What a terrible country you live in, OP. But all this is told just to say that storing Bitcoin is safer? Why didn't you offer them bitcoins? I think the bandits in your country are very educated if there are so many such stories. They would not refuse such a ransom. To me, this looks like another low-rating "blockbuster" with an obvious plot. However, based on your posting, OP, I see a regular presence on the forum. Even in the event of such troubles, you do not stop fulfilling your quota?

kidnappers were later caught by the police, and my brother identified them.

But I am surprised that someone is asking if a story is true or false instead of enjoying the moral lessons. Let me ask you again, @_act_, why would I have to lie,? Or maybe for merit or donations?. I would have dropped a link to the news of their arrest but it it will not be good for privacy.

Exclusively for this purpose.

This might be the reason why people have stopped discussing their real-life encounters because it will be misinterpreted as a plot to fish merit. I am pleased with myself, and my conscience is clear that there I iso a iota of lies in what I have narrated.

Of course, it did affect my presence in the forum because I had three days of fear and sleepless nights. Now, I never stated the date of event so you cannot determine if it affected my post quota.

I have said that some members of this forum are aware that my elder brother was kidnapped because I told them. Maybe they can send you a pm if they want to ascertain the authenticity of my post. But I guess many of them might want to remain private.

Regardless of the perception of some people, I am glad I shared the story because it might interest some people. It should be part of the true life stories that show the failure of the fiat system.

Another crazy story from another Stake signature user Tongue

Of course its fake, just like all the fake jackpot wins from streaming users Stake has all over the internet Wink

OP, come on. Stop spamming and use your time for more useful contributions. Your kidnappers are so nice they negotiated 3 days until you could afford the amount. LOLLL

Have you ever negotiated with kidnappers? They can call now and won't call till tomorrow. They are keeping the victim to get the best deal. They can even keep a victim until cars or other valuables are sold. Some victims have stayed with kidnappers for one month.
