Crypto CEO's Daughter and Toddler Escape Violent Kidnapping Attempt in Paris

  • On Tuesday morning in Paris's 11th district, armed men attempted to kidnap the daughter and toddler grandson of the CEO of French crypto platform Paymium.
  • This incident adds to a recent pattern of attacks aimed at individuals involved in the French cryptocurrency community or their family members, such as the January kidnapping of Ledger co-founder David Balland and his partner.
  • The woman and her husband resisted the three masked assailants who used tear gas and a replica air gun, while passersby intervened and the attackers fled in a van abandoned nearby.
  • All three family members sustained minor injuries and were treated in hospital, while police have detained at least nine suspects and assigned the Brigade de Répression du Banditisme to the investigation.
  • France’s interior minister announced a planned meeting with crypto business leaders to enhance their security and address kidnapping risks following these recurring high-profile attacks.
