Badiss Mohamed Amide B.

Badiss Mohamed Amide B. is a 24-year-old Franco-Moroccan individual suspected of orchestrating multiple kidnappings of entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency sector. He was recently arrested in Morocco following a coordinated effort between French and Moroccan authorities, particularly driven by French Minister Bruno Retailleau's push to address the alarming rise of violence and kidnappings targeting crypto professionals. Badiss is notably linked to the kidnapping of David Balland, co-founder of the French company Ledger, and is wanted under international arrest warrants for serious crimes including sequestration and attempted homicide.
