The father of a crypto millionaire was kidnapped in broad daylight in Paris on Thursday. Similar to the David Balland attack, a ransom of 5M EUR was demanded and one of the victim's fingers was amputated.
I wonder - are there incidents that we're NOT hearing about?

Assuredly.
Think how this goes as the ripples spread out -- you can maybe protect your immediate family, but what about your best friend? Or maybe your fantasy football friends? The friendly barista who makes your drink even before you walk in?
The game theory of how much can be extorted from a guy to keep his high school girlfriend from getting gang-raped and mutilated is gross, but it will become relevant in the living future if btc does what people on this site hope it will do.

Hmm.
I wonder how strategy changes, with kidnapping and ransom vs the standard 5 dollar wrench attack.
And in countries where kidnapping and ransom is more common - what do vulnerable people do? Move? Or are there other strategies?
