TLDR A 23-year-old man in Vendée, France, got 30 months in prison for firing a gun at attempted kidnappers. The prosecutor said the shot was revenge, not self-defense, because the attackers were already leaving. A bullet landed above a garage door just meters from trick-or-treating children. He was also banned from carrying a weapon for 15 years and from Vendée for five years. French authorities reported more than 70 crypto-related crimes by June. A court in La Roche-sur-Yon, France, has sentenced a 23-year-old man to 30 months in prison. The ruling came on Wednesday, November 4, after an expedited hearing.
