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.
