加密货币论坛版主声称绑架企图窃取他的比特币

这名加拿大男子为保护孩子的身份而没有透露姓名，他说警方告诉他，他们无法保证他家人的安全，他们应该搬迁。

A crypto forum moderator in Canada has been forced into hiding with his family after falling victim to an alleged kidnapping and torture attempt over claims that he owns millions of BTC.

加拿大一名加密货币论坛版主因声称拥有数百万比特币而遭到绑架和酷刑，随后被迫与家人躲藏起来。

According to a report by La Presse on Monday, the incident began in early November 2024 when two masked men approached the man’s home in a suspicious manner. The men fled after the victim closed the door on them.

据 La Presse 周一报道，该事件始于 2024 年 11 月初，当时两名蒙面男子以可疑的方式接近该男子的家。受害者关上门后，这些人逃跑了。

Days later, the man spotted hooded suspects in a car near his house while he was taking his daughter to daycare. The man found himself behind the vehicle on a main road and was on the phone to the police when the car suddenly swerved.

几天后，这名男子在带女儿去托儿所时，在他家附近的一辆汽车里发现了戴着头巾的嫌疑人。这名男子发现自己在主干道上的车辆后面，当时他正在给警察打电话，这时汽车突然转向。

The driver of the vehicle approached him, then another pointed a handgun at him, prompting him to use pepper spray in self-defense, he said.

他说，汽车司机走近他，然后另一名司机用手枪指着他，促使他使用胡椒喷雾进行自卫。

Two adults and two juveniles were arrested on charges of conspiracy to kidnap and possession of prohibited firearms, with police reports and release orders supporting the case, the media outlet reported.

据媒体报道，两名成年人和两名青少年因串谋绑架和持有违禁枪支而被捕，警方报告和释放令支持此案。

However, the alleged attackers, who have no criminal record, were released under house arrest pending trial in March, leaving the family fearing for their safety.

然而，没有犯罪记录的涉嫌袭击者于三月份被软禁候审，这让家人担心他们的安全。

The man, who was not named to protect the identity of his children, told La Presse that the attackers had “equipment to torture [him],” including a 2 foot by 2 foot tarp with a hole in the middle and claws around it, “to cut off a limb and stop the bleeding.”

为了保护孩子的身份，这名男子没有透露姓名，他告诉《新闻报》，袭击者拥有“折磨他的设备”，其中包括一块 2 英尺乘 2 英尺的防水布，中间有一个洞，周围有爪子， “切断肢体并止血。”

“It’s incredibly violent,” he said.

“这是令人难以置信的暴力，”他说。

The family has been apparently living off savings and moving from one Airbnb to another since the incident.

自事件发生以来，这家人显然一直靠积蓄生活，并从一间 Airbnb 搬到另一间。

A Sûreté du Québec police spokesperson told the outlet that it is “part of police work to meet victims and explain to them that we cannot ensure their safety 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” without commenting directly on the matter.

魁北克省警方发言人告诉媒体，“与受害者会面并向他们解释我们无法每周 7 天、每天 24 小时确保他们的安全是警方工作的一部分”，但没有直接评论此事。

The bail decision surprised University of Montreal criminologist Chloé Leclerc, La Presse reported. However, the deputy director of the International Center for Comparative Criminology said that house arrest of suspects is a fairly restrictive condition of release.

据 La Presse 报道，保释决定令蒙特利尔大学犯罪学家 Chloé Leclerc 感到惊讶。不过，国际比较犯罪学中心副主任表示，软禁嫌疑人是一个相当限制性的释放条件。

In the Canadian criminal justice system, where the presumption of innocence prevails, incarceration while awaiting trial should, in principle, be the exception, she added.

她补充说，在加拿大刑事司法系统中，无罪推定占主导地位，等待审判期间的监禁原则上应该是例外。
