U.S. TAKES ON NORTH KOREA’S CRYPTO LAUNDRY LIST
Apparently, North Korea’s crypto side hustle is funding weapons programs. The U.S.
Treasury just slapped sanctions on two Chinese nationals and a shady UAE company for laundering digital coins for the DPRK.
The whole operation allegedly involved North Korea-backed hackers (yep, Lazarus Group again), who are pros at stealing millions and pretending to be LinkedIn recruiters.
Half of North Korea's foreign cash? It’s crypto—because why not fund WMDs with memes and blockchain?
