Brazilian cops just pulled off the biggest self-custody wallet seizure in the country's history - $1.7M in crypto from a phishing operation in Santa Catarina.
This is wild. They actually cracked self-custody wallets. Not exchange accounts. Not custodial services. Self-custody.
Either these scammers had terrible opsec or Brazilian law enforcement just leveled up their crypto forensics game hard.
Reminder: Your seed phrase is everything. One slip, one screenshot, one cloud backup and it's over. These phishers learned that the hard way.
The bar for crypto enforcement is rising globally. If you're running any gray area ops, the heat is real.
