22 Bitcoins Held by South Korean Police Go Missing, No One Held Accountable
According to the Chosun Ilbo, 22 bitcoins previously held by Seoul’s Gangnam Police Station during its investigation into a financial hacking case have gone missing—valued at approximately 2.2 billion Korean won at current market prices. The investigation revealed that the涉案 bitcoins were stored in an offline wallet held by the complainant, and individuals who knew the wallet’s mnemonic phrase subsequently restored it externally and cashed out the funds.
