😱😱 WHAT IS HAPPENING, DOES NO ONE WANT TO WORK FOR THEIR OWN ANYMORE?
I was shocked by this news I read! It turns out that a Russian couple involved in the cryptocurrency business was kidnapped in an apartment in Buenos Aires. It all happened after a business meeting with two other Russians. Can you imagine?
These poor people were stripped of about 43,000 dollars in cryptocurrencies. What madness! 😱 And as if that weren't enough, the attackers recorded a video and even asked their family in Russia for an additional 100,000 dollars (they haven't commented on whether the family transferred the money or not). What audacity!
Fortunately, one of the victims was able to call for help from a balcony after the kidnappers fled the scene, and the police arrived to rescue them. I can only imagine the fright they experienced. The investigation is in the hands of the Federal Police, and there is even a red alert from Interpol, because the guys who did this have escaped the country! One went to the United Arab Emirates and the other to Turkey.
This case made me think a lot about how dangerous the world of cryptocurrencies is becoming, with so many robberies and other similar kidnappings in New York, France, and Venezuela. So, if you're involved in this, you need to step up your security! It's crucial not to talk about how much you have, maintain a low profile on social media, use offline devices to store your keys, and be very, very cautious with business meetings, especially if they are in private places.
