A French encryption practitioner was robbed at gunpoint and the suspect has been arrested by police

According to DLNews, a 40-year-old crypto industry practitioner was robbed at gunpoint at home in Saint-Jean-de-Védas, near Montpellier, France. After the suspect disguised as a courier entered the room, he asked the victim to hand over the private key of the encrypted wallet; the victim took advantage of his distraction to throw him down and seize the pistol. Gunshots were heard at the scene, but no one was injured. The suspect then fled and police arrested him after a three-day chase. The local court has charged him with attempted armed robbery, and prosecutors say he may have been instigated by the mastermind.
