Spanish National Police have dismantled the largest Spanish-language manga piracy platform, recovering $430,000 in cryptocurrency hidden in a wall thermometer. The platform, operational since 2014, generated over $4.3 million in profits through unauthorized translations and aggressive advertising, including adult content pop-ups. Three suspects have been arrested and face charges related to intellectual property crimes.
During a raid in Almeria, authorities discovered cold wallet devices containing the illicit crypto assets. The Ministry of the Interior highlighted the significant economic damage caused to the manga industry by the piracy operation. The seized crypto-wallets are now under court control as investigations continue into the group's financial activities.
