"The screams echoed down the narrow street in a trendy neighborhood here early Tuesday morning: “Help! Help! Help!”
Three men in black masks had jumped on a 34-year-old woman whose father runs Paymium, a French cryptocurrency exchange. Brandishing canisters of mace and what looked like a gun, the masked men attempted to force the woman and her toddler into an idling white van disguised as a delivery truck.
But her husband threw himself between his family and the attackers, while a neighbor hustled away their child. “Let go of me!” the woman yelled as the assailants bludgeoned the husband, his head seen spattered with blood in videos taken from nearby buildings.
With other neighbors closing in, and a shopkeeper readying to throw a fire extinguisher, the would-be abductors jumped in the back of their van and sped off.
The brazen attack was the latest in a wave of violent abductions around the world, including several in the U.S., targeting crypto executives and their families. Victims have been pistol whipped, abducted, and—in two cases—had fingers severed.
The criminals’ goal: millions of dollars in ransom in cryptocurrency.
The assaults are often called “wrench attacks” because they rely on simple tools for inflicting pain to coerce victims, rather than sophisticated tools for hacking them."
