Someone was reported to have made his fortune from cryptocurrencies. His father was kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded for ransom but not stated if the ransom was bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies. I tried to read other news but I did not get the details of the ransom asked for by the kidnappers.
You can read the news yourself from any of these two links:

Crypto owners that are known to the public are getting targeted in France. You can remember the co-founder of French crypto-wallet firm Ledger, David Balland, was also kidnapped with his wife in January from their home in the region of Cher of central France.
There is nothing good in crypto than keeping a very low profile far away from public known because a lot of bad people could target the person, sometimes someone might not even made there money from crypto but the moment it get to the public hearing that all the persons money came from that source, immediately people's mindset on his asset and bank portfolio will be very small compared to what they would think on his cryptocurrency assets and if the grace is not on that person they will start plotting evil , all this people that was kidnapped because of this should be something taking serious on .
