French court jails two men over crypto home invasion targeting 660 BTC that family never had
- —The February 6 raid left three family members with injuries requiring 10 to 36 days off work
- —Gang targeted 660 BTC (~€40M); the family actually held 0.066 BTC
- —Victim data leaked from a crypto tax platform with a decimal error
- —The mastermind who directed the attack by phone has not been tried
Why it matters: The case highlights data-leak risks at crypto tax services and a surge in crypto-related kidnappings, with 135 such cases recorded in France since 2023.
