In Lancashire, UK, police have successfully returned approximately £8 million in bitcoin to a man whose crypto was stolen in 2017. The theft was part of a £20 million hack involving four individuals who exploited a glitch in the CoinSpot crypto trading website. James Parker, the alleged mastermind, coordinated the scheme but passed away in 2021 before facing prosecution. The surviving conspirators were sentenced to over 15 years collectively. The discovery of the conspiracy occurred when one member reported a theft, leading police to unravel the large-scale operation, where stolen funds were difficult to spend, resulting in extravagant gestures like handing out gift cards and buying cars for strangers. Quite a wild ride! 🚀💸
