š¤ $5 wrench attacks are scaling ā and no oneās ready
š Manhattan, SoHo, $30K/month townhouse turned into a #crypto dungeon. A 28-year-old Italian man held for weeks by investor John Woeltz. Beaten, electroshocked, pistol-whipped, dangled from balconies ā all to force access to his Bitcoin wallet. When he refused? They sawed his leg and made him smoke crack. This isnāt crime of passion. Itās calculated extraction.
š And itās not an isolated case. In just the past few months weāve seen a surge of real-world crypto kidnappings:
In Paris, a founderās father was held for ransom.
In London, a tourist was drugged and robbed of $123K.
In France, a #Ledger co-founder was kidnapped and rescued by police.
These arenāt one-offs ā theyāre part of a growing pattern.
š Private security firms like Infinite Risks International report a surge in crypto-related protection contracts. High-net-worth holders are hiring bodyguards. French authorities are briefing founders and fast-tracking police support. Because the next victim could be anyone with a wallet worth opening.
š¬š¬ This isnāt about cold storage anymore. This is physical. This is personal. This is targeted.
Your multisig wonāt save you when youāre duct-taped to a chair.
Your real OPSEC starts with invisibility. Because no one kidnaps the broke.
And if youāre flashing wealth on-chain or off ā you might already be on someoneās list.
