Crypto Bigwigs in Danger: Bodyguards in Vitriol Demand! 🚨

Darling, it seems that our beloved European private security firms are busier than a cocktail party at my place, reporting a rather *noteworthy* surge in calls from blockchain magnates, fund managers, and tech whizzes desperate for bodyguards. Infinite Risks International, the Dutch firm with a flair for the dramatic, confirms they’ve seen a swell in inquiries and long-term contracts from crypto clients crying out for protection — apparently convinced they are quite the prime targets for abductions. Who knew, darling? 💼🔒

Ah, la belle France! The scene of quite the melodramatic episode where authorities have recorded no fewer than three kidnapping attempts involving crypto personalities in a single year of 2025 — a veritable ballet of danger, if I do say so myself. Official warnings and emergency protocols are now as common as croissants, all tailored for the high-flying, high-net-worth crowd in the space. Très chic, but quite dangerous, n’est-ce pas?

And as the story unfolds, we have Ledger’s co-founder, David Balland, who was quite the guest of honor in what I shall generously call a *fascinating* kidnapping saga earlier this year. Rescued after a police intervention—imagine the drama! In another particularly grisly display, organized criminals decided to add a dash of horror by mutilating a hostage — yes, the father of a crypto entrepreneur — in a failed ransom scheme amid the charming streets of Paris. Only in the City of Light, darling, only in Paris.

Then, on a sunlit May day — specifically the 13th — masked assailants attempted to lift the daughter and grandson of Paymium’s Pierre Noizat right in the middle of broad daylight. Luckily, the victims, aided by a brave bystander with perhaps more courage than sense, fought off the villains. A narrow escape, but one can only imagine the melodrama — bravo, my dear!

In the aftermath, French law enforcement has issued quite the sartorial suggestion to our crypto stars: tone down the bling, lay off the flashy clothes, and keep a lower profile. Emergency lines are being made more efficient for those deemed at high risk — one hopes with a touch more style, though I dare say they could use some of my personal charm.

Meanwhile, the French interior ministry has mustered the industry’s elite for a little pow-wow on security upgrades and preventative measures — all very serious, while we wait to see if this new wave of ‘financially motivated violence’ will be anything more than a temporary spectacle. Such excitement, darling, isn’t it just tantalizing? 💼🕶️
