Insider Trading of Government Crypto Database Leads to Violent Crimes

A tax official based in Bobigny has been implicated in a disturbing case where she leveraged internal governmental software to gather sensitive information on cryptocurrency experts, affluent individuals like billionaire Vincent Bolloré, and various judicial and prison personnel.

These confidential dossiers were sold to criminals, who subsequently paid €800 to execute a violent home invasion targeting a prison officer in Montreuil. The serious implications of this breach of trust came to light when it was reported that her appeal against charges was rejected on January 6, as detailed by local media.

This troubling incident raises critical questions about the effectiveness and security of government transparency laws, which were intended to promote openness, but have now resulted in significant risks to individual safety and privacy.
