During the South Korean local elections, allegations emerged against Yoo Jeong-bok, the People Power Party candidate for Incheon mayor, regarding cryptocurrency mining. While cryptocurrency mining is legal, the issue seems to be that this occurred the day after the 12.3 martial law declaration, along with suspicions of asset concealment. I’m not particularly interested in politics, but I’m curious—just curious—about which cryptocurrency it was and the wallet address. That’s all. So far, the clues are: - Approximately 21,000 coins are said to have been mined. - The cited article mentions Ethereum, but Ethereum transitioned from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake years ago; it’s probably not Ethereum. - The value is reportedly around 500 million KRW. But 21,000 ETH at today’s price would be about 6.54 billion KRW, not 500 million. If I could find out even just the name of the coin or the wallet address, it’d be like a long-awaited on-chain detective story 😄😄
