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.
I do not think it is relevant to rate his platform in this case. Regardless whether his platform is good or bad for you, this is still alarming as he is a very well known personality in the crypto industry. People involved in crypto especially those with exposed personal details on the internet needs to put in extra safety measures.

He needs to tighten his security because kidnapping is not an easy thing to do and must have taken weeks if not months to plan and perfectly execute.
