I always thought they found him through tracking the crypto, not tracking them through tiktok. That dude paid for his lies.

Is it actually real? It reads like a satire headline. Tried to translate the French article but there's not much substance to it

I speak french and the french article says exactly what the english article says, except the english article has a lot more information.
It even includes the previous cases of kidnappers targeting people they thought might have large crypto holdings.

I saw the news go down that he was abducted from real sources, but I haven't done the news parade this morning yet. Not sure.

I’m so glad I never had any desire to have anything to do with this bs.

So long as crypto exchanges exist, kidnappers can do this to anyone and get away with it.
