Crypto Investor Bodyguard in London — The Wrench-Attack Era
The short version: Crypto Investor Bodyguard in London — The Wrench-Attack Era — 2026-rated SIA cover, insured. short-notice cover, subject to availability in London, nationwide by arrangement.
'Wrench attacks' — physical coercion to extract seed phrases — are now a documented threat against crypto principals. London hosts more crypto wealth per square mile than anywhere outside Dubai, and the security model has not caught up.
Threat Model in 2026
Documented incidents in London, Paris and Dubai involve home invasion, brief abduction and coerced wallet transfer. Wallet structure (multisig, time-locked) helps, but physical mitigation is the missing layer for most founders.
Residential Hardening
Door, alarm, panic-room route, neighbour familiarisation. Quiet upgrade — no obvious target signalling. Concierge-block residences (One Hyde Park, NEO Bankside) reviewed for the specific failure modes we have seen.
Movement & Conference Cover
Token2049, ETH London, private investor dinners. Discreet CPO at the table, vehicle pre-positioned, hotel return covered. Single point of contact with the founder for the full event.
Family & Staff Brief
Spouses and household staff briefed on social-engineering and tailgating attempts. Codeword for legitimate handover. Confidential reporting line.
Pricing — Crypto Founder Programme
Conference week (1 CPO + driver): priced per assignment. Founder + family residential programme: from a bespoke monthly retainer. Travel cover (per trip): bespoke.
