一位加拿大加密货币论坛版主、四个孩子的父亲声称，他在一次暴力绑架企图后被迫躲藏起来。嫌疑人显然想拿走他的比特币。

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

这位匿名受害者为了孩子的缘故不愿透露自己的身份，他说袭击者与有组织犯罪有关。

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.

据《新闻报》报道，根据受害者的警方报告，两名成年人被指控共谋绑架和持有违禁枪支。两名未成年人也被捕。

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

嫌疑人没有犯罪记录，并被软禁直至明年三月受审。

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袭击中幸存的。他说，袭击者拥有酷刑装备，包括有洞的防水布和可以切断肢体的爪子。

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

一位发言人表示，该事件分两个阶段发生。

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.

他们说，第一起事件发生在 11 月 4 日，当时两名戴着外科口罩的男子走近他的家。当他关上门后，他们逃跑了，受害者向警方报案。由于担心他的安全，他给他买了防熊喷雾剂和气手枪。

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，第二阶段进行。一名男子将女儿装上车，他告诉他，在他家附近的灌木丛后面，他注意到一辆可疑的黑色汽车，没有车牌。当他上车时，车子开始移动。嫌疑人转向主干道后步行逃跑，但该男子尾随汽车。当该男子停在附近时，司机被喷了防熊喷雾。然后，其中一名嫌疑人用手枪指着他。

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.

后来警方表示，袭击者意图绑架他，并让他透露比特币钱包的密码。据报道，他们在他管理的 Facebook 页面上看到了一些帖子，这些帖子让他们相信他拥有 250 万枚比特币。然而，受害人称他只有很少的钱，大约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.

警方无法保证受害人的安全，建议他离开。从那时起，他和他的家人就一直住在临时住所。青少年保护部（DPJ）也开始发挥作用来保护孩子们。家人探望过，但现在拒绝谈论此案。

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.

受害人抱怨嫌疑人被保释。为了保护家人，他不得不花光积蓄。犯罪学家克洛伊·勒克莱尔 (Chloé Leclerc) 表示，法院的判决让她感到惊讶，因为她承认软禁是有限制性的，但仍然对这一判决有疑问。
