🚨 BREAKING: The dark side of crypto is escalating.
Two French crypto millionaires reportedly endured a 52-hour kidnapping nightmare, where they were allegedly beaten, burned, and forced to hand over $30,000 in crypto while captors demanded $150,000.
The ordeal ended only after a high-speed police chase, with six people convicted in connection with the attack.
This isn't an isolated case.
CertiK has now recorded 50+ wrench attacks targeting crypto holders in the first half of 2026, with France emerging as a major hotspot for violent crypto-related kidnappings and extortion.
As digital wealth grows, so does the real-world risk.
The biggest threat to your crypto may no longer be hackers. It may be someone who knows you own it.
