The wife of Sebastien Borget, COO and co-founder of The Sandbox (SAND), was the target of an attempted kidnapping at their home in France, The Block reported. Perpetrators disguised as delivery drivers, along with masked accomplices, tried to force the victim into a vehicle. The attempt failed after neighbors heard her screams and intervened. Two suspects have since been arrested, while four others remain at large. Police are investigating a potential link to cryptocurrency-related crime based on their initial findings. France has recorded 41 crypto-related kidnappings or attempted kidnappings this year, fueling concerns over a rapid increase in violent crimes targeting crypto industry figures and their families across Europe.
