TikTok crypto trader freed after kidnappers realized he’s broke

[JoyMarsha]

France is turning to something else. The country is becoming unsafe for crypto users because there has been an increase in kidnapping cases. If the government doesn't take drastic actions many crypto businesses might consider leaving the country.

These kidnappers thought that since the crypto influencer has about 40,000 followers on TikTok, he was rich. It is also possible that this crypto tiktoker might be showcasing wealth on social media just to gain more followers. He should be thankful that he was released, he would have been greatly harmed or even killed

Sadly, all these kidnapping cases about crypto happening in France, most people don't want to learn from it that France has become an unsafe ground for someone to show off their crypto wealth on social media and expect they can walk freely without being kidnapped.

This is a lesson to learn that no matter where you live, those who have evil intentions towards you about your crypto assets you showcase online can reach you if they want. The government of your country can't help you out of it.

I think this is the end of the TikTok trader showing off his fake wealth on social media. The kidnappers would warn him though, not to try such a thing again. Deceiving people he makes a lot from trading while he doesn't

[Churchillvv]

What a shame after showing off so much money that trading have earn the tiktoker was found broke in the kidnap of course the kidnappers would be wondering if truly traders make the money they show off for real. Even though it's a bad act, it only have thought some lesson to those who are planing to be public figures in terms of crypto related activities on social media you should be the most reserved person and security consciousness is the almost priority.

However France, really lagging in terms of security for its people as attacks are always successful in France or is it that the security also has something to do with the insecurities? it's just scary for people who are going to be prominent there.

[Ojima-ojo]

Of course these social medial traders are broke. If they could make all that money tradin, which they btw promote, why would they waste time on social media? They would just scale out their "perfect trading method" and make millions. So yeah, just goes to show you, paying these fake douches on SM platforms is a scam and a waste of time

Do we have people paying those so called experts traders that flaunt they profits and wealth on social media, well such is life any ways since we have people that buy sure game odds despite the reality that there is nothing like that in gambling.


Those social media guys are all leaving the best of they fake life's, and shouldn't be taken seriously, unless for their risking their life's, since social media is the fastest means to expose yourself to your environment since you can be at the comfort of your how and post things and other worldwide can view and react to if.

I think traders are broke. This can be a lesson to people to avoid trading?

People don't need to avoid trading, but they need to have a real understanding of it. Trading does not make people rich; trading is just there to make some profit, and this profit is not something that can be easily obtained. It requires better learning to have a good understanding of trading.

If people can understand that trading is risky and unpredictable, then there is nothing wrong with going into trading if they are willing to learn and not just desperate and greedy to make money by all means.

Shame!  … That’s actually what fetches them more money.. the thing is most of them use their luxury lifestyles to attract desperate people into their dms.. Some do Know how to trade to some extent though while some just take advantage  of beginners, but they need some leverage don’t they.. yup ! that’s where the desperate individuals come in as leverage for them so they themselves barely trade as it could be risky..   and take far less risk compared to those that are desperate to make the profit through it , you can’t eliminate risk in trading but you can manage it (overall still risky  )

They're not actually wasting any of their time on social media many are there promoting trading for various reasons, as you know, one can also make money from creating content on social media and TikTok is a very good place for those trading content if you have qualified for TikTok monetization or trying to get monetized. Sometimes, from my experience and what I have noticed about all those promoters on TikTok, not all of the people that are there talking about trading are real traders, most of them are their for the affiliate marketing and making off the people that signed in via their links.

No more new that people in France know the value of bitcoin and crypto generally, this kidnapping also happened in France. The victim which was a Tictoker and a trader was kidnapped on Friday and he was released on Monday when they know the trader was a broke person.

Nope, not for people to avoid trading but, for people to actually realize that not every display a trader puts out there to show his fans how successful they are with their trading is actually true. Some of those could be them having to try out strategies on demo account and sample them like a live account to make you believe they are actually making it big in trading and follow them.
Some maybe copy trading from some place else to display on their account or even have to replay chats to simulate and play them like it was the real deal.

As much as you like to be motivated from what’s out there, be real with yourself and know that, you could loose it all.

I think the people know the person from Tiktok, that he is a trader and he should have money. Privacy is important if you are dealing with crypto. We have seen a YouTuber lady attacked and many other people who are publicly known.

It’s not possible for traders to be rich, and I don’t even believe all those people on social media calling themselves traders, most of the evidence of win which most of them show on social media are fake, they just see some other people’s win, and the decide to do some editing and they will post it as there own.

Also some traders might not really be trading with big amount of money, some might be trading with little amount of money, so whenever they will be making profits, then they might not really be making much profit. If we are into cryptocurrency, we have to be security conscious, we should be careful with places we go, and things we post on our social media.

[stadus]

This approach is good because it can confuse kidnappers about who really owns bitcoins. But for someone who holds a lot of crypto, it still puts their life in danger. It’s better to keep it a secret and just quietly enjoy what you have, you don’t want to risk getting kidnapped or, worse, losing your life over your bitcoins.

Also, the government needs to do something about this since it’s already alarming. We need some protection in the crypto industry. If we’re regulated and paying taxes, we should also benefit - at the very least, by getting protection from kidnappers.

I don't know how to react if its "Haha" or "Sad" react, **insert the pic choosing a button meme. Lol

On the other side, if you think about it, it's really dangerous sharing your personal information online, yes you can share that you trade, your lifestyle id its that's your content. But please don't share personal address, complete name, contact numbers on that platform, its's too dangerous.

No 1 lesson:
Not all traders are rich, most are broke but spend money in packaging and over promotion in order to get you in and feast on your money.

No 2 lesson:
Privacy is key, people do not attack what they do not know. Be private and have peace of mind.

No 3 Lesson:
People take everyone into crypto to be rich. Once you are a crypto guy, criminals think you are a millionaire. So, just be careful.

WTF.
I know the social media traders like to show off the money they make from trading. Sometimes they share fake screenshots to get more views and followers. Some of those traders even sell their signals. It's time for people to understand that if they could predict the market, they wouldn't be broke. They are losing money themself but selling the same signals to people and those people are losing too.

So, most of the traders on social media are just sharing their fake lifestyle to sell their courses and signals to average people. People should stay away from those scammers.

[Ishicryptic]

Anyone promoting their trades on social media are usually trying to pump their bags or sell some sort of a product. Someone who actually has wealth shouldn't be posting on social media and if so, are posing a risk to their safety. I would hope that after all of the kidnapping and incidents stemming from publicizing wealth, that people with bitcoin/crypto wealth aren't doing that.

I see a lot of these guys on YouTube, telling how newbies can make so much money on trading, in the end they really want is for you to sign up for some tutorial and I know that they are just hustling to make money off newbies. An experienced traders will tell you that trading is not a get rich quick scheme, it requires patience and experience to be profitable. I hope that this TikTok trader's experience with kidnappers will teach many people a lesson not to believe everything they see and hear on social media, some of them are fakes.

The rise of crypto related kidnaping is on the increase, crypto holders are no longer safe especially when they announce their crypto worth in the open, they will become targets of kidnappers. To avoid being victims we should avoid making our crypto worth public.

This sad event is not just happening in France but in the US:
Crypto investor charged in New York City for kidnapping, torture of Italian tourist, police say

It is the responsibility of the government to protect lives and properties, so they should seek means to end these attacks of crypto users. France is doing a good job by arresting so many suspects who are connected to these kidnapping cases. Just as you have mentioned, there is no need to keep showing fake wealth on social media because it is becoming counterproductive.

[_act_]

But please don't share personal address, complete name, contact numbers on that platform, its's too dangerous.

If the person is famous, knowing where he is living, his work place and the road he passes everyday will not be hard for people. Another thing is that the attackers can be from different place like different state but the informants may be the ones that invited them and told them about the person. Also the informants can be someone that is living in his street, his neighbor or someone that knows him very well.

And that's what we have suspected before, I mean this influencers are fake, they are just for the clicks an views and maybe to earn some few dollars. But behind it, there don't have any crypto at all.

He is lucky that he was freed by the kidnappers and he was not killed. Not to avoid trading per se, but those individuals who branded themselves as so called experts, but in the end, they know nothing about trading and doesn't have any profits.

You are damn right they are broke. It's so annoying something when you watch social media and you see a bunch of persons claiming to be expert traders in all levels and also asking people to join their service classes for fixed amount of cash which is really absurd seeing the kind of figures and numbers they claim they make on trading

Yes, almost every traders who is on social media claiming to be a good traders are broke. Many of them hardly even make a profit from trading. In fact, what they do is use the money they get from people who register under them to learn trading  is what many of them use to survive.But, there are still some traders who are rich, but someone will hardly see them on social media flaunting their wealth. They don’t always have the time to do things online because they are constantly analyzing business data and monitoring their trading accounts, so they hardly stay active on social media.

I don’t want to discourage anyone from trading, but the truth is that it’s not easy to make money from trading. That’s why most traders are broke. Only a few are rich, and even those few aren’t solely making money from trading. Many of them are involved in other businesses or investments, so they have multiple sources of income.another thing is that people hardly believe what they see online. Many traders are doing that just to attract people and scam them through trading. We should also stop showing off our wealth on social media.

With what happened, it’s clear they’re broke, so you really can’t trust their services. It actually makes sense to avoid them even before knowing they were broke, if they really had money, they wouldn’t be so focused on teaching others and charging fees. It’s basically taking advantage of people’s lack of knowledge, which is pretty much a scam.

This story just proves that if you want to succeed in trading, you should rely on yourself and not on tips from others.

Exactly. People need to understand that when a person is so active on social media, creating content and updating their followers about stuff they do or whatever, they are not actually making a lot of money from what they are doing, which is the sole reason why they are on social media because they are trying to become famous, and possibly start making money from content creation. That's the basic motto these influencers and content creators have. Thus, someone who is on social media posting stuff they are content creator and not whatever they are trying to promote, in most cases.

So, the basic reason behind people creating such content is for them to start making money from the content, just like how some people create paid signal groups to make people rich by charging them a monthly fee. I mean, why would you need to charge people $20 to give them signals that would make them rich when you can get rich yourself by using those signals instead of doing all this?

I don't think the primary reason is to be famous anymore. Maybe 10 years ago that could be argued, though now I think it is desperation. People of most ages are living in poverty around the world, and when poverty is abundant, so is desperation. When people are desperate, they do desperate things...such as claiming to be an expert or guru, and selling a product where others can "be like" them too.

Of course people make money from the content, but if you look closer, there is always a product being advertised or sold somewhere past the content.

It's a trend at the moment (Crypto/trading is just one of many things a part of the scheme). It seems that a lot of the young to middle age bracket are trying to heard the sheep around products that propose a solution that seems more attractive than the 9 - 5. "Buy this product and I will teach you X so that you can Y"...and while more often than not it is BS, they still leverage their identity to build trust. The person who got kidnapped mentioned in this post seems to be an example of when this scheme goes wrong.

If they are actually real-time crypto traders, they will not have much time to be very active on social media the way they do, as they will spend much of their time reading through charts and calculating their next steps and not posting and looking for people who will buy into their trading group.

Most of these traders are actually broke and make their wealth through those who believe in them and want to be like them, as they will either charge them for training or ask them to invest so that they can help them generate wealth.

If I have a lot of money, and I'm making a lot of money with it either through trading or anything in general, I wouldn't need to create social media accounts, have a YouTube channel, and keep telling everyone what I do and how much money I earn, etc, because that doesn't make any sense. I already have money, I will keep making money, and then spend the rest of my time enjoying my life instead of wasting it on creating content on social media.

I completely agree with all of these statements.
