South Korean star Hwang Jung-eum just wrote the worst crypto investment playbook ever: embezzle millions, buy the dip, get caught. The K-drama actress allegedly funneled company funds into digital assets—because nothing says ’financial literacy’ like committing fraud to chase volatile markets.
Legal experts predict a brutal reckoning as prosecutors trace the transactions. Meanwhile, crypto Twitter can’t decide what’s more embarrassing—the crime itself or the fact she probably bought at ATH.
Another cautionary tale for the ’number go up’ crowd. At least traditional finance thieves have the decency to launder through real estate.
