2017 in Tennessee, 2022 in Oregon, 2025 in Saxony. Three years, three different places, yet almost identical tragedies: a woman hides drugs on her tongue during a prison visit, trying to pass them to her boyfriend through a kiss. The packaging breaks, and the boyfriend dies from poisoning.

The forensic report coldly reaches the same conclusion. This is not a coincidence, but a pattern. And the root of this pattern is simple—trust has been betrayed. Prison walls can block contraband, but the gaps in human nature and twisted profit chains have turned kissing into a means of poisoning. When you stake everything on a seemingly intimate channel, those deadly cracks are invisible to you.

This chilling news is actually a mirror of countless tragedies in the cryptocurrency world.

Think about it—how many people in the crypto space have also fallen for this? Investing in a shiny-looking trading platform, trusting a DeFi project promising huge profits, following the hype of assets endorsed by big names. You trust its reputation, trust its story, trust its sleek front end. But what about the unseen parts? In the backend logic you can't check, there might be hidden dangers waiting to explode—severely insufficient reserves, code vulnerabilities, or even outright rug pulls.

The most heartbreaking part is that when the real risk erupts, you have no chance to react. Just like those women, thinking that the most intimate contact is the safest, only to find it becomes the deadliest channel. The same applies in the crypto world—your trust in a platform or protocol deepens, and once something goes wrong, the losses are even greater.
