The Defiant reports that Mt. Gox's Mark Karpelès says a Ledger Flex hardware wallet bought at an airport contained a spy implant. The buyer, Ben Yorke, named Metapod as the retailer. Ledger says the verified fund losses in its investigation remain tied to wallets sold by CryptoBilis. The captured text is only the headline and standfirst, so the technical details of the implant are not available. The claim is an allegation of third-party-retailer hardware tampering against a Ledger statement that points elsewhere.
TL;DR Karpelès alleges an airport-bought Ledger Flex carried a spy implant; Ledger says verified losses trace to CryptoBilis-sold wallets.
