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.
