Karpelès Flags Another Ledger Implant as CryptoBilis Warning Stands

The significance here is structural, not reputational: Ledger's own documentation concedes that Genuine Check verifies chip authenticity, not the absence of tampering that preserves the chip. That means the trust model for hardware wallets depends on the supply chain path a device travels, not just a firmware-level attestation. Anyone buying through third-party resellers sits closest to that gap. Whether Ledger expands verification beyond the secure chip — or shifts responsibility onto buyers to source directly — is the open question worth watching.
