Gwangju District Prosecutors Office in South Korea will sell 320.8 Bitcoins, with the proceeds of 31.6 billion Korean Won (approximately $21.5 million USD) deposited into the national treasury. The Bitcoins were originally confiscated after a crackdown on an illegal gambling platform, stolen in August 2025 due to a phishing attack on officials, and voluntarily returned by the hacker in February this year. The prosecution then sold the assets in batches over 11 days (from February 24 to March 6). The hacker remains at large, and the investigation is ongoing. (The Block)
