Ex-NCA Officer Found Guilty: Stole Bitcoin in Brazen Crypto Heist

Another day, another 'trusted' insider betraying the system—this time with a digital twist. A former National Crime Agency officer just got convicted for swiping Bitcoin, proving even the watchdogs can't resist crypto's siren song.

Law enforcement meets lawbreaker

The irony's thicker than a Bitcoin blockchain: an ex-cop turned crypto thief. While regulators keep wringing their hands over 'volatile' digital assets, it's the old-school human greed that keeps causing the real crashes.

When the hunter becomes the prey

The case exposes the dirty secret of crypto crime—sometimes the biggest threats come from within the very institutions meant to protect us. Maybe the SEC should start background checking its own auditors while they're at it.

Closing thought: If this doesn't make Wall Street bankers feel slightly better about their 2008 track record, nothing will. At least their theft was denominated in good ol' fashioned dollars.
