Spain busts pirate comics website, seizes encrypted cold wallets containing €400,000

PANews reported on April 25th that, according to Cointelegraph, Spanish police seized two cryptocurrency cold wallets containing approximately €400,000 (about $467,000) in assets during a crackdown on an illegal comic book distribution platform. The operation, conducted by Almería police, resulted in the arrest of three suspects and the dismantling of what was known as the country's largest Spanish-language pirate comic website. The platform had been offering free pirated content since 2014, primarily profiting through advertising, and had accumulated over €4 million in revenue over the past decade. Notably, the cold wallets were hidden inside a thermometer inside a firewall. Police have not yet disclosed whether they have obtained the private keys or access to the funds.
