ChainCatcher reports that Binance's French head was robbed at his home. Three masked assailants, armed with weapons, broke into an apartment building in Val-de-Marne, France, that morning, attempting to locate the residence of Binance's French head. The assailants first forced their way into another resident's home to obtain information about the target apartment, and then searched the cryptocurrency executive's residence. Finding the homeowner absent, they stole two mobile phones and fled the scene.
That same morning, the three suspects attacked another resident in Vaucluse, apparently mistaking him for another cryptocurrency entrepreneur. Police reportedly used surveillance footage and mobile phone signal tracking to eventually arrest the three suspects at Lyon's Perache train station; they are currently in custody for investigation.
