The Cryptocurrency Kidnapping Case in France! Millionaire Father Taken Hostage, Ransom Demand Shocking
A shocking kidnapping case has occurred in the cryptocurrency community in Paris, where a father was taken hostage by kidnappers due to his son's cryptocurrency wealth. The incident took place on May 2, with kidnappers demanding a ransom of 5 to 7 million euros, targeting the son’s crypto assets.
Police eventually rescued the victim through tracking and arrested five suspects. The kidnappers sought to extort wealth from wealthy young individuals, and one suspect was arrested while still driving with kidnapping tools. After the incident, police revealed that the kidnappers even threatened to cut off the victim's father's fingers to apply pressure.
This case is not an isolated incident; in January last year, another founder of a cryptocurrency company was also kidnapped in Paris. With the continuous growth of cryptocurrency wealth, affluent cryptocurrency professionals and their families have become primary targets for kidnappers. The case is still under further investigation.
