A crypto forum administrator and father of four claims he was forced to go into hiding with his family after being the target of an attempted kidnapping. The Canadian man said his attackers intended to torture him and mistakenly believed he owned a large amount of bitcoin. The Canadian man, who has not been named to protect his child's identity, was told by the police that they could not keep his family safe and advised them to relocate because of the suspected attacker's possible ties to organized crime. The family has since decided to keep changing Airbnb homes and living off their savings. Two adults have been arrested and face charges of conspiracy to kidnap and possession of an illegal firearm. Two minor suspects have also been arrested. However, the alleged attacker has no criminal record and has been sentenced to house arrest pending trial in March, leading the family to fear for their safety.
