It was late at night on March 2.
The trio didnt know it, but Siragusa wasnt exactly alone.
Her husband, Nick Lee, was using the bathroom in the other building on the property.

The two were on a call as the men shot her door open, she says.
Lee says he listened silently as one of the men pistol whipped his wife.
The intruders kept asking her the same question: Wheres thecrypto?
And so she told them she would take them to it, just like they asked.
Lee was still on the line, and figured he knew where she was taking them.
Lee says he intercepted the group there, gun in hand, and signaled at Siragusa to get down.
He fired multiple shots.
The burglars ran away.
Then, Lee hopped on Twitter.
Im being too robbed at gunpoint, he posted fromAmouranths official account, to her nearly 4 million followers.
I believe I shot one of them.
They wanted crypto is what they were yelling they pulled me out of bed.
This, they figured, was just another cry for attention.
SIRAGUSA, 31, IS CURRENTLY one of the top five most-followed women on Twitch.
Shes also one of the most notorious personalities on the site, a badge she wears with pride.
She started an OnlyFans account, and bought a Circle-Kgas stationas an investment.
In late 2024, Siragusa shared a screenshot boasting Bitcoin holdings to the tune of $20 million.
Lee, she claimed at the time, held the key to her social media accounts and finances.
The two reportedly split, and Siragusa claimed she was in control of her image and platforms.
Seeing Lee suddenly in the picture again, and prominently, confused audiences.
Was this not the same man she had decried three years ago?
AS THE QUESTIONS SWIRLED online, Siragusa and Lee began the hard work of proving their story.
Compounding the controversy was the way people found out about the robbery at all: twotweet threads.
Show us a picture, a commenter demanded in the top reply.
Siragusa didnt post a picture, but she did sharesecurity footage.
In it, she can be seen running toward the camera with a few men in tow.
Theres a dog running after them, and the group goes off frame.
Two shots ring out, and the men go running back in the same direction they came in.
The video was tiny, which made discerning details difficult.
This seems staged, reads one top reply on Twitter.
Similarly, viewers nitpicked an image Siragusa shared of her door frame, which was purportedly shot open.
During our call, Lee clarified that Siragusa wasnt tweeting in between pistol whips.
In actuality, he says, he was the one who posted for her.
He also says that he called the police before saving Siragusa.
Doing so was a gamble, though: their household is a common target for swatting.
I was telling the dispatch, like, you have to send someone right now, Lee says.
This is an armed situation, shes being held hostage.
They did, and by the time help arrived, the adrenaline was subsiding.
Lee says that he looked at Siragusa and noticed the blood right away.
Me and the first responders [were] like, Wait, are you hit?
Because it looked like it for a moment, Lee says.
The couple says theyve considered releasing hospital records for the people who believed it was all a hoax.
For Siragusa, everything thats transpired since the robbery has felt surreal.
The four suspects have not yet entered pleas but are set to be arraigned in April.
They can be heard shouting for her to hand over the crypto.
I dont know what their problem is.
Its a weird mentality that I havent quite understood.
