$1.2B of the stolen Binance crypto is now in US government hands.
The DOJ says it got court approval to seize or restrain over $1.2B taken in the Oct 29 hack that the FBI pins on North Korea's "TraderTraitor" group. Total stolen: more than $6B.
About $2.7B is frozen so far, much of it by Tether and Circle, per Bloomberg Law. The hackers are still washing the rest through bridges, mixers and exchanges.
The FBI also took down "FaceStealer," a deepfake video-call scam linked to $400M+ in crypto theft. Never trust an unexpected Zoom or Teams link.
On Binance at 18:17 ICT: $BNB $639.95 (-4.3% 24h), $BTC $69,370 (-5.4%), both caught in today's wider sell-off.
Does freezing half the loot change how you see stablecoins, or is it the reason you don't trust them?
