By Makana Eyre, Phineas Rueckert Verified| AIR MAIL Verified On a drizzly Wednesday in March, Swiss police arrested a man standing alone at a Bitcoin A.T.M. near Geneva Airport, ending a nearly year-long manhunt. Hours earlier, the 61-year-old had reportedly bought a one-way ticket to Dubai. All that was left was to convert a supposedly large crypto-currency ransom he’d wrangled into cash. Then, presumably, he would vanish—leaving behind what federal authorities describe as a campaign of violence that had quietly terrorized Geneva.

The parade of vehicles had inched its way from the south of France to the capital city, plowing along despite the oppressive summer heat. At each stop along the way, the former military men leading the movement projected a short film for curious onlookers.
