A major scandal has erupted in South Korea: a famous actress has been arrested for stealing over 3.1 million dollars from her colleagues on set. According to the Seoul police, the 30-year-old star, whose name is temporarily withheld, stole funds from the bank accounts of sponsors and partners to invest them in cryptocurrency. The incident occurred during the filming of a popular drama series, where the actress had access to financial documents.
According to the investigation, the criminal used fake checks and forged contracts to transfer money to her anonymous wallets. The obtained funds were immediately converted into bitcoin and other altcoins, hoping for quick profits in the volatile market. The police discovered transactions on exchanges such as Upbit and Binance, where the actress tried to cover her tracks using mixers. The total amount of losses is estimated at 4.2 billion Korean won (about 3.1 million USD).
This incident highlights the risks of cryptocurrency as a tool for money laundering. Cybersecurity experts note that such schemes are becoming increasingly common in Asia, where the crypto market is rapidly growing. The actress confessed to her actions, motivating her behavior with a 'desire for financial independence.' A trial is expected soon, and the victims are demanding full compensation.
The scandal has caused outrage in the entertainment industry and the crypto community, reminding everyone of the importance of KYC procedures on exchanges. This is yet another example of how cryptocurrency attracts not only investors but also criminals.
