⚡️🇰🇷👮‍♂️ STORY - In South Korea, the tax authorities seized the equivalent of $4.8 million in cryptocurrency.
Except that, to celebrate their success, they posted a photo of the wallet and its seed phrase.
The funds were immediately stolen...

On February 26, 2026, the tax authority proudly presented its seizures from taxpayers in debt.
In an official photograph, the agents revealed the 24 words needed to access the crypto wallet.

An internet user used this information to transfer four million PRTG tokens to his own address.

But the man eventually turned himself in, claiming he had acted out of curiosity, and returned the cryptocurrency.

The authorities then believed they had recovered their loot. Except that they left the funds in the same compromised wallet...
Two and a half hours later, another individual stole them again.
