In a twist that could only be penned by a master of the absurd, the French police have rounded up over a dozen suspects—yes, including minors—who have taken a rather unorthodox approach to the world of cryptocurrency. Kidnapping? Oh, that’s just the new black in Paris! 🕵️♂️
On the fateful morning of May 27, the Brigade de Répression du Banditisme (BRB)—a name that sounds like it belongs in a spy novel—swooped in with all the grace of a ballet dancer in combat boots. They executed a series of coordinated operations across Île-de-France and Loire-Atlantique, with a little help from their friends in the police force. Because why not? It’s not like they had anything better to do! 🚓
Authorities, with their magnifying glasses and detective hats, suspect that two high-profile kidnapping attempts are linked. One involved the father of a crypto entrepreneur, and the other, the daughter of a CEO from a crypto exchange. It’s like a twisted family reunion, but with more masks and less cake. 🎭
The first case, which unfolded on May 1, featured the father of a wealthy poker streamer and cryptocurrency investor being whisked away by four masked men in a stolen van—because nothing says “professional” like a vehicle disguised with a fake UPS logo. Talk about delivery gone wrong! 📦
These charming kidnappers demanded a ransom of €5 to €7 million in cryptocurrency. To add a sprinkle of horror to their already theatrical performance, they decided to mutilate the father by severing a finger and filming the act. Because, you know, nothing says “I mean business” like a little finger severing! He was eventually rescued during a police raid in Palaiseau, which must have been quite the show! 🎬
In the second act, on May 13, three masked men attempted to abduct a 34-year-old woman in broad daylight in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. The woman, later revealed to be the daughter of Pierre Noizat, CEO and co-founder of crypto exchange Paymium, managed to escape with the help of bystanders. Her partner, however, was not so lucky and faced a bit of a rough patch during the struggle. Talk about a dramatic brunch! 🍽️
The assailants, ever the professionals, fled the scene in a van adorned with Chronopost markings. Because nothing screams “I’m a criminal” like a branded getaway vehicle! 🚐
So far, six individuals have been charged and are now enjoying the cozy confines of custody in connection with the first case. These young recruits were apparently handpicked for their roles in this bizarre production. As for the second case? Well, let’s just say the arrests came a bit late to the party. 🎉
In a bid to protect the glitterati of the crypto world, the French Interior Ministry has ramped up security measures for prominent executives and their families. After all, France has become the epicenter of a growing wave of crypto-targeted violence, with at least six such incidents recorded this year alone. It’s like a new trend, but with a lot more drama and a lot less fashion! 💃
And let’s not forget the January kidnapping of Ledger co-founder David Balland, who was tortured during a ransom attempt involving €10 million in crypto. Because why not add a little torture to the mix? It’s all the rage these days! 😱
