In Buenos Aires, a young Russian couple operating a crypto business was kidnapped under false pretenses. The assailants extorted $43,398 in cryptocurrency and demanded a ransom of $100,000 from relatives. Interpol is now pursuing the Russian suspects who escaped the country shortly after the incident.
Reports indicate a worrying trend of rising violence against individuals in the crypto sector, with multiple kidnapping cases. Notably, a recent incident in New York involved the abduction of a crypto entrepreneur, highlighting a global escalation in risks for those in this domain.
