South Korean Woman Sentenced for Stealing $488,000 in Crypto from Boyfriend
In a shocking case, a South Korean woman in her 40s was sentenced to two years in prison after stealing nearly $500,000 in cryptocurrency — directly from her boyfriend’s wallet while he was asleep.
She secretly transferred around $488,000 worth of crypto into her own account. Though she later returned most of the funds, the court handed down a strict sentence due to her prior fraud history.
Key Takeaway:
Crypto theft isn’t just a headline — it’s a real risk. This case is a powerful reminder:
Protect your wallet keys
Use secure devices
Be careful who you trust
Crypto offers opportunity, but without proper security, it also opens the door to serious loss.
