A Canadian crypto forum moderator and father of four claims he was forced into hiding after a violent kidnapping attempt. The suspects apparently wanted to take his Bitcoin.

一位加拿大加密貨幣論壇版主、四個孩子的父親聲稱，他在一次暴力綁架企圖後被迫躲藏起來。嫌疑人顯然想拿走他的比特幣。

The anonymous victim, who did not want to identify himself for the sake of his children, said attackers were linked to organized crime.

這位匿名受害者為了孩子的緣故不願透露自己的身份，他說攻擊者與組織犯罪有關。

Charges of conspiracy to kidnap and possession of prohibited firearms were laid against two adults based on the victim’s police report, according to La Presse. Two minors were also arrested.

據《新聞報》報道，根據受害者的警方報告，兩名成年人被指控共謀綁架和持有違禁槍支。兩名未成年人也被逮捕。

The suspects have no criminal history and were released on house arrest until their trial next March.

嫌疑人沒有犯罪記錄，並被軟禁直至明年三月受審。

The victim described how he survived the attack. The attackers had torture equipment, including a tarp with a hole, and claws that would sever a limb, he said.

受害者描述了他是如何在襲擊中倖存下來的。他說，攻擊者擁有酷刑裝備，包括有洞的防水布和可以切斷肢體的爪子。

The incident took place in two stages, a spokesperson said.

一位發言人表示，該事件分兩個階段發生。

The first event, they said, took place on November 4, when two men in surgical masks approached his home. After they fled when he shut the door, the victim reported them to the police. He bought him bear spray and got him an air pistol, fearing for his safety.

他們說，第一起事件發生在 11 月 4 日，當時兩名戴著外科口罩的男子走近他的家。當他關上門後，他們逃跑了，受害者向警方報案。由於擔心他的安全，他買了防熊噴霧和氣手槍給他。

On November 8, the second stage took place. It is when a man loaded his daughter into a car and was told by him that near his home, behind bushes, he noticed a suspicious, black car without a license plate. When he got into his vehicle, the car started to move. After swerving onto the main road, the suspects fled on foot, but the man followed the car. The driver was then sprayed with bear spray when the man stopped nearby. Then one of the suspects pointed a handgun at him.

11月8日，第二階段進行。一名男子將女兒裝上車，他告訴他，在他家附近的灌木叢後面，他注意到一輛可疑的黑色汽車，沒有車牌。當他上車時，車子開始移動。嫌犯轉向主幹道後步行逃跑，但該男子尾隨汽車。當男子停在附近時，司機被噴了防熊噴霧。然後，其中一名嫌犯用手槍指著他。

Later, police said the attackers intended to kidnap him and make him reveal the password to his Bitcoin wallet. They reportedly saw posts on a Facebook page he managed that led them to believe that he owned 2.5 million bitcoins. However, the victim says he only has a small amount, about $10,000.

後來警方表示，攻擊者意圖綁架他，並請他透露比特幣錢包的密碼。據報道，他們在他管理的 Facebook 頁面上看到了一些帖子，這些帖子讓他們相信他擁有 250 萬枚比特幣。然而，受害者稱他只有很少的錢，大約10,000美元。

The police were unable to guarantee the victim’s safety and suggested he move. Since then he, and his family, have been staying in temporary accommodation. The Youth Protection Department (DPJ) also came into play to protect the children. The family visited but were now refusing to talk about the case.

警方無法保證受害者的安全，建議他離開。從那時起，他和他的家人就一直住在臨時住所。青少年保護部（DPJ）也開始發揮作用來保護孩子。家人探望過，但現在拒絕談論此案。

The victim complained about the suspect being released on bail. To protect his family, he has had to spend his savings. Criminologist Chloé Leclerc told the court’s decision surprised her, as she acknowledged house arrest was restrictive but still had a problem with the decision.

受害者抱怨嫌疑人被保釋。為了保護家人，他不得不花光積蓄。犯罪學家 Chloé Leclerc 表示，法院的判決讓她感到驚訝，因為她承認軟禁是有限制性的，但仍對這項判決有疑問。
