Three Canadian soldiers charged in Toronto kidnapping for crypto

  • —The victim was handcuffed at his car, assaulted and held at gunpoint by attackers demanding his crypto and access to a business security system
  • —Searches turned up a shotgun, about 2,500 rounds of ammunition, 3D-printed gun parts, GPS trackers, a crossbow and drugs
  • —The ammunition came from the military, which confirmed ownership but had not reported it missing
  • —Chainalysis logged 46 'wrench attacks' worth over $30 million in the first half of 2026
Why it matters: The case highlights rising physical violence against crypto holders and the risks of holding large balances.
