copy-pasta from X acc 0xLouisT:

"Ledger Co-Founder's kidnapping is a brutal reminder to be very careful about your security as a public crypto person

- On Jan 21, David Balland and his wife are abducted from their home and taken to separate locations

- Kidnappers demand 100 BTC (~$10M) ransom from another co-founder, allegedly Éric Larchevêque, and send one of David’s severed fingers as proof

- Part of the ransom is paid to buy time

- GIGN (France's elite unit) locates and rescues David

- Hours later, they free his wife, found tied up in a car

- Most of the ransom is tracked and frozen

Total suspects apprehended: 10 gang members (ages 20-40), now facing life imprisonment"

If the ransom was payed in ₿, then how could it possibly be “frozen” ??
