Toh hua yun ke pichle saal, July mein, Tim Heath jo crypto ki duniya mein kaafi jaana-maana naam hai, usay uske apartment building ki stairwell mein do bandon ne gher liya. Yeh log painters ban kar aaye thay. Cointelegraph ke mutabiq, jab ek attacker, Azerbaijani national Allahverdi Allahverdiyev (jo boxing aur wrestling ka background rakhta hai), ne Heath ka munh band karne ki koshish ki, toh Heath ne uski ungli kaat di aur apne flat mein wapas chala gaya. Attackers toh bhaijaan, ghabra ke bhaag gaye, aur apne peechhe ek van aur woh kati hui ungli chor gaye, jo baad mein attack site se 100 meters door mili. Kya zabardast escape thi!
Kidnapping ka Pura Plan aur Uske Peeche Ka Gang
Tim Heath, jo Victoria, Australia se hain, Yolo Group aur uski venture capital arm, Yolo Investments ke founder hain. Unka net worth takreeban 2.46 billion Australian dollars ($1.61 billion) hai. Yeh kidnapping ka plan koi aik din ka nahi tha, balkay mahino se chal raha tha. Ek group mein saat log shamil thay, aur unhone Heath ko uski gaadi par GPS device laga kar track kiya. Estonia mein woh farzi Georgian passports par aaye aur painters ki uniform khareedi takay koi shaq na kare. Unka maqsad Heath ko kidnap karna tha, usay aik rented sauna house le jana tha, aur us par dabaav daal kar uske crypto assets transfer karwana tha. Sunne mein aaya hai ke is operation mein ek hacker bhi shamil tha. Allahverdiyev ke ilawa, Georgian citizen Ilgar Mamedov ko bhi arrest kiya gaya hai, jabkay do aur log, jin mein alleged mastermind Najaf Najafli bhi shamil hai, police ko matloob hain. Teen aur suspects abhi tak unidentified hain.
Adalat Mein Kya Hua Aur Ab Kya Haal Hai?
Adalat mein, Allahverdiyev ne claim kiya ke usay kidnapping ke liye 100,000 euros ($118,000) ka wada kiya gaya tha, lekin usne kaha ke usne sirf shamil hone ka natak kiya aur baad mein group ko plan chorne ka mashwara diya. Prosecutors kehtay hain ke Mamedov getaway driver tha, lekin woh kisi bhi involvement se inkar karta hai, kehta hai ke woh Estonia mein ittefaq se tha. Lekin, Heath par khatra abhi bhi talta nahi hai, kyunke prosecutors ne bataya ke failed kidnapping ke hafton baad, Heath ko ek Telegram message mila jisme uske apartment ki photos thin aur 30 Bitcoin (us waqt takreeban $3.3 million ke barabar) ki demand thi. Agarche Heath ne is message ko ignore kiya aur mazeed koi contact nahi hua, prosecutors kehtay hain ke threat abhi bhi mojood hai.
Is sab ke baad, Heath ne apni private security par $3.1 million se zyada kharch kiye hain aur relocate ho gaye hain. Ab unki legal team in expenses ki reimbursement accused kidnappers se chahti hai. #BTC ki duniya mein yeh sab bhi hota hai, bhai! Apne security ka khayal rakhna bahut zaroori hai, khaas kar jab itne paisay involved hon.
