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.
Speaking from his hospital bed in New York, entrepreneur Jamaux told DailyMail.com: 'Given the fact he was waiting there when we arrived and also the violence of the crime, I believe he followed me.

He should change his name to Alexander Dumass.
Democrat held territory
I don’t quite get the purpose of wearing a half million dollar wristwatch in a Democrat hellhole. If one wears such things to get attention - he got it!
Why would you wear a half a million dollar watch out in NYC?
Well, the chicklet is certainly Not Guilty.
He can wear whatever watch he wants, for sure.
But if he hadn’t worn a $450,000 watch, pretty sure this would not have occurred. To go to all the effort to target him just for this.
I’d also be worried about any personal staff he has, giving out info inside job smells here.
Obviously reads only LIBERAL rags!!
What’s the annual production volume of that watch?
Who keeps the spare parts?
Warranty work?
Was it made by Dick Tracy or something?
He got ripped off on those cloths ,LOL
Who the freak struts around NYC wearing a half million dollar watch?
Yeah, I know we’re supposed to be upset about the crime and everything, but ...... a $450,000 watch?
When a pair of jeans start ripping, they are soon discarded.
Yeah, watches like that are only to be worn in places like Dubai or Singapore - where thieves still stand a better-than-even chance of being shot in the head by police before having their rights read to them. :)
Could he have spent a little less on a watch and a little more on a pair of pants?
Was it a storm trooper who shot at him a point blank range?
I guess the thief also stole some of his clothes since he’s wearing his wife’s shirt and some old ripped pants.
I don't know.....it brings to mind the Joe Tex song "Skinny Legs and All."
LOL
but he sure looked cool, for awhile...

Don’t forget to include the girlfriend in #5 as a suspect.
