A former FBI counterintelligence supervisor is charged with stealing nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency, according to prosecutors and reporting. The allegations center on the agent taking digital assets from cryptocurrency wallets linked to “adversarial” accounts tied to FBI investigations. After the alleged theft, the agent reportedly sought ways to handle the money and plan personal next steps. One account says the agent asked ChatGPT for guidance on how to invest the stolen cryptocurrency and how to relocate to Europe. Another outlet reports the agent turned to ChatGPT as well, describing its use in connection with vacation plans.
Both reports describe the case as involving approximately $1 million in crypto and frame the accused conduct as misuse of access to or connection with wallets connected to FBI investigative activity. The sources do not agree in detail on every specific use of ChatGPT, but they both link the accused’s alleged crypto theft to subsequent reliance on the chatbot. The matter is ongoing, and the allegations have not been established as fact in court.
