It was a chilling pattern—crypto millionaires vanishing, their wallets emptied, their families left in terror. For years, the attacks seemed random, isolated incidents of violence in the digital gold rush. But in June 2025, investigators uncovered the truth: one man was behind it all.


1️⃣ The Rise of the Crypto Phantom


His name was Badiss Mohamed Amide Bajjou, a 24-year-old French-Moroccan with a taste for luxury and a mind for crime. He wasn’t just another hacker—he was a hunter, a man who tracked, kidnapped, and tortured crypto executives to steal their fortunes.


✔️ A Master of Disguise Bajjou used fake identities, encrypted messaging apps, and burner phones to stay ahead of the law.

✔️ A Network of Fear He built a team of criminals, operating across France, Morocco, and the U.S., targeting high-profile investors.

✔️ A Ruthless Strategy His victims were kidnapped, beaten, and forced to sign crypto transfers—or lose a finger.


2️⃣ The Kidnappings That Shocked the Crypto World


✔️ May 13, 2025—Pierre Noizat’s daughter and grandson were nearly abducted in Paris.

✔️ April 2025—David Balland, co-founder of Ledger, was kidnapped and tortured, losing a finger in the process.

✔️ Multiple Executives Targeted—Crypto leaders across Europe were attacked, threatened, and robbed.


For months, the crimes escalated, leaving the crypto community paralyzed with fear.


3️⃣ The Arrest That Ended the Nightmare


✔️ June 5, 2025—Bajjou was captured in Tangier, Morocco, after a global manhunt.

✔️ Interpol’s Most Wanted—He had been on the Interpol list since 2023, evading capture for years.

✔️ A Crime Syndicate Exposed—Authorities uncovered encrypted chats, revealing a network of criminals operating across borders.


4️⃣ The Fallout: Crypto Security in Crisis


✔️ Executives Hiring Bodyguards—Crypto millionaires are now investing in personal security.

✔️ Governments Cracking Down—France and Morocco are tightening crypto regulations to prevent future attacks.

✔️ A New Era of Crypto Crime—Physical violence is replacing cyber hacks, proving that wealth without protection is a target.
