> the Japan-based cryptocurrency company DMM

I thought DMM was a much larger conglomerate of online services like gaming/shopping, that crypto is now apparently a part of since last I checked.

Look like they detected this after the fact, and the bitcoin has not been recovered.

This is over 1% of North Korea's annual GDP, for scale.

If the FBI is going to police crypto, we need to tax it. Otherwise, let their community figure it out.

Lots of people get scammed. Bitcoin scamming will only increase as it gains value.
