anthropic's current <a href="https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>price list</a>, per million tokens: Haiku's rate applies to prompts under 100,000 tokens; longer prompts cost five times as much.
