According to BlockBeats, on April 9, according to News 1, an official from the South Korean financial authorities revealed that the sale of illegally obtained virtual assets is also considered "illegal transactions" and may be investigated. This is a comment made in an interview on the recent "NFP token incident" on the Coinone trading platform. The NFP token incident occurred on March 28, when a Korean investor purchased stolen assets from hackers through over-the-counter transactions and then transferred a large amount of funds to Coinone. Coinone did not prevent deposits and withdrawals, causing the token price on Coinone to fall 70% from the global average price.
