If criminals were scared of the laws they would have abstained from their evil deeds. No matter what punishment the authorities place on ground for such acts, I don't think it would stop someone who already has purely evil intentions. The rate of kidnapping crypto holder is now getting out of hand. It's no longer a new thing and everyweek we get news about such.

 This then push the motion, are crypto holders still not aware of what is going on? Or they just don't care and since they have the money to pay off these guys they choose to pay deaf ears. As a crypto holder, your privacy should be taken seriously. If these kidnapping is not taken seriously by the government, it might later on result to something much worse like killing. I hope the government works fast on something to help stop and it's also on the hands of the holders to remain quit of their holdings.

_act_  has been updating this platform with information as it relates to activities in crypto safety when it comes to security and happenings to crypto enthusiasts all around the world, but of late, France has been in the headlines for their crime scheme on crypto enthusiasts and it is quite worrisome that the attacks keep increasing daily without a proper solution to this menace in France. This is now an eye-opener of what is to come if the crypto community does not take their safety seriously.

So far, the reports have been on attacks as it relates to influencers, CEOs of exchange, etc, which shows that the act is coordinated and preplanned and they are in the know of their whereabouts to easily attack them and steal from them so the question everybody would ask is that who is leaking their information to all these criminals to launch an attack on them.

On the other hand, I am curious to ask this to the general house, do you think it is safe to use the local exchange where you are well known in that locality? because I feel this is another threat on its own.

If it's about being scared of the law they are scared and that's why they nocturnally carry out these criminal acts making sure the authorities don't caught up with them in the very act. I don't know if I should say it's a common occurrence in every society today where the less privileged targets the highly privileged as a means to use to climb to the echelon. It just can entirely be ended but the authority can only try to limit it prevalence.

Let me guess. The kidnappers are gangs from Africa.

France is one of the countries in the EU that took the most migrants back when the left thought it was a good idea. So ethical, so full of sympathy towards the people who leave their countries to seek welfare checks in the North. Now France is suffering from homelessness and high crime rates and doesn't know what to do with all those people from Senegal Cameroon and so on that fill up their prisons.

Sometimes, users that create this kind of thread are carried away with the Chuck of the incident, and once they create such thread they go offline for so long not responding, I guess a few of us have reported the thread, but moderators haven't visited yet to lock the thread and the ops have not been active on this thread either.

I would not name a specific country, but I am also sure that all the crimes are committed by migrants whose lives did not turn out to be as fabulous as they hoped for when they moved to Europe. And yes, their level of knowledge, as well as laziness (since they wanted to receive benefits all their lives without working), does not tell them anything about morality and rules of conduct in a foreign country; moreover, their demands sometimes cross all boundaries of impudence. France should do with migrants like Trump: send them all to their historical homeland.

how could they take a more seruously it should be many happening but we are not aware of it man

One of the biggest problems with the adoption of Bitcoin and crypto has got to be the lag in regulation, law and enforcement right now. Scams are everywhere, situations like this are only becoming more and more rampant, while governments and LE are lagging on investigations to track criminals down. On the other side, people are being completely oblivious to the dangers of flaunting their wealth, status and positions, leading to situations like this. While this is an extreme case, a generally good standard of privacy by the family might have prevented something like this.

One of the cons of having that decentralized and anonymity transactions on what Bitcoin do have, then it will be that totally eradicating the possibilities for them to get traced and thats why whenever these criminals do have the chance on knowing on whose been that dealing up with crypto then they would be that having that target. The bad thing on here is that even into those small-time holders will be that getting included as a target even if they arent that holding up that much. This is why on personal approach on things then its always been that recommended that you should be that making yourself that low-key when it comes into your crypto holdings. For those who do own big exchangers or any companies that involves crypto, then as a father/husband/family man, then you do know on what you should gonna do on which trying out to secure your family as much as you could even if it means on hiring up securities or bodyguards. We dont know ointo those people who are around on which they are just that observing and watching your move. For those who are just that ordinary people then it will be just that recommended that you shouldnt be that too flexing with your current holdings because you dont know on whose watching you. Its better to be safe than sorry or simply dont wait that there's something that do happen into your loved one sor even into yourself.

It seems these crypto kidnappings are all happening in France from some reason.
I don't hear about them anywhere else, at least not yet.
