A South Korean woman, aged 32, was given a suspended jail sentence for stealing her ex-husband's $1.3 million #cryptocurrency stash following the end of their common-law marriage. She accessed his wallet through a desktop PC at his home in Gangnam, Seoul, transferring the funds to a mobile phone wallet on the same day their relationship ended. The court found her guilty of violating laws related to information and communication networks and economic crimes, stating that she exploited her former partner's trust to steal his property. However, citing mitigating circumstances, the judge suspended her 18-month prison sentence for two years. The stolen coins were confiscated and returned to the ex-partner. This incident is one among several cases involving individuals in South Korea involved in embezzling public funds for cryptocurrency investments.
