Một người đàn ông Canada nói rằng anh ta trở thành mục tiêu bắt cóc do bị nhầm là người nắm giữ một lượng lớn Bitcoin, sau đó buộc phải trốn tránh cùng gia đình.

The BlockBeats news, on January 7th, a cryptocurrency forum administrator and father of four claimed that he was forced to go into hiding with his family after becoming the target of an attempted kidnapping. The Canadian man said that the attackers intended to torture him and mistakenly believed that he owned a large amount of Bitcoin. The Canadian man, who did not disclose his name to protect his children’s identity, was told by the police that they could not guarantee the safety of his family and advised them to relocate as the alleged attackers may be involved in organized crime. Since then, this family has decided to constantly change Airbnb residences and rely on savings to survive. Two adults have been arrested and face charges of conspiracy to kidnap and possession of illegal firearms. Two minor suspects have also been arrested. However, the alleged attackers, who have no criminal record, have been placed under house arrest and await trial in March, causing this family to feel concerned about their safety. (The Block)
