🚨💰Officer Gone Rogue: How a UK Cop Stole Millions in Bitcoin (and Got Busted!)
A former UK National Crime Agency officer, Paul Chowles, learned the hard way that the blockchain never forgets! He secretly siphoned off 50 Bitcoin (worth a fortune today!) from a seized crypto wallet during a dark web investigation. His attempts to cover his tracks with mixing services ultimately failed thanks to sharp blockchain analysis. When the original owner noticed the missing funds after his release, the jig was up. Internal investigations and digital forensics on Chowles' devices sealed his fate, leading to a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence. Crime doesn't pay, especially when it involves immutable ledgers!
