🟥 UNBELIEVABLE BUT TRUE 🟥
#SouthKoreaSeizedBTCLoss | $BTC

💥 STATE-HELD BITCOIN — WIPED OUT 💥
Around ₩70 billion (≈ $48M) in seized Bitcoin has disappeared from South Korean government custody. Yes — this wasn’t a trader, an exchange, or a DeFi protocol. This was the state.
🧾 How it unfolded
During a routine check of confiscated crypto, the Gwangju District Prosecutors’ Office realized the BTC was gone. Investigators now believe a phishing trap was triggered when an official interacted with a fraudulent website while managing keys stored on a USB-style device.
📌 Key facts at a glance
🔻 Amount lost: ~500+ BTC
🔻 Storage: Hardware wallet / USB device
🔻 Failure point: Human interaction, not blockchain tech
🔻 Source of funds: Criminal seizures
🪞 The uncomfortable takeaway
These coins were taken from criminals — and lost to another kind of criminal.
If institutional custody can fail this easily, the risk conversation shifts from technology to execution.
🛡️ Practical lessons for everyone
🟠 Assume every link is hostile
🟠 Cold storage still requires strict operational discipline
🟠 No legitimate service will ever ask for private keys or seed phrases
💬 Open floor
Is this proof that governments still aren’t operationally ready for digital assets?
Or simply a reminder that human error is universal?
And one more tough question:
Does this push you toward trusted exchanges, or reinforce the case for better self-custody practices?
