It took me like 2 months to cash out the first time.
Seriously, I don't think this will scare off anyone, especially not exchanges. They make so much money right now they can just hire bodyguards.
Which won't be able to carry weapons in most places. You'll have a hard time finding people who'll fight back when you're being kidnapped at gunpoint.
I imagine its quite easy to find mercenaries that are willing to fight back. There is an entire industry for hiring people to fight wars.
Bill Browder can't eat at the same restaurant twice because his food may be poisoned. If you are a high profile target you have to change your patterns to remain safe.
Okay, now the kidnappers dress up as cops and "arrest" you. Perhaps they bribe the actual cops to do it for them?
Armed bodyguards do not seem like a substantial increase in difficulty for someone who intends to kidnap a person.
Most places? Places like what? Even Germany, with its rather restrictive gun laws, has exemptions for private security companies allowing to carry weapons.
While I don't know any specifics, I doubt that it's gonna be that much more difficult, in Eastern Europe out of all places, to get a legal carry permit.

I met an old school mate years ago she was working as a PA for deutsche bank in the uk and she mentioned that the senior mangers where annoyed as the UK would not allow them to have armed body guards.
