An ex-FBI agent just pleaded guilty to stealing $2.47 million in crypto.
The wallets were tied to 35 investigations, so the coins were seized evidence, not retail funds (The Block).
Takeaway: custody risk isn't only hacks and exchanges. Seized-asset handling is a weak link too, and it lands in a week already heavy with security headlines for $BTC and $ETH holders.
What helps: self-custody for long-term holds, hardware wallets, and checking where your coins actually sit.
Which worries you more right now: exchange custody or self-custody mistakes?
