Paris prosecutors just dropped the hammer on two dozen suspects tied to a kidnapping ring demanding ransom in cryptocurrency—because nothing says ’modern crime’ like mixing old-school violence with digital asset demands.
The scheme allegedly involved abducting high-net-worth individuals and forcing them to transfer crypto holdings—proving once again that where there’s speculative frenzy, there’s always someone willing to take shortcuts (or hostages).
Law enforcement’s swift action shows regulators are finally waking up to crypto’s dark side—right as traditional finance starts pretending they ’believed all along.’
