According to Mars Finance, The Block reports that the Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office in South Korea sold 320.8 bitcoins, receiving 31.6 billion won (approximately US$21.5 million) which was turned over to the national treasury. The bitcoins were originally confiscated during a raid on an illegal gambling platform, but were stolen due to a phishing attack on officials. The hackers returned the stolen bitcoins in February. The prosecution then sold them in batches over 11 days (February 24 to March 6). The hackers are still at large, and the investigation is ongoing.
