Karpelès Alleges Spy Implant in Airport-Bought Ledger Flex

Karpelès said a Ledger Flex hardware wallet purchased at an airport contained a spy implant, according to The Defiant.

The buyer, Ben Yorke, named Metapod as the retailer that sold the device.

Ledger said the fund losses it has verified during its investigation remain associated with wallets sold by CryptoBilis. That finding does not establish a link between verified losses and the device Yorke bought from Metapod.
