TikTok Influencer and Crypto Trader Held Hostage for €50K in Crypto—Freed After Account Balance Fails to Impress Kidnappers
A 26-year-old TikTok influencer and crypto trader was reportedly kidnapped in France and held for a €50,000 crypto ransom. But when the kidnappers found he had been all-in on XRP since 2018 and had little to show for it, they released him—allegedly sending $1,000 in USDT before letting him go.
