😳 CRYPTO GONE BAD: A London gang kidnapped 21-year-old Belgian barber Quentin Cepelja, convinced he was a secret Bitcoin billionaire.

They lured him with a woman, held him for X hours at knifepoint, and demanded £500K in crypto. He had just £6.71. They settled for £2K in cash.

All four suspects were caught and pleaded guilty to blackmail. Now they’re facing serious jail time.
