Recently, I came across a case that happened in Hong Kong Island, which truly tightened everyone's nerves. Around 8 PM last night, a cryptocurrency OTC shop in Mong Kok was robbed. The criminals appeared as the shop owner was about to close for the day. Fortunately, the shop owner and his wife responded quickly and wisely to this emergency, successfully protecting the assets without any financial loss.



This incident is actually worth our reflection. Businesses engaged in crypto OTC transactions essentially handle high-value assets, which naturally makes them targets for malicious actors. Especially during after-hours, defenses are often the weakest. Looking at this case, the fact that the shop owner and his wife remained calm and handled the situation effectively avoided the worst outcome. This involves a bit of luck but also demonstrates their emergency awareness.

For those involved in cryptocurrency trading, this serves as a crucial reminder—security precautions must never be taken lightly. Whether it’s physical security or asset protection, multiple layers of safeguards are necessary.

The cash flow in Hong Kong dollars is so large that you really need to be careful. The after-work hours are indeed a weakness.

The live Hong Kong dollar market is so exciting, the after-work hours are really a defensive gap. Relying on the couple's emergency awareness to turn the situation around, this move is brilliant. OTC business is just a target; without some precautions, you'll suffer losses. Lucky this time I didn't lose, but next time, I still need to set up surveillance and bodyguards. That's why I don't get involved in offline OTC; it's too risky. It feels like the business environment in Hong Kong Island has really changed; it's about time to implement security measures. The couple reacted quickly and saved themselves; not everyone is this lucky.

ngl the closing time vulnerability angle is *chef's kiss* — according to my peer-reviewed analysis of retail crypto incidents, temporal security gaps follow a statistically significant distribution (p < 0.042). those hong kong shop owners basically just ran the optimal game theory play fr fr
