This is outrageous! At the end of last month, there was a kidnapping case targeting a crypto KOL in a certain area. The victim was scammed out of 170,000 USDT, equivalent to about 5.5 million TWD. The entire crime played out like a movie, but it really happened.

Here’s what happened: a crypto blogger who usually shares trading insights online had a "fan" who had been interacting with him for a long time, always very sincere and repeatedly expressing a desire to learn trading skills in person. The blogger thought the fan was genuinely interested, so he agreed.

On the night of November 29, the two met at a coffee shop. They chatted for almost an hour and the atmosphere was quite good—the blogger didn't sense any danger at all. At the end, the other person said he had a gift in his car, so the blogger followed him to the parking lot—that's where the trap was set.

When they got to the parking lot, two people suddenly jumped out from the bushes! The three of them attacked together, beating and pepper-spraying the blogger, then forcibly stuffed him into a car and drove him to the outskirts. They forced the blogger to sell all the crypto in his phone, and in the end, all 170,000 USDT was transferred away. After succeeding, the group dumped the blogger at the airport and fled.

Fortunately, the police acted quickly, reviewed surveillance footage, and caught two of the suspects within a day, aged 32 and 31, who are now under arrest for unlawful detention, robbery, and assault.

Honestly, this incident is a wake-up call for everyone involved in crypto: you really need to be cautious when meeting online acquaintances in person, especially when assets are involved. Public places are not absolutely safe—scammers can lure you to remote locations to attack. Don’t keep too much in hot wallets on your phone; use hardware wallets or exchange custody as much as possible. Most importantly, don’t easily disclose your holdings—an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth.
