💥Mastermind Behind Crypto Millionaire Kidnappings Arrested in Morocco❗❗

A 24-year-old man, Badiss Mohamed Amide Bajjou, has been arrested in Morocco for allegedly orchestrating a disturbing series of kidnappings and extortion schemes targeting cryptocurrency millionaires in France. Bajjou was already listed on Interpol’s red notice and was taken into custody after authorities discovered weapons, phones, and cash linked to the crimes.

Among the most shocking incidents was the brutal assault on Ledger co-founder David Balland, during which kidnappers severed one of his fingers while demanding a €10 million ransom in cryptocurrency.

Investigators also connect Bajjou to a failed kidnapping attempt in May that targeted the family of Paymium CEO Pierre Noizat. Armed assailants tried to abduct Noizat’s daughter, her husband, and their child in broad daylight. The attack was thwarted by the intervention of bystanders.

To date, 25 individuals, including several minors, have been indicted in connection with the criminal network. The victims were primarily high-profile figures in the crypto space—selected due to their digital wealth and the untraceable nature of cryptocurrency transactions.

Authorities in France have warned of a growing threat of crypto-related crimes and have pledged to intensify their efforts against gangs targeting crypto-wealthy individuals. Despite Bajjou’s arrest, another key ringleader remains at large, believed to be in his 40s.

Law enforcement agencies across Europe and the U.S. are now strengthening security protocols as crypto-fueled abductions continue to rise globally. As digital fortunes expand, so does the real-world danger surrounding them.
