This could be the biggest physical attacks on a crypto personalities as it was reported that David Belland, co-founder of Ledger wallet was kidnapped in France, but he was released. Reports are still sketchy by this time, not sure if they paid ransom or what.
Ledger wallet is not a good hardware wallet, but this kidnap is not good too. Kidnap someone is never a good action of any person or group of people.
