Just think about this case. I have zero idea of the details about this person. Let's assume he is "rich". Let's say, he's got assets worth 50 million euros. Let's say the kidnappers demanded 10,000 BTC from him. 10 million. How much does the State demand from him *every day and every year*? What happens to him if he refuses to pay? What happens to his assets? As I said, do not fall for the propaganda. The GIGN did not "rescue" him. They retrieved property, like the cattle slave masters in the cotton farms would retrieve a slave taken by another slave master, by force if necessary.

The fact of the matter though is that the criminal group that does the highest number of violent kidnappings, against we should all be the most concerned to get protection from, is the State. It's also the one with access to the most dangerous and powerful technology, and completely ruthless in using it against us. Do not get distracted with the anecdotal cases of non-State attacks.

*10,000 BTC is a lot more than 10 mil xD I didn't even do the math when I wrote this. You get the idea.
