In late 2023, French streamer TeufeurS was extorted for a ransom after a family member was kidnapped in France.

I can finally share that I helped lead efforts that resulted in an ~$800K freeze with the Binance Security team after a $2M ransom was paid.

Six suspects tied to the incident were later arrested. Given the sensitivity of the case, I held off commenting until now.

I have since assisted with asset freezes and identifying culprits in several of the recent France home invasion robberies, and hope to share details in the coming months.

If you or someone you know falls victim, reach out as soon as possible rather than delay.

I prioritize these types of cases as they have grown more frequent amidst this disturbing trend.
