Australian billionaire Tim Heath survived a kidnapping attempt by fighting off his alleged abductors who had pretended to be tradies painting the hallway of his apartment building.
Victorian billionaire Tim Heath has survived a planned kidnapping attempt in Estonia , where he has been living since the early 2000s.
Mr Heath has made his wealth through launching betting platforms and online casinos that accept cryptocurrency. Mr Jõgi said suspects had been plotting for months before pulling up in front of Mr Heath's old town apartment in a rented van, disguised as painters. Mr Jõgi confirmed the suspects had visited a DIY store twice before the attempted kidnapping and booked a sauna in the small village of Voose, an hour's drive from the capital.)
"They didn't elaborate, just said it was a serious crime against a person or something like that, and wanted to see the CCTV footage," he said. "The cleaner also said the house was in great condition and that the sauna had not been used at all."
