A French criminal court in La Roche-sur-Yon sentenced a 23-year-old cryptocurrency holder to two years and six months in prison after he fired a Glock handgun at masked intruders during an attempted break-in at his home on October 31. The court found the intruders had already left the scene when he shot, and prosecutors argued the gunfire was retaliatory rather than self-defense. The defendant testified he panicked and fired to drive the intruders away, with Wu Blockchain reporting that bullets nearly struck children nearby during Halloween. The case highlights legal risk beyond market exposure for crypto holders, particularly in France, where self-custody investors have increasingly faced home-invasion attempts. Watch for any appeal and for how the ruling shapes expectations around armed self-defense for digital-asset owners.
