France stands out

The playbook:

> Track wallets + social media
> Find high-value targets
> Locate them
> Show up → threaten → force transfers

How to protect yourself:

> Don’t reveal wallet size
> Don't flex, and tell where are you going
> Don’t link identity to wallets
> Use multisig /time locks
> Use privacy swaps and transfers

Stay safe out there!
