Three armed attackers posed as police officers to gain entry into a couple’s home in Le Chesnay, a suburb of Paris, forcing them to transfer approximately 900,000 euros worth of bitcoin.
A French couple was forced to transfer approximately $1 million (equivalent to around 900,000 euros) in bitcoin to armed attackers during a home invasion that took place Monday morning in Le Chesnay, a municipality in the western suburbs of Paris. Local authorities confirmed the incident, with the news corroborated by the Versailles Prosecutor’s Office and initially reported by French media outlet TF1 Info.
Three individuals gained entry into the residence by posing as police officers. Once inside, one of the suspects threatened the woman with a knife, ordering her partner to transfer bitcoins to an account controlled by the attackers. The man complied, sending the equivalent of approximately 900,000 euros in bitcoin. After the transfer was completed, the three assailants restrained the man by tying him up before fleeing in a white van.

It doesn't say, but I'm curious what happens with the Bitcoin: are they swapping into other chains or mixing it or was it a custodial account at an exchange and they sent it to a different exchange? The latter seems unlikely as I assume it would be frozen.
Maybe we'll never know, or at least not for the next few months.
Another wrench attack in France. Damn. This stuff is scary
hahaha and exactly that is what they want you to be: scared from a false flag
I saw a graph on Twitter and the attacks are on the upswing. In France in particular. Someone mentioned the possibility that corrupt people in tax enforcement are passing on information about big holders. I don't think it's all FUD. If you think Bitcoin is a valuable project, you should definitely protect yourself. If it's valuable it's worth stealing
I thought this was confirmed, that one person (probably of many) was arrested specifically for this?
LOL you guys are so gullible with everything that is coming from TV and govs. They are playing you so easily.
It's all to scare the shit out of normies. This is not for bitcoiners that knows what to do, but for normies that have no idea.
Calm your tities and stop eating all this fear porn.
I read recently that kidnappings in France have light penalties so criminal gangs are exploiting it.
LOL this story is so wrong is like written by shitGPT...
LOL and they let them in, just like that, and we have to believe that bullshit.
Secondly... you never give anything, even if they threaten to kill you, they know they will get shit anyways.
~lol It was on TV, check the video!
