The woman’s father, Pierre Noizat, is the CEO and a founder of the Bitcoin exchange platform Paymium. Speaking Friday to broadcaster BFMTV, Noizat tore into French judges and politicians for what he alleged is their “lack of action.” He said his son-in-law required stitches for injuries suffered while fighting off the attackers. Noizat expressed concerns that wealthy entrepreneurs from other industries could also be targeted, saying: “I think it’s just the start if nothing is done.”Eric Larchevêque, another crypto entrepreneur whose associate and his wife were taken hostage for ransom in January and who attended the meeting on Friday, said: “All entrepreneurs and the image of France are threatened.”

In a statement, Retailleau expressed “my determination to put a stop to these unbearable attacks.”The latest kidnap drama came at an inopportune time for the minister who oversees France’s security services, because his hardline rhetoric on crime and immigration faces an important test this weekend. Retailleau is hoping that a vote by members of the conservative Republicans party will elect him as its leader. A win could help position Retailleau for an eventual tilt at the French presidency in 2027, when Macron’s second and last term ends.Retailleau’s ministry said security will be beefed up for crypto entrepreneurs and their families, with offers of security briefings by elite police units, priority access to emergency services and police checks of their home security.

Larchevêque, a co-founder of French crypto wallet firm Ledger, told broadcaster RTL that he came away from Friday’s meeting with the feeling that Retailleau and his police services “have understood what’s at stake.”Larchevêque said the last 12 months saw 50 attacks around the world targeting people involved in cryptocurrency. Of those, 14 were in France, he said.

“There’s a real problem,” he said.
