A kidnapping attempt targeting the family of a prominent French cryptocurrency entrepreneur has shocked authorities and raised alarm bells in the digital asset industry. The incident occurred in Paris’s 11th district, with four masked assailants attempting to forcibly abduct a woman and her child. Surveillance footage shows three individuals emerging from a van, intending to forcibly abduct the woman, who courageously resisted, seizing one of the assailant’s handguns before ultimately thwarting the abduction attempt. The couple was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment following the assault. Authorities are focusing their investigation on potential motive links to the family’s involvement in the cryptocurrency sector, while authorities have recovered the suspects’ vehicle near the scene.
