The kidnappers mistakenly identified their son as a cryptocurrency tycoon, and a 74 year old French man was kidnapped and tortured for 16 hours! According to French media reports, three men in their 20s have been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and torturing a 74 year old man. The incident occurred on the morning of January 25th, when the kidnappers attempted to extort $3.5 million worth of cryptocurrency from the victim's son. But in the end, it was discovered that his son was not a cryptocurrency tycoon, but an ordinary web developer. The police stated that the victim suffered nearly 16 hours of torture after being kidnapped, including cutting off their fingers and injuring their face. The kidnappers also took the victim to the back room of a bar to shoot a video of abuse and sent it to their son via encrypted message to demand ransom. After confirming the target error, the kidnappers released the victim that evening.
