Amsterdam Apple store hostage taker

Als yesterday, an unnamed 27-year-old entered the Apple Store on the Leidseplein in Amsterdam yesterday around 5.30 pm CET. He carried two firearms: an automatic rifle and a handgun.

He held the present clientele hostage, contacted the police and demanded 200 million euros in various cryptocoins. According to The Verge it remained unclear what coin or denomination he demanded.

During the ordeal, the man sent selfies and other photos to a local news outlet (AT5) that appeared to show him wearing a bomb vest. The police was able to end the siege a few hours later without anyone getting hurt.

We can only hope he doesn’t start a new rage of asking for cryptocoins during hostage situations. Sign of the times we guess.
