😳$100 million in $BTC at the price of pain or 100 million reasons to stay silent
In July 2025, a crypto investor from New York was kidnapped, bound, tortured, cut with a chainsaw, and threatened with being set on fire — all for access to a bitcoin wallet worth $100,000,000.
You read that right — $100 million in BTC.
This is not a movie. This is already a new era of crypto. An era where not a cold wallet, but your body is the last line of defense.
The investor couldn't take it anymore and revealed the seed phrase.
Court, million-dollar bail, arrest, resonance. But the most important thing — a signal to all of us:
✅ Now they can break you — not just hack, but break your body, psyche, family
✅ If you are a public holder, then you are a target
✅ Money has become invisible — but greed is very visible
🧠 Psychological reality:
Illusion of protection = "I have a Ledger, I am safe"
Social blindness = "this happens far away"
Self-soothing = "I don't hold millions" (but are those who know you sure?)
🎯 Conclusion:
🔐 Security is not about technology.
It's about behavior, silence, and limited trust.
Not every attack is technical. Sometimes the weakest point is you.
