South Korean Police Lose Seized Crypto by Posting Password Online

Rumor has it that it was an inside job and they intentionally shared the photo online as an alibi.

About $5m if anyone was only interested in the rough amount.

why does the article say it would be difficult to liquidate those tokens instead of just posting the address so we can see what they did? I think this is a symptom of general ignorance and decade-plus-long aversion to understand crypto. Its a choice and it works extremely well for the person that now has custody. okay lets narrow it down, it mentions the token name - approximately 4 million Pre-Retogeum, or PRTG - so we can just look up that token on the network its deployed on, and look for large recent transactions Edit: I’m looking at this address now, based on receiving the 4,000,000 tokens 1,000+ days and sending them out 2 days ago https://etherscan.io/address/0x8efa52827c229c434fe9c915b2d99...
