Investor reveals chilling details of his $2 million crypto kidnapping

Crypto investor Evan Luthra says he was kidnapped in England after a speech at Oxford University on Nov. 4, 2025, when his car was driven to five masked men. Police said the offenders took a watch worth about £450,000, phones, and forced a victim to transfer cryptocurrency valued at about £1.1 million; four men were arrested in Kent, London and Birmingham. Luthra credits blockchain traceability for the arrests and says Binance and MEXC helped recover some funds, while he advises against carrying crypto on phones and recommends security for public appearances.
