The unexpected spike in copycat attacks in France, Belgium, and Spain over the last couple of months recommends that crypto break-in as a method has actually captured the attention of the mob. (This week’s kidnapping effort is currently being examined by the mob system of the Parisian cops.)

Crypto market experts appear persuaded that the mob likes these attacks since of a (incorrect) belief that crypto transfers are untraceable. Individuals like Chainalysis CEO Jonathan Levin are attempting to hint in the criminal offense employers.

“For whatever reason, there is a perception that’s out there that crypto is an asset that is untraceable, and that really lends itself to criminals acting in a certain way,” Levin stated at a current conference covered by the trade publication Cointelegraph.

“Apparently, the [knowledge] that crypto is not untraceable hasn’t been gotten by a few of the mob groups that are in fact committing these attacks, and a few of them are focused in, you understand, France, however not solely.”
