TechFlow News: On February 16, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, South Korea, confirmed that 22 bitcoins—valued at approximately 2.1 billion Korean won at current market rates—were stolen from assets seized during its 2021 investigation. According to reports, the “cold wallet” device storing these bitcoins remains intact, but the assets within it have been transferred. The incident was uncovered during a nationwide virtual asset security inspection conducted by law enforcement agencies; previously, the Gwangju District Prosecutors’ Office had also lost 320 bitcoins. South Korean police have launched an investigation into the matter, focusing specifically on the exact method of leakage and whether any internal personnel were involved.
