Crypto Exchange CEO’s Daughter and Grandson Narrowly Escape Kidnap Attempt by Armed Gang in France: Report

Armed assailants have reportedly attempted to kidnap the daughter and grandson of a crypto exchange executive in France. The news television network France 24 reports that four masked men attacked a couple and their child in broad daylight in Paris on Tuesday. Video footage shows that three of the perpetrators jumped out of a white delivery van to force the woman and her child into the vehicle. They also beat the woman’s partner, who tried to intervene. But the woman, the daughter of France-based crypto exchange platform Paymium CEO and co-founder Pierre Noizat, resisted. She grabbed one of the attackers’ handguns and threw it away. The commotion caught the attention of passersby who tried to help, including one man who brought out a fire extinguisher. The attackers eventually ended up fleeing in their waiting vehicle. The victims sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital. The attack follows a series of incidents targeting crypto entrepreneurs in France. In January, kidnappers abducted crypto wallet firm Ledger co-founder David Balland and his wife and demanded a large ransom in cryptocurrency. The police managed to rescue the couple and the suspects, including the alleged mastermind, are now detained. Last month, masked men also kidnapped the father of a crypto millionaire in the French capital and demanded ransom. The police were able to locate the place of detention and freed the man during a raid.
