Binance France President Targeted in Armed Kidnapping Attempt
Armed men attempted to kidnap Binance France President David Prinçay at his home, but fled when he was absent.Summary
Three hooded, armed individuals attempted an armed home invasion targeting David Prinçay, the President of Binance France, at his residence in the Val-de-Marne region around 7:00 a.m. on February 12. The attackers reportedly forced another resident to locate the apartment, searched Prinçay's residence, and left with two stolen phones after discovering he was not home. Shortly after, a separate incident occurred in Vaucresson where a resident was struck by hooded men. Authorities linked the two events after surveillance footage and tracing the stolen phones confirmed the same vehicle and suspects were involved. French law enforcement tracked the suspects via public transportation as they boarded a train to Lyon, where they were intercepted and arrested at Lyon Perrache station later that day. Binance Co-Founder Yi He confirmed that Prinçay and his family are safe. This incident highlights a growing trend of crypto-linked attacks and home invasions targeting affluent crypto investors in France.
