North Korea’s notorious Lazarus Group has just pulled off another massive crypto maneuver, shaking up the entire industry! 💰💻
After their $1.4 billion hack on Bybit, they laundered the stolen 500,000 ETH into Bitcoin ($BTC)—and now they control a staggering 13,562 BTC, worth over $1.12 BILLION! 😱🔥
🔎 Here’s What Went Down:
✅ Lazarus hacked Bybit, stealing 500,000 ETH ($1.39B)
✅ They used THORChain to convert ETH to BTC in just 10 days! 💸
✅ Their BTC stash exploded from 778 BTC to 13,518 BTC by March 4! 🚀
✅ They now hold more BTC than El Salvador’s national reserves! 🇸🇻
💡 Why This Is a Game-Changer:
📌 North Korea is now a top Bitcoin whale! 🌍
📌 Global authorities are scrambling to track and freeze their funds. 🚔🔍
📌 THORChain is under fire for facilitating the swap, handling $5.9B in transactions and collecting $5.5M in fees. 😳
