CEO of South Korean cryptocurrency company Haru Invest attacked - Risks in the cryptocurrency sector
Lee, CEO of South Korean cryptocurrency company Haru Invest, was attacked during a court hearing and injured his neck. This is a serious incident that fully demonstrates the risks in the cryptocurrency field.
The incident occurred during Lee's trial in the Haru Invest fraud case. A man in his 40s suddenly jumped up from a nearby seat and tried to stab Lee in the neck with a knife. Lee was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment.
It is reported that three executives of Haru Invest were accused of stealing $826 million worth of cryptocurrency from about 16,000 users. This large-scale fraud case has attracted widespread attention and has also caused the company to be involved in many legal disputes.
This violent incident once again warns of the security risks in the cryptocurrency field. In addition to cyber attacks and hacker threats, individuals and institutions holding digital assets are increasingly facing the risk of actual physical attacks.
We must be vigilant against the occurrence of such violent incidents, strengthen industry self-discipline and supervision, and provide a safer environment for the majority of cryptocurrency users. At the same time, victims should also receive due attention and assistance. We hope that the relevant departments can find out the cause of the case as soon as possible and take effective measures to maintain industry order and investor rights.
