Spain dismantles a pirated comic website, seizing crypto cold wallets involving 400,000 euros
According to Odaily, Spanish local police, during an operation to crack down on illegal comic distribution platforms, seized two cryptocurrency cold wallets containing approximately 400,000 euros (about 467,000 US dollars) in assets. The operation was carried out by the Almería police and resulted in the arrest of three suspects as well as the dismantling of what is said to be the country's largest Spanish-language pirated comic website. Reportedly, this platform had provided free pirated content since 2014 and mainly profited through advertising, with a total income exceeding 4 million euros over the past ten years. Notably, the cold wallets involved in the case were hidden inside a thermometer in a wall. The police have not yet disclosed whether they have obtained the relevant private keys or access to the funds. (Cointelegraph)
