Sleeping Boyfriend, Stolen Crypto: South Korean Woman Gets Jail Time for $500K Digital Heist
Sleeping Boyfriend, Stolen Crypto: South Korean Woman Gets Jail Time for $500K Digital Heist

Another day, another crypto crime—this time with a side of betrayal. A South Korean woman just landed in prison after swiping $500,000 worth of digital assets from her unsuspecting (and asleep) boyfriend. Who needs hackers when you’ve got pillow talk?
Active verbs only? She didn’t ’transfer’ the funds—she drained them. No ’enabling’ here, just cold, hard theft. And let’s be real: if this were traditional finance, the banks would’ve charged her a fee for the privilege.
Closing thought: Love might be blind, but crypto wallets shouldn’t be. Enable 2FA, folks—even for your significant other.
