Spain dismantles pirated manga website, seizes crypto cold wallets containing 400,000 euros
Svmuureported that during an operation against an illegal manga distribution platform, local police in Spain seized two cryptocurrency cold wallets containing approximately 400,000 euros (around $467,000) in assets. The operation was conducted by the Spanish police in Almería, leading to the arrest of three suspects and the dismantling of what is considered the country's largest Spanish-language pirated manga website. It is reported that the platform had been offering free pirated content since 2014, primarily generating revenue through advertisements, accumulating over 4 million euros in earnings over the past decade. Notably, the cold wallets involved were hidden inside a wall-mounted thermometer. The police have not yet disclosed whether they have obtained the relevant private keys or access to the funds.
