News and Insights

On 6 November 2024, kidnappers in Toronto forced Dean Skurka into a vehicle during rush hour at a downtown intersection near the National Ballet of Canada. Kidnappers later released Skurka, the CEO of cryptocurrency firm WonderFi, after receiving a ransom of $720,660. Skurka emerged from the ordeal uninjured, but his plight illustrates the growing risk of harassment, extortion, and kidnapping that executives face, particularly for those who work in the digital asset sector.

Safety threats are not limited to executives in just one or a few industries. However, as digital assets have gained visibility in recent years, criminals increasingly view the sector as a ripe opportunity for ill-gotten financial gain. That means digital asset companies must reassess several protocols, ranging from their physical and digital security measures to when and how often executives surface in public settings, and even how often they use social media.

Martyn’s Law: the time to prepare is now

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, commonly known as Martyn’s Law, is now in effect. Following a long period of campaigning and advocacy, it achieved Royal Assent in April 2025, and it is now in its 24-month implementation phase. Businesses must be compliant by May 2027, or will likely face severe penalties for non-compliance.

The upcoming insurance renewal season between March and July represents a natural inflection point. It is when many businesses assess security measures, update their risk documentation, and evidence controls – all of which will be central to demonstrating compliance under Martyn’s Law. Therefore, addressing any gaps now is essential to ensure that businesses have enough time to strengthen preparedness before the law becomes enforceable.
