šØ Circle is accused of having a connection with the North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group!
Blockchain detective ZachXBT broke the news that the well-known stablecoin issuer Circle actually had transactions with the notorious North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group. This is big news!
It is said that after Circle discovered the suspicious transactions of Lazarus Group, it took more than four months to blacklist these accounts, a full month slower than other peers! ZachXBT went all out on social media, accusing Circle of not doing enough in anti-money laundering.
According to reports, Lazarus Group is not a fuel-saving lamp. They are suspected of being the mastermind behind the hacking of Indonesian cryptocurrency exchange Indodax on September 11, which caused the exchange to lose more than 20 million US dollars!
ZachXBT's revelations triggered widespread criticism of Circle, especially doubts about CEO Jeremy Allaire. Some people in the community said that Circle only cares about making money and is indifferent to the integrity of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
At the same time, in the past few years, Lazarus Group has stolen up to $3 billion from the digital currency industry through various means, and this money may be used to support the hacking activities of the North Korean regime.
With the discussion of stablecoin regulation and anti-money laundering becoming more and more heated, such news has undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the entire industry. Friends, what do you think of Huci's revelations? Leave your opinion in the comment area!
