> Around $700,000 of the stolen assets were frozen thanks to intervention by a security firm called ZeroShadow

This represents only a small portion of the stolen funds. But my understanding was that the holder of the keys owns the crypto. How can the funds get frozen?

It's unbelievable to me that someone managed to accumulate that much Bitcoin but fall for the most basic scam in the book. This makes me sad.

Me, transferring my fund’s money somewhere and claiming it got stolen: oh yes, boss, they deepfaked you on video and said Do Kwon was coming to put hardware wallet in my bum; I had to give it to them

Dangerous game to play.

People get unalived for way less than this.
