A jury at London's Criminal Court has convicted multiple defendants in a kidnapping and extortion case targeting cryptocurrency holders. Prosecutors stated that two cryptocurrency millionaires from France were illegally detained by a criminal gang in London for approximately 52 hours in 2025 and were forced to transfer around $30,000 in cryptocurrency, with the gang demanding a ransom of up to $150,000. Police successfully rescued the victims by tracking phone locations and engaging in a high-speed chase. Several defendants were found guilty of extortion and illegal detention, while the mastermind behind the case remains at large.
