> A wealthy Chinese businessman who was kidnapped at gunpoint from a prestigious UK golf course was threatened with a knife, beaten, and held in a cage for over 30 hours by a crypto ransom gang demanding $15 million in bitcoin, UK prosecutors allege. As reported by the BBC, Dylan Huang was golfing at Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire in October 2023 when five individuals allegedly ambushed him and forced him into a car. Prosecutors say the gang then bound Huang and drove him to a property in Surrey where he was caged, blindfolded, and had his mouth taped shut. It’s claimed that the gang demanded millions of dollars in bitcoin and that Huang offered to sell his stocks and shares to the gang while also attempting to source various loans from his friends.
