Best way to protect yourself? Dont be a dick!

Perhaps not being a huge bag of dicks could be an option for #Crypto bros and investors? #MarkCuban is a gazillionaire, he's not an ass about it, interacts with us poors, and does meaningful work to improve US healthcare. I wonder if he has the same security concerns? (

And the top tier tech bros in DOGE? They're gonna need a whole lot more Secret Service agents too after the way they treated thousands of government employees and military during this witch hunt.

Well. The economy is tough.

Would these fake bodyguards be Ai generated? Metaverse avatars? Or NFT bodyguards (essentially a digital receipt for the idea of a bodyguard)?

But you can't. The resources required to take the *single* action of forced abduction will always be far lower than the resources required to repel that action *at all times*. In other words, you can't compete with a one-day force, when you need an every-day force.

crypto criminals meet other criminals. We all shrug.

Everyone's empathy is spent and what is left is for the truly deserving. These guys are not even on that list.

They could donate all their wealth to the sick and poor then they wouldn't have this problem.

Glad to hear they’re scared

Thoughts and prayers 👀

The rich would rather hire personal armies then just pay their fair share in taxes. Disgusting, we should ensure they need these guards.

Gosh. That’s so unfortunate. Anyway…

Trying to work up sympathy for pyramid scheme managers getting targeted by kidnappers and extortionists.

Trying hard to give a shit... Got nothing.

Because not every case of kidnap or extortion is reported, it is difficult to objectively assess the actual risk to wealthy figures in crypto. In making the fear of kidnap more acute, the headlines benefit the private security businesses, themselves incentivized to overstate the threat.

Ponzi schemes always get messy

Ask the felon we seem to be paying to protect the Nazi. 🙄🙄🙄

I cannot wait to read about the scams this triggers.

of eugenic capital. But they could just protect People directly as people are the basis of all capital.

You guys sure you want technofeudalism? Because kidnapping and hostage taking are a feature, not a bug. Ask Charlemagne.

I think the amount you deserve to have anything is inversely proportional to the amount you have to spend to protect keeping it.

Yet another reason why crypto is not viable for the average person.

Lemme just call Jack Reacher and get him to rescue them. Hang on... Jack? Yeah? Uh-huh? He said he doesn't give a shit.

My theory is that all the crypto abductees are being held in a Welsh landfill site, and nobody's looking for them because, in the real world, literally no-one cares.

Well, what does one expect with the chosen currency of criminal enterprises ??? They were obviously asking for it (said women everywhere).

The modern world of people's doings.

Not sure if this is covered in your story, but there have been some sketchy deaths associated with crypto. There was Dr. John Forsyth, a co-founder of a crypto currency called ONFA. Then more recently, the teacher Justin Rieger. Just sketchy.
