EXCLUSIVE: 'New York isn't safe for anyone': Crypto expert, 33, reveals he was shot FIVE times by robber who tried to steal his $450,000 Richard Mille watch after Manhattan hotel ambush
|
|
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.
|
|
'I believe they found me somewhere, then they tracked me for a few hours or days to figure out what I do, where I go. I think it was organized.'
|
|
He believes the armed robber researched the watch he was wearing, which is worth an eye-watering $450,000, before launching his attack.
|
|
He added: 'It cannot be a coincidence because it happened between the Uber and the door of the hotel - there is two meters of distance. The guy was waiting for me there is no doubt about it.
|
|
'He started shooting me even before I understood he wanted my watch and from then I was just pushing the gun down and he kept shooting my legs, it was crazy.
|
|
'I know he shot five times but I think some of them went through both legs. Three of them are point-blank shooting. I have a lot of bullet holes.'
|
|
A 25-year-old female friend of the couple jumped on the robber's back and began to choke him.
|
|
'She is one of my really good friends, she is fiery,' Jamaux joked, adding that she'd had a few drinks. 'She jumped on his back and she did a triangle-like choke like in MMA.'
|
|
The bullets shattered his femur bone and severed his femoral artery, and he quickly passed out in the street as he began to bleed out.
|
|
The suspect was unable to wrangle the pricey watch from Jamaux's wrist because its bracelet security mechanism. It is not clear whether the watch came with the feature or it was added.
|
|
The attempted robber got away with a female accomplice in a black four door sedan BMW, the NYPD says.
|
|
Miraculously, Jamaux survived the shooting, and credits New York hospitals' experience with tackling shootings for his recovery.
|
|
Jamaux has since undergone six surgeries but predicts he won't be leaving hospital anytime soon.
|
|
'They hit my femoral artery - it's something where you usually die in 5 minutes - it was a major surgery to save my life,' he said. 'If you are going to get shot, the US is the best place to survive a gunshot wound.
|
|
'I feel like the doctors really know what they are doing. I think they unfortunately have a lot of practice.
|
|
'I was surprised when I talked to one of the doctors here. I said "does it happen often?" and he was like "yes" without hesitation.'
|
|
Jamaux lived in New York for a year about a decade ago and said the city felt safe at the time. Often on his business trips, he hires a bodyguard, but didn't know he would need one in the Big Apple.
|
|
'Because I thought New York was safe, I did not think I needed any security in New York,' he explained. 'A few days before the shooting we walked for one block around midnight and I did not feel safe at all.
|
|
'If I knew New York had changed like that, I would never have come here. I probably would have diverted my business trip and stayed in Europe.
|
|
'You don't need to be a genius to realize New York is very very dangerous right now. I don't think it's safe for anyone. There are too many people who have nothing to lose.'
|
|
Jamaux works in Hong Kong for Hi, an online banking planform dealing in cryptocurrency, savings and investments.
|
|
The entrepreneur has also worked in Paris, where he hails from, New York City and London before he settled in Hong Kong to work with the cryptocurrency company in 2019.
|
|
Jamaux was sporting a Richard Mille watch when the attack took place. The watches cost on average, $200,000, with some designs fetching for as much as $1.3 million.
|
|
Jamaux bought his for $150,000 in 2020 as an investment, and now it is now worth a cool $450,000.
|
|
He was staying at the Fifty Hotel and Suites on 155 E 50th St where rooms range in price from around $350 to $1,000 per night.
|
|
The attempted robbery comes amid a dangerous crime wave in the once-safe city. In February there was a 60 percent spike in incidents when compared to the same period last year.
|
|
The city's latest crime figures show there were 9,138 incidents last month, as opposed to 5,759 in February 2021 - with double-digit surges in nearly every major category.
|
|
There were 32 murders in February - three more than the same month last year.
|
|
Multiple other categories saw spikes, including car theft, which soared by nearly 105 percent; grand larceny, which jumped nearly 80 percent over the previous year; robberies, which surged 56 percent; a 44 percent bump in burglaries and a 22 percent spike in assaults. Rapes also saw a terrifying 35 percent rise.
|
|
Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday said the spike in crime across New York City has made the Big Apple a 'laughingstock' in need of a 'wartime general' to tackle the ongoing problem.
|
|
Adams, speaking at the annual NYPD Holy Name Society communion Mass and breakfast, condemned the lawlessness throughout the city.
|
|
He blamed petty crime and homelessness as contributing factors to the widespread 'dysfunction.'
|
|
'Anything goes in the City of New York,' Adams said. 'The most important city on the globe has become the laughingstock of the globe. And the dysfunctionality of our city has cascaded throughout the entire country.'
