The kidnappers found their victim in a social network, where the man demonstrated his luxurious way of life and a beautiful bride. For some time they tracked down the businessman, and then kidnapped him along with a laptop and other equipment.

"The criminals did not let go of the victim for eight hours, kept him in a minibus and threatened with violence. They forced him to give them 450 BTC, "the newspaper said.
The victim wrote a statement to the police, and the investigators in a short time managed not only to reach the trail of criminals, but also to track the movement of stolen coins.

"The police initiated the operation with a front-line agent and managed to catch the criminals red-handed when they were preparing to kidnap the second victim," the newspaper noted.
