💰 The Bigger Picture – Crypto & Violence
Sadly, this isn’t the first time France has seen such crimes:
• January: Ledger co-founder tortured, fingers burned.
• May: Father of a crypto entrepreneur kidnapped, finger severed.
• Later in May: Criminals attempted to abduct Paymium CEO’s daughter.
Despite 20+ arrests, this crime wave is far from over.

⚖️ Crypto = A Double-Edged Sword
Unlike money in banks, crypto is anonymous, untraceable, and irreversible once stolen — a magnet for criminals. Alexander’s case is yet another reminder: if you’re in crypto, security isn’t luxury — it’s survival.
🙏 Stay cautious, stay safe.
