Damn, I read that Roman Novak, that guy who had already scammed investors with crypto and was in jail before, well he and his wife were kidnapped and then killed in the Emirates. Completely crazy.

So the thing is, Novak had run off to Dubai after his conviction in 2020, and he restarted the game with a new crypto app, Fintopio. Raising hundreds of millions from new investors. In October, the couple showed up at what looked like an investor meeting near Hatta, and after... nothing more. Disappeared.

Investigators believe that Roman Novak and his wife were lured into a villa under false pretenses. It wasn't a business meeting, it was a trap to kidnap them. The kidnappers wanted crypto linked to his fraudulent schemes. But apparently the ransom demands failed, and the couple was killed. Dark story.
