South Korean police are investigating the disappearance of 22 Bitcoin tokens, valued at approximately 21 billion Korean Won (about $15.4 million USD), from evidence held by the Gangnam Police Station. These digital assets were voluntarily submitted as evidence in a 2021 investigation. Authorities confirmed that the physical cold storage device was not breached, but the assets were internally transferred. An investigation into the internal access and potential involvement of personnel is underway. The incident came to light during a nationwide audit following a separate case involving the theft of 320 Bitcoin from the Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office.
