Ledger Co-Founder's kidnapping is a brutal reminder to be very careful about your security as a public crypto person

- On Jan 21, David Balland and his wife are abducted from their home and taken to separate locations
- Kidnappers demand 100 BTC (~$10M) ransom from another co-founder, allegedly Éric Larchevêque, and send one of David’s severed fingers as proof
- Part of the ransom is paid to buy time
- GIGN (France's elite unit) locates and rescues David
- Hours later, they free his wife, found tied up in a car
- Most of the ransom is tracked and frozen

Total suspects apprehended: 10 gang members (ages 20-40), now facing life imprisonment

Kudos to the police for their incredible work. 

Stay safe out there.

P wild no one is talking ab this or the fact that ledger made this more possible since they leaked everyone’s addresses and emails

Damn so scary. That's why it's better to stay anon and not show my wealth online
