A 26-year-old TikTok crypto trader was kidnapped near Paris and held for ransom - but things didn’t go as planned for the abductors. The plan: Kidnappers demanded €50,000 (~$57K) in crypto. The reality: After beating him and demanding funds, the trader showed low wallet balances and was let go the next day. French authorities are investigating, and the case highlights a concerning trend: Crypto-related kidnappings are on the rise in France: - Attempted abduction of Paymium CEO's family (May) - Another case involved finger severing for ransom - 25+ suspects charged in coordinated attacks on crypto holders Key takeaways: 1. Crypto clout doesn’t always mean crypto cash - but it does make you a target. Stay low-key. Use multi-sig. Don’t flex wallets online. 2. Don't listen to TikTok advice, most of the Gurus are dead broke and only make money off TikTok. Stay safe out there. It’s not just rugpulls you have to worry about anymore.
