Good thing is that, they had already caught those six people because if that thing does not happen, the number of being affected by the scam will grow continuously. That is how expert hackers and scammers are.
So always be careful when visiting and trying some unfamiliar websites, always do research about it and read some reviews to assure yourself that it is legit.
Scammers and hackers are now evolving. The advancement of technology has made them more illegal and talented in fooling people. This seriously inflicted a bad image on the mass. People might now be questioning the security of cryptocurrency. Good thing, the authorities seized them, because if not, more of our co-Bitcoiners will be in a huge slump and it would be hard to get up from a huge loss. This is another reminder to be vigilant and careful of accessing addresses and wallets, to always check its legibility.
