Hero in Paris: Fire extinguisher stops crypto kidnapping at the last second!
A dramatic incident occurred on the busy streets of Paris, putting security concerns in the crypto industry back in the spotlight. A brave shopkeeper named Nabil successfully thwarted the kidnapping of the daughter of a prominent crypto entrepreneur when he intervened with a fire extinguisher. While the attackers, a trio of masked gunmen, attempted to kidnap the woman, Nabil threw the fire extinguisher at their getaway vehicle, causing them to flee and the woman to remain safe. This incident is the third attack on the crypto community in France in just a few months, highlighting the alarming security issues within the industry. IT Boltwise reports that Nabil was celebrated by passers-by for his courageous actions.
During the attack, Nabil also wrestled with the woman's husband, who tried to protect his wife despite the beating. This shows the strong commitment of civilians to prevent such crimes and support the victim. The incident highlights the urgent need to rethink and improve security protocols in the crypto industry.
Experts also point out the importance of strong cooperation between the crypto industry and security authorities to prevent future incidents.
Background to the kidnapping
This incident is not the only one to shake the crypto industry in France. Another shocking case occurred not long ago when a crypto entrepreneur was kidnapped in France to extort a ransom of five to seven million euros. His family had previously been threatened and the perpetrators went so far as to cut off one of the victim's fingers. This brutal kidnapping, which took place in front of witnesses on Friday morning, was responded to quickly by the authorities. ZDF reports that the police freed the victim and arrested five suspects aged 20 to 27.
The horrifying details of these cases cast a shadow over the emerging crypto industry in France and raise questions about the safety of players in the sector. The judiciary has begun investigations into kidnapping, false imprisonment and torture. The crypto industry is therefore faced with the challenge of seriously reconsidering not only technological but also security aspects in order to protect its employees and their families.
