Kidnapped father of French crypto-millionaire rescued
French police have rescued the father of a cryptocurrency millionaire who had been kidnapped and held for ransom in a Paris suburb.
The unnamed man was attacked in broad daylight in central Paris on Thursday. He was bundled into a delivery van by four men wearing balaclavas, police sources told Le Figaro newspaper.
French media say the victim had one finger missing when he was rescued from a house in Palaiseau, south of Paris, on Saturday.
Four suspects were arrested. It is the third abduction connected to France's cryptocurrency industry so far this year.

Yadda Yadda Yadda eat the rich etc etc, I know.
A guy was kidnapped and had his finger cut off and has now been rescued. Also kidnapping someone for personal gain is hardly some sort of struggle for liberation.
So yes, good news!
