🚨 Crypto Millionaire Kidnap Mastermind Caught in Morocco!

In a major breakthrough, Moroccan authorities have arrested Badiss Mohamed Amide Bajjou, a 24-year-old suspect believed to be the brain behind a chilling wave of kidnappings and extortion targeting crypto millionaires in France. Bajjou, already on Interpol’s red list, was captured with weapons, cash, and multiple phones linked to the operations.

One of the most horrifying cases tied to this network was the violent abduction of Ledger co-founder David Balland—where kidnappers reportedly cut off one of his fingers while demanding a €10 million ransom in cryptocurrency.

Authorities also linked Bajjou to a botched kidnapping attempt in May, involving the family of Paymium CEO Pierre Noizat. In a broad daylight attack, armed men tried to seize Noizat’s daughter, her husband, and their young child. Thanks to bystanders’ intervention, the family narrowly escaped harm.

So far, 25 suspects, including minors, have been formally indicted in connection with the criminal ring. The victims were specifically targeted for their high visibility in the crypto industry—where large, untraceable digital wealth has become a magnet for organized crime.

French law enforcement has sounded the alarm, warning of a rising trend in crypto-related crimes, and is ramping up security measures to protect high-net-worth individuals in the space. Despite Bajjou's arrest, another ringleader—believed to be in his 40s—remains at large.

As digital fortunes grow, so does the real-world danger surrounding them. Authorities across Europe and the U.S. are now tightening crypto security protocols to tackle this emerging threat head-on.

🔐 Stay safe. Stay alert.
