24-year-old Catherine Colivas, with the help of three accomplices, kidnapped a member of the Saudi Arabian royal family and threatened to cut off his fingers unless he paid 40,000 US dollars in Bitcoin. Although the perpetrator pleaded guilty, she was not sent to prison. Catherine Colivas faces up to 25 years in prison at a hearing in Victoria, Australia. She pleaded guilty to charges of kidnapping, extortion, reckless injury, theft, and firearms. However, she only received a community correction order, which is equivalent to community service in Australia.
