320 BTC vanished — no hackers, no exploits, no warning.
This sounds like a Netflix thriller… but it’s 100% real.
🇰🇷 Inside South Korea’s judicial system, a jaw-dropping failure unfolded:
• Police originally seized 1,800 BTC
• Due to transaction limits, transfers were done in batches
• 1,400+ BTC were stolen during the process — never recovered
• The last 320 BTC were labeled “safe assets”
Stored carefully in a USB cold wallet
Handed to the Gwangju District Prosecutor’s Office
Supposed to be untouchable ❄️
➡️ Fast forward to a “routine inspection”
And suddenly… the 320 BTC are GONE.
No cyberattack.
No blockchain bug.
No on-chain exploit.
Just humans doing human things.
🕳️ Internal theories include:
Someone clicked a phishing link
Private keys were exposed
Possible inside job
Prosecutor’s PC may have had malware
Translation?
🔓 The cold wallet wasn’t hacked — the door was opened from inside.
💰 Damage so far:
• ~70 billion KRW
• ≈ 370 million CNY
• Exact amount still “under investigation”
🧑‍⚖️ Official response to media?
“We cannot confirm this matter.”
Yes — even the authorities don’t know where the Bitcoin went.
⚠️ Let this sink in:
No hackers touched the wallet
No flaw in Bitcoin
No blockchain failure
Just a routine inspection
Just one wrong click
💥 Result: Hundreds of Bitcoins erased.
🧠 Final takeaway:
Bitcoin didn’t fail.
The blockchain didn’t fail.
People. Systems. Operational security failed.
💀 This isn’t a crypto joke.
This is a real-world, multi-million-dollar lesson in misoperation.
Stay safe. Stay paranoid. 🔐
