Woman Kidnapped Saudi Royal, Stole $40,000 in Bitcoin—But Avoids Jail After men threatened to cut her date's fingers off, he transferred $40,000. But she got off with community service. A 24-year-old woman kidnapped a Saudi Arabian royal, with the help of three others, and forced him to pay $40,000 in Bitcoin after threatening to cut his fingers off. But, as reported by the Daily Mail, the perpetrator was not put behind bars—despite pleading guilty. Catherine Colivas faced a maximum sentence of 25 years at her Monday hearing in Victoria, Australia. She pleaded guilty to kidnapping, extortion, recklessly causing injury, theft and gun possession. However, she only received a community corrections order—essentially, Australia’s version of community service.
