Binance helps solve a kidnapping case that may be a child kidnapping case in Tseung Kwan O shopping mall

Just last month, on July 3, a shocking cryptocurrency kidnapping occurred in Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong.

A 3-year-old boy was taken away with a towel covering his mouth at Tseung Kwan O Plaza shopping mall.

The kidnappers then extorted 660,000 USDT from the child’s parents.

The suspect in the case was subsequently arrested by the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) within one day.

Binance received a letter of thanks from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) this time, which may be due to the police’s response to the child kidnapping case.
