Golden Finance reported that 24-year-old Catherine Colivas, with the help of three accomplices, kidnapped a member of the Saudi royal family and threatened to cut off his fingers to force him to pay $40,000 in Bitcoin. Despite the defendant's guilty plea, she was not sent to prison. Catherine Colivas faces a maximum sentence of 25 years at a hearing in Victoria, Australia. She pleaded guilty to kidnapping, extortion, reckless injury, theft, and firearm charges. However, she only received a community correction order – equivalent to community service in Australia.
