Australian crypto billionaire Tim Heath, founder of the Estonian-based Yolo Group, narrowly escaped a kidnapping attempt in Tallinn, Estonia last July.
Two men dressed as painters attacked him in the stairwell of his apartment building. But Heath fought back — and even bit off part of one attacker’s finger to break free.
An Estonian court revealed that seven men were involved in planning the kidnapping. They had reportedly followed Heath for weeks, even using a GPS tracker, with the goal of stealing his crypto assets.
This shocking incident is part of a growing trend in 2025, where wealthy crypto investors are being targeted. Many are now increasing their personal security to stay safe.
