The article makes it sound like it was wired directly to a crypto wallet in Hong Kong
Bank or not, good luck tracing anything through China. Odds are good this could have even been a nation state level scam run by North Korea. They get a lot of funding this way.
"Wiring to a crypto wallet" isn't a thing. It'd be crypto product of the century if it existed.
