🚨 Major Crackdown in France


88 people, including 10 minors, have been charged in connection with 12 crypto “wrench attacks” across France.
These violent robberies involved threats, kidnappings, and physical coercion to force victims to transfer Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
French authorities are taking aggressive action against these growing threats.
Remember, physical security is just as important as digital security in crypto.

Twelve cases involving 88 people, averaging 7-8 people per group, with a level of organization more complex than DeFi protocols.

10 minors? This circle has already rolled into the next generation, outrageous.

Digital gold attracts real violence; Satoshi Nakamoto probably didn't expect this layer back then.

France is taking this seriously for real this time—88 people have been arrested—but this wrench attack thing is basically impossible to prevent. You can’t go out carrying bodyguards, can you?

The last reminder really hits home; we study multi-signature cold wallets every day, but forget that the neck is more vulnerable than the wallet.

French authorities' aggressive action sounds like PR talk; the key is how severe the punishment is.

Advice for the big shots to learn from CZ: stay in hotels + private jets. What about ordinary people?

Wrench attack—this name is really descriptive; a physical wrench is much more effective than a private key wrench.

This news should be forwarded to all KOLs who post their positions, so they can be more discreet.
