The courtroom stabbing incident occurred only a few weeks after a Chinese gang attempted to steal more than $2 million worth of crypto by using a gun on a luxurious estate in Thailand.
South Korean chief executive of a crypto company hacked in court, and stabbed in the neck several times.
The victim was Hugo Hyungsoo Lee, the head of a South Korean firm, Haru Invest, which specializes in getting profits from cryptocurrencies.
This was during the Haru Invest trial where three of the firm’s executives were in the dock for stealing $826m worth of cryptocurrency from 16,000 users.

A section of the local media outfit Digital Asset was bun to the fact that the attacker, a man in his 40s who invested in Haru Invest and was among the victims, jumped up from the guest seat and attempted to stab Lee on the neck with a small knife. Lee was taken to hospital as soon as possible.
The Haru Invest ceased investing and allowing redemption effective June 13, 2023. The next day, deposits and management company Delio also temporarily suspended withdrawal because some of its funds were invested in Haru Invest.
