Pregnant Crypto Boss's Daughter Escapes Kidnapping in Paris

Paris Kidnapping Attempt: Pregnant Woman Escapes Masked Gang A brazen kidnapping attempt targeting the pregnant daughter of a cryptocurrency businessman unfolded in Paris, France, on May 15, 2025. The incident, captured on video, shows a violent struggle between the woman, her partner, and a group of masked assailants. The partner engaged the attackers, sustaining injuries in the process. A nearby business owner, identified as Nabil, intervened, using a fire extinguisher to help chase off the suspects. "I rushed over with the extinguisher, not knowing exactly what I was going to do," Nabil recounted in a post-incident interview. "But I feel like it ended the altercation." The suspects fled the scene, and police are currently investigating the incident. This marks at least the third violent attack against wealthy cryptocurrency figures and their families in recent months, raising concerns about the security risks associated with the industry. The quick thinking and bravery of the woman's partner and Nabil likely prevented a far more serious outcome.
