A scammer losing $5M to tampered Ledger wallets isn't irony. It's the logical endpoint. Hardware custody demands trust in physical supply chains. You trust the seal. The factory. The shipper. Every hand in between. Security assumes an uncompromised journey from fabrication to palm. That assumption is provably false. If professional criminals can't vet their hardware, retail users have zero chance. The real exploit isn't the spy-chip. It's the belief that sealed means safe.
