Crypto investor Evan Luthra disclosed that five masked men kidnapped and assaulted him in Oxford, UK, in November 2025, forcing their way into his private vehicle and using Face ID to unlock his phone. Binance and MEXC later helped freeze and recover funds, with Binance returning roughly $370,000 and total recoveries approaching $1 million. Several suspects have been arrested, though the trial has been postponed to November 2027. The case highlights the physical-security risks facing large crypto holders and the growing role of exchange cooperation in clawing back stolen assets.
