I just read the news about the kidnapping in France the other day, where the mother and child were held hostage and the kidnappers demanded 400,000 euros in cryptocurrency. The good thing is that the French GIGN responded very quickly, rescuing them within 24 hours, and all 7 suspects were arrested.
Actually, this case shows that kidnapping criminals are becoming more sophisticated, not only using cash but also demanding payment in crypto. They probably think it will be harder to trace. But in the end, they still got caught, so it seems that law enforcement agencies have also learned how to deal with this type of crime.
Has anyone heard of a kidnapping case related to cryptocurrencies before? This really is a dangerous trend.
