⚡️🚨🇫🇷 ALERT - A tax official exploited sensitive data for investigations that also targeted crypto investors. A surprising legal case is currently shaking up the justice system: a former tax administration official has been charged with fraudulently using confidential data for criminal purposes. Although the investigation initially focused on a violent assault on a prison officer, a cryptocurrency-related dimension quickly emerged. The 32-year-old woman from Bobigny was working in the tax department when she began creating "profiles" for an individual or group whose identity remains unknown to this day. She used the tax administration's internal software to obtain sensitive information about several people targeted by her "clients." These individuals included not only prison guards (who were later victims of violent home invasions), but also cryptocurrency specialists and investors. Her clients therefore had access to a wealth of sensitive information (names, addresses, capital gains, etc.) about individuals holding cryptocurrency funds. image

KYC free is the real way. You always lose when you cooperate with criminals and government.
It underlines how data exposure risks are spiking at the same time France is expanding taxpayer access to crypto holdings under global frameworks like DAC8 and CARF, which now require exchanges to transmit detailed transaction info to the tax authority.
