He Yi Rejects Online Claim Linking Binance Engineer to North Korean Agent

Binance co-CEO He Yi rejected an online allegation tying a company engineer to a North Korean agent after the exchange's hot-wallet breach, saying ZachXBT had not made the claim. AlphaWire's post described an unverified scenario involving an alleged relationship between a Binance DevOps employee and a North Korean agent. The post also relayed an unverified allegation that the employee left a laptop unattended on the day of the attack. The post had drawn more than 220,000 views. The claim followed Binance's Oct. 29 hot-wallet breach , which the exchange estimated caused $6.3 billion in losses.
