Five men have been convicted after two French crypto millionaires were ambushed in London and held in a flat for 52 hours, in what was described as a torture ordeal. The convictions were for false imprisonment, according to the case details provided.

Two of the five men were also found guilty of conspiracy to blackmail. The case drew attention not only because the victims were wealthy figures linked to cryptocurrency, but also because prosecutors secured convictions without either victim giving evidence in court.

Based on the available account, the men targeted the pair in London and kept them confined for more than two days. The case highlights the growing criminal risks surrounding people perceived to hold large amounts of digital assets, especially when attackers believe victims can be pressured for money or access.

Police were able to win the case despite the absence of testimony from the two victims. The outcome marks a significant development in a London crime case involving crypto wealth, false imprisonment and blackmail-related convictions.
