Crypto Exchange CEO’s Daughter, Grandson Targeted in Paris Kidnap Attempt

Armed assailants ambushed the daughter and grandson of a major cryptocurrency exchange CEO in Paris yesterday—proving that in 2025, even kidnapping has a bull market.

Details remain scarce, but sources confirm the attack was thwarted before ransom demands could be made. One thing’s clear: when your net worth is measured in BTC, you’d better hire security that trades at ATHs.

Meanwhile, traditional bankers wept softly into their spreadsheets—nobody kidnaps the families of SWIFT operators anymore.
