French authorities are grappling with a disturbing trend of violent crimes linked to cryptocurrency, particularly kidnappings for ransom. In a shocking incident, an older man was abducted in Paris, allegedly related to his son's cryptocurrency wealth, with his captors demanding a multimillion-euro ransom. This incident follows another abduction in January involving crypto investor David Balland, who endured similar mutilation threats. The police are actively investigating these crimes, utilizing technology to track down the kidnappers and rescue the victims from violent situations.
This previous weekend was particularly nuts, with an older gentleman snatched from the streets of Paris' 14th arrondissement on May 1 by men in ski masks.
According to Le Monde, the abducted father was taken to a house in a Parisian suburb, where one of the father's fingers was cut off in the course of ransom negotiations.
