The South Korean prosecution lost a large amount of seized Bitcoin, with losses possibly reaching 48 million dollars

According to Ohmynews, the Gwangju District Prosecutor's Office in South Korea recently discovered a significant amount of Bitcoin related to criminal cases missing during a routine inspection of seized assets, with estimated losses reaching hundreds of billions of Korean won (reports mention internal rumors of about 70 billion won, or approximately 48 million USD).

It is reported that the prosecution stored Bitcoin-related passwords and other information on mobile storage devices, and the loss may have occurred during the inspection due to accidental access to a so-called "fraud website." The official response from the Gwangju District Prosecutor's Office regarding this matter is "unable to confirm." An internal investigation has been initiated by the prosecution regarding this incident.
