A 33-year-old French cryptocurrency expert who was shot at point-blank range by a robber trying to steal his $450,000 Richard Mille watch says he believes he was targeted and followed for hours or days before being ambushed outside his Manhattan hotel.
Pierrick Jamaux told DailyMail.com he is shocked by how dangerous the city has become and would never have visited had he known how much it had changed since he lived there 10 years ago.
The entrepreneur, who was visiting from Hong Kong with his Australian model wife, Sarah Watts, 26, was getting out of an Uber at the Fifty Hotel and Suites in Midtown when he was shot five times on March 18.

“He didn’t realize how dangerous New York was? He should change his name to Alexander Dumass.”
How many AMERICANS even know how bad our cities got in only 10 years? We have the Daily Mail, who at least reports on it. Very few others read it.
She likes the bulge in his wallet.
Only a douche would wear a half million dollar watch.
See, that’s why I only wear watches worth $440,000. đ
Why would anyone spend $450k on a wrist watch?
I think this story changes. I am not sure how thieves know about his watch. I am not sure why they don’t just grab 3 people hold him down and take his watch. Not sure why you shoot someone right out in the open in front of the hotel. I think something else is up. And its a very average hotel. I am just thinking there is more to this story.
My guess is that he cheated someone out of bitcoins and they got mad.
LA and NYC will soon make it illegal to carry more than $100 cash and wear jewelry worth more than $100.
Itâs a âmicro aggressionâ.
It has a button that attracts tall long-legged brunettes.
He looks homeless.
Well no one is going to shoot him to take those pants or shoes, though they might shoot him for wearing them.
A severed femoral artery! Ha ha ha!
Dumb ass felt unsafe walking around a few nights earlier but still went out wearing a $450k watch. And what kind of an asshole buys a watch for $150k?
He seduced the victim (what we would call a criminal) with his fancy display of supremacy. /s
My pastor was recently excoriated online for allegedly wearing a $400 watch.
He wears a $12 Casio he got at Target.
Made me feel guilty about the $175 Citizen I got at Costco.
Iâm pretty certain he posted something on Twitter about his watch before this happened. Itâs like wearing a sign that says, âshoot me, Iâm stupidâ.
To do so is just asking for trouble.
These are the people who will not survive a break down of the system.
Their half mill watch will be worthless.
“Skinny Legs and All.”
Nobody is that thin by nature; one suspects Peruvian Marching Powder is the source.
$450,000 for a damn watch THIS IS INSANITY!!!
