A Canadian cryptocurrency forum moderator has reportedly gone into hiding following an attempted kidnapping by four individuals who believed he possessed a substantial amount of Bitcoin. The assailants allegedly intended to torture him to steal his assets, mistakenly thinking he held 2.5 million Bitcoin. In reality, the moderator only had approximately $10,000 in cryptocurrency. The incident highlights the dangers associated with cryptocurrency ownership, as the moderator faced threats of extreme violence due to a few public posts that misled the kidnappers about his wealth. The situation has raised concerns about the safety of individuals involved in the cryptocurrency space.
