Crypto Exchange Owner Kidnapped and Abducted
Toronto police have charged seven men, including three Canadian Armed Forces members, over the July abduction of a crypto exchange owner. The victim was approached as he got to his vehicle near Finch Avenue East and Bayview Avenue, grabbed at gunpoint, handcuffed and beaten. The goal was access to his cryptocurrency assets and business security systems. The kidnappers had army-issue ammo and were found to have seized over 2,700 rounds of ammunition, a shotgun, two 9mm guns with 3D-printed receivers, two silencers, GPS trackers, handcuffs, meth, cocaine, and other items. The investigation is ongoing, but no more arrests are expected.
