⚡️🇬🇧🇫🇷 NEW - Two crypto millionaires got kidnapped and tortured over a drug run in London.
The pair, both French and in their 20s, had driven from Kensington to east London to buy cannabis, and that's when three masked men with a gun and knife grabbed them and hauled them to a flat in Canning Town.
From there it turned into 52 hours of hell. A court heard they were cable-tied, beaten, burned with cigarettes, scalded with boiling water, and fed just one chicken wing between them, all while the gang demanded $150,000 in crypto.
One of them was freed after transferring $30,000, but the other says he was then "sold" to a second gang. The whole thing finally ended in a police chase hitting 70mph through residential streets, which wrapped up with the getaway car crashing into a lamp post.
Six men have now been convicted, though the ringleader ran it all by WhatsApp from overseas and is still out there.
And that's the ugly lesson underneath it. Carry life-changing money on a phone and you become a target for people who'll torture you for the password.
