To put pressure on them, the kidnappers cut off one of Balland's fingers and sent the video to another co-founder of Ledger. French police have rescued the two and a total of 10 suspects have been arrested. Part of the cryptocurrency ransom paid has been tracked and frozen. straitstimes.com/world/europe/k…
