Japanese Fortune Teller Accused of Stealing $459,000 in Cryptocurrency
A Japanese fortune teller has been accused of stealing over $450,000 in cryptocurrency from a client. According to local media reports, Daisuke Ise was arrested on Wednesday for computer fraud.
The alleged victim enlisted the fortune teller's help in remembering her crypto wallet password. However, authorities claim that Ise extracted hints about her access information during their conversations, which he then used to piece together her password.
Police say that Ise transferred approximately $459,000 in cryptocurrency from the woman's account into his own. This incident highlights a potential risk for those seeking help with their digital assets from individuals who claim to possess psychic or mystical abilities.
