Danylo Kuzmin, the 21-year-old son of Kharkiv’s deputy mayor, was murdered in Vienna over his cryptocurrency market assets. Austrian police say the motive was financial, with two Ukrainian suspects detained in Ukraine under an international warrant. The suspects allegedly kidnapped and tortured Kuzmin before fleeing. The stolen crypto remains untraceable on-chain. Analysts warn of rising threats to individuals with large crypto market holdings in Eastern Europe, urging stronger security and cross-border law enforcement efforts.
