North Korea Calls the Binance Hack Claims “Absurd” and Points at the US, as $3.24 Billion in Stolen Crypto Still Waits to Be Laundered

In Bitcoin news on Tuesday, November 3, North Korea rejected US claims that its hackers stole $6.3 billion from Binance, as Kim Yo Jong called the FBI’s attribution “absurd rhetoric” and suggested that Washington itself might be behind the heist. The statement, carried by the state news agency KCNA , came three days after the FBI named TraderTraitor, a North Korean state hacking unit, as the culprit. --> It changes little on the ground. Blockchain firms Chainalysis, TRM Labs and Elliptic had already tied the theft to North Korea, and the money is still moving.
