Tiktok
Crypto
Influencer
No money

Yep checks out. Figured the kidnappers would have implied the last point from the first three but... 🤡

Plot twist: he had a correctly implemented duress wallet.

If I was a kidnapper, I would just go after people with visible wealth because their families can just buy crypto with it.
