Ledger co-founder David Balland has been released by his kidnappers, who had demanded a large crypto ransom. He was kidnapped from his home in Cher, France, and held hostage at another location. The Paris prosecutor’s office stated that Balland was released on January 22 and is now receiving treatment. The national police force is working to identify and apprehend the alleged perpetrators, who could face life sentences. Rumors initially circulated that it was Balland’s co-founder, Eric Larchevêque, who had been kidnapped, but Larchevêque is reportedly safe. Investigations are ongoing, and it is not yet known if there are other victims still being held.
