Caught on camera: Daughter of crypto boss fights off Paris kidnappers

The victims’ screams eventually attracted passers-by and a resident threw a fire extinguisher at the masked men, who then fled in the vehicle.
The van was found a few hundred metres away on Rue Saint-Maur. The three victims were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The anti-crime unit of Paris’ judicial police has been called in to investigate.
According to initial findings, the woman and her son are the daughter and grandson of Pierre Noizat, the chief executive and co-founder of Paymium, a French cryptocurrency exchange platform founded in 2011 that describes itself as a European pioneer in Bitcoin trading.
