A trader got kidnapped, Kidnappers demanded $340,000/-
Pakistani cryptocurrency trader Mohammed Arsalan was kidnapped in Karachi's Manghopir area on December 25, 2024. The abductors, impersonating police officers, forced him to transfer $340,000 worth of digital assets through his Binance account before releasing him near the Brigade police station.
Following his release, Arsalan filed a First Information Report (FIR) with the Manghopir police. The investigation, led by the Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC) and the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA), resulted in the arrest of seven suspects, including individuals identified as Ashar, Mohammed Rizwan Shah, Umer Irshad, Muzamil Raza, Tariq Hasan Shah, Noman Riffat, and Umer Jilani. Notably, a Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) officer was among those apprehended, while another police officer remains at large.
Inspector General of Police Ghulam Nabi Memon emphasized the department's commitment to addressing such crimes, stating that any officers involved would face strict disciplinary action, potentially including dismissal from service.
This incident highlights the risks associated with face-to-face cryptocurrency transactions and underscores the importance of exercising caution in such dealings.
#NFPCryptoImpact ok very interesting. now this will depend on the next government and its expectations. because Trump is quite controversial and sometimes he says more than he does, more shows than anything else.
$BTC Everything points to uncertainty about the measures that Trump may take. But all that will be seen after that. What will Trump do with the tariffs! What decisions will he make? We will see then 😜

#BTCOutlook For those of us who entered this late, it's an odyssey to know how, when, and where to invest. It's not easy to start, and without knowledge, more , I tell you from experience, I feel more lost 😃. But moving forward. Accepting your help in this trading thing.
This is important to know! Let me share my personal experience. Back in the Hamster Combat days (when it was all the rage, heh), I received an NFT in my wallet with a message claiming I’d be one of the first to receive a large number of tokens. Experienced players probably already know what this is about, but at the time, I didn’t, so I decided to visit the website and connect my wallet (which had about $2000 in it).
I connected my wallet, blindly confirmed the transaction, and within a minute, all my assets were completely wiped out. Foolishly, I hoped I could fix the situation. I reached out to the wallet’s support team, but they didn’t even respond.
For some, this might sound like a funny story, but at the time, I lost a significant portion of my crypto holdings due to my own carelessness.
Please, always double-check information! It’s better to verify multiple times than to lose everything.
$BTC many talk about a possible drop in Bitcoin, now what will be the main reason for this event, the interest rates of the United States? The war? Or some other economic reason related to global markets?! I ask the experts in this group.
#MarketPullback estimates I am new to this cryptocurrency thing, but I think Bitcoin could pass 100,000 again. What do you all think?😔😛 Another thing #USUAL has maintained a good price and has had a high capitalization.
Let’s clear up any confusion surrounding $USUAL. Binance is not listing $USUAL as a brand-new token—it is already available under the “Pre-Market” tag. The upcoming change is simply a rebranding of the “Pre-Market” tag to “Seed”, and $USUAL will soon be moved to the Spot Trading list. This means that the coin will be open for trading globally, making it accessible to a larger audience. Importantly, Binance will not introduce a new price for $U$USUAL ring this transition. The current price of the coin remains unchanged. However, with the move to Spot Trading and increased visibility, there is a strong likelihood that demand will rise as more traders enter the market, which could potentially drive the price upward. In summary, getting relisted with a new price—it's simply transitioning from Pre-Market to Spot, making it easier for everyone worldwide to trade.
