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.

This brought me to thinking about whether or if he was kidnapped in the first place, because according to the statement, they said he was kidnapped and later released, but there is no clear information about whether a ransom was paid to the kidnappers or not, as for me, i just want to believe that this may be to just stir the internet and see how people will react to it, though if it happens in real life, then its a condemnable act, because it does not solve any problem already in place with the use of ledger wallet regarding privacy.

In my region, victims of kidnapping do not usually disclose much about what really transpired between them and the kidnappers. Maybe they are just being security conscious and trying not to reveal the kidnappers' tactics to the public so potential criminals don’t learn new methods. Whether there was a kidnapping case or not, this news should serve as a reminder to other crypto enthusiasts to be security conscious and avoid exposing too much about their financial lives to the public, especially when it involves crypto (Bitcoin).
