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

Armed assailants attempted to abduct the daughter and grandson of a major cryptocurrency exchange CEO in Paris—proving once again that in crypto, even your family isn’t safe from volatility.

The failed kidnapping follows a pattern of high-profile crypto figures becoming targets, whether by hackers or old-fashioned criminals. Maybe next time, the attackers will demand ransom in BTC—at least that’d be tax-deductible.

Security experts warn that as crypto wealth becomes more visible, so do the risks. But hey, at least it’s not another ’rug pull’ story—just good old-fashioned crime.
