綁架「抖音幣圈炫富KOL」發現根本沒錢，法國歹徒傻眼放人：比我還窮真可悲 - TNL The News Lens 關鍵評論網
調查人員表示，歹徒在車內毆打受害者並逼他打開錢包，餘額不足5萬歐元後，綁匪放棄交易並於翌日凌晨棄車逃逸，法國組織暨專業犯罪調查局已接手調查。 而受害者在遭到此待遇後，身心靈受創，獲任職公司核發6天工傷假，也踢破了加密網紅「全職交易開跑車」的美夢。 文：0xJigglypuff（動區動趨） 法國加密貨幣圈近來風聲鶴唳，綁架案頻傳，6月初，一名在TikTok擁有4萬粉絲的26歲交易員遭四名歹徒綁走並勒索5萬歐元，但好笑的是，當綁匪發現他錢包裡的比特幣少得可憐，竟比自己還窮，與網路上形象的炫富截然不同，只好無奈把人當場放掉，也成為近期唯一綁架失敗的新聞。 巴黎南郊Juvisy-sur-Orge巷口監視器記錄下受害者被拖進一輛失竊汽車的畫面。調查人員表示，歹徒在車內毆打受害者並逼他打開錢包，餘額不足5萬歐元後，綁匪放棄交易並於翌日凌晨棄車逃逸，法國組織暨專業犯罪調查局（DCPJ）已接手調查。 而受害者在遭到此待遇後，身心靈受創，獲任職公司核發6天工傷假，也踢破了加密網紅「全職交易開跑車」的美夢。 A 26 year old TikTok influencer was kidnapped by 4 men in… you guessed it… France but was released after they realized he didn't have as much money as he said he did online. Fake PnL screenshots are never worth it — Beau (@beausecurity) June 15, 2025 警方跨國追捕，仍缺人手 在歐洲發起多個加密錢包搶劫案件的幕後主謀Badiss Mohamed Amide Bajjou在6月初於摩洛哥被捕，巴黎檢方6月11日起訴25名嫌犯，其中6人未成年，但仍可能有相關殘黨與後續仿效者。 內政部長已與數十名加密創業者會面，承諾增派警力並建立快速應變管道。然而，專家指出跨國司法互助與取證依舊耗時，受害者如今年1月，硬體錢包公司Ledger共同創辦人David Balland及伴侶遭割指威脅，贖金高達1000萬歐元。 5月13日，Paymium執行長Pierre Noizat的懷孕女兒也遇持槍歹徒。France24援引官方統計指出，2025前五個月，全國錄得12起加密綁架案，金額從數十萬到數千萬歐元不等。 「鏈上地址就是名單」 安全公司InTech顧問提醒投資人，炫富、單一錢包存放或面交交易都可能成為破口。 你在區塊鏈上的公開地址，就是綁匪的「客戶名單」。 部分高淨值投資人已聘請私人保全或考慮搬遷。交易所則被要求加強KYC資料保護，避免資料外流。面對高額但難追蹤的資產，提升OPSEC比追逐報酬更要緊。 本文經動區動趨授權刊登，原文刊載於此 延伸閱讀 【加入關鍵評論網會員】每天精彩好文直送你的信箱，每週獨享編輯精選、時事精選、藝文週報等特製電子報。還可留言與作者、記者、編輯討論文章內容。立刻點擊免費加入會員！ 責任編輯：丁肇九 核稿編輯：翁世航

France makes arrests over cryptocurrency kidnapping
French police have arrested several people suspected of involvement in last month's kidnapping of the father of a wealthy cryptocurrency entrepreneur, a source close to the case said Wednesday. French authorities have been dealing with a string of kidnappings and extorsion attempts targeting the families of high-worth individuals dealing in cryptocurrencies. The most recent suspects, apprehended on Tuesday according to the source, are believed to have been part of an attempt to extort funds from a wealthy man by abducting his father. On May 1, he was taken in Paris's southern 14th arrondissement in broad daylight by four men wearing ski masks who bundled him into a delivery van as passers-by looked on. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of several million euros (dollars) and cut off one of the man's fingers. He was freed days later by a police tactical unit who stormed the house in a Paris suburb where he was being held. There was no word Wednesday on the exact number or the locations of the arrests. The suspects can be held up to 96 hours without charges being brought. Since the start of the year crypto-related kidnappings and abduction attempt haves sparked concern about the security of wealthy crypto tycoons, who have notched up immense fortunes from the booming alternative currency business. One prominent cryptocurrency entrepreneur urged authorities to "stop the Mexicanisation of France" -- a reference to kidnappings by violent organised crime groups. The spate of abductions began in January, when kidnappers seized French crypto boss David Balland and his partner. Balland co-founded the crypto firm Ledger, valued at the time at more than $1 billion. Balland's kidnappers cut off his finger and demanded a hefty ransom. He was freed the next day, and his girlfriend was found tied up in the boot of a car outside Paris. The suspected mastermind of that operation and other similar attacks, 24-year-old Badiss Mohamed Amide Bajjou, was last week arrested in Tangier, Morocco. At least nine suspects are under investigation in that case. Last month, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau held an emergency meeting with cryptocurrency leaders, with the ministry announcing plans to bolster their security. asl/jh/sjw/cw
