PANews reported on May 21 that, according to The Block, the wife of Sebastien Borget, co-founder and COO of The Sandbox, was recently the victim of an attempted kidnapping at her home in Villenoy, Seine-et-Marne, France. The report, citing French media, stated that a suspect posing as a deliveryman rang the doorbell to lure her in, after which five hooded accomplices broke into the yard and attempted to force her into a vehicle. Neighbors intervened, and the suspects fled. Police subsequently intercepted a ride-hailing vehicle and arrested two teenage suspects, recovering a toy handgun, restraints, and a hood at the scene. Preliminary investigations suggest the incident is related to cryptocurrency; France has recorded over 100 kidnapping or attempted kidnapping incidents related to crypto assets since 2023.
