The courtroom stabbing comes weeks after a Chinese gang robbed over $2 million worth of crypto at gunpoint in a luxury estate in Thailand.
The CEO of a South Korean crypto firm was stabbed in the neck multiple times during court proceedings in Seoul.
The victim was Hugo Hyungsoo Lee, the CEO of Haru Invest, a South Korean crypto-earning company.
Lee was assaulted in the courtroom during the Haru Invest trial, which accused three of the company’s executives of stealing $826 million in cryptocurrency from around 16,000 users.
