How in the freakin world could $6B disappear into a regulated banking system without leaving a trail?

I guess at some point they'll have to cash out. Seems hard to spend $6B in vape shops.

From the BBC’s Lazarus Group reporting, they mostly seem to launder the money they steal through casinos in unregulated jurisdictions.

North Korea

  • tell me how NK woould steal 6B, or any money, with a virtual hack, from a bank. not by going in there guns blazing.

    • They were at this long before crypto. Look up "Bangladesh Bank robbery", for example, where NK hackers attempted to steal almost $1 billion from the Bangladesh central bank in 2016 (and were partially successful).

    • Did you follow the news at all about crypto heists? This is very common and well known.
