โšก๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ NEW - The Seoul Police Department has launched an internal investigation following the unauthorized transfer of 22 Bitcoin seized in a 2021 case.

The BTC, worth approximately $1.5 million, was stored in a cold wallet at a Seoul police station.

The transfer was discovered during a national audit of seized cryptocurrencies, triggered by another case in which 320 BTC had disappeared from a prosecutor's office.

The physical cold wallet was never stolen; only the BTC were transferred to an unknown external wallet without authorization.

Authorities are investigating the possibility of internal complicity or a security breach.
