A South Korean woman in her 40s has been sentenced to two years in prison for embezzling $488,000 in cryptocurrency and $1,430 in cash from her boyfriend while he slept. The Jeju District Court handed down the verdict despite her claims of partial repayment, citing prior fraud convictions as aggravating factors.

The case highlights ongoing concerns about crypto-related crimes in Jeju, where authorities have investigated multiple incidents ranging from theft to homicide. This follows a broader trend of digital asset thefts across South Korea, with criminals increasingly targeting personal wallets and exchanges.
