So let me get this right....
With all the mess happening in Ukraine, a Russian guy runs an exchange there, with probably millions $ in BTC and he just takes strolls in the morning?
This sounds so unreal.
Funny that they used a Mercedes Benz but not an S-klasse, a Vito.
There's not much love between the Ukrainians and the Russians.
It may sound unreal but kidnappings happen around the world every day. Ukraine is one of the poorer European countries, people are looking for alternative income and crime provides that. Going after a Russian is a double win.
Vito has sliding door, easy to grab a person from the street and throw in. S class gets more attention and is harder to steal.
