A rather rare story in crypto: hacked, but the money ultimately returned to the state treasury. Prosecutors in South Korea have just sold 320.8 Bitcoin (~$21.5 million USD) after recovering the coins from a 2025 phishing attempt during an asset handover. To avoid causing market volatility, the BTC was sold gradually over 11 days (February 24–March 6). Interestingly, this amount of BTC Capital came from an illegal gambling bust between 2018 and 2021, was then stolen by hackers in August 2025… and then unexpectedly returned in early 2026. Final result: 320 $BTC into the national treasury. Crypto can be very chaotic at times — but this time the authorities won 1–0. #Crypto BTC BingX
