Lazarus Group sends $3.76m worth of <a href="https://investment-policy.com/btc-usd/">Bitcoin</a> to five unknown address

Those mischievous North Korean hackers, the Lazarus Group, have been up to their old tricks again. They’ve been busy shuffling their Bitcoin around like a deck of cards 🃏 , sending a cool $3.76 million worth of BTC to five mysterious wallets. Now, they’re left with a measly 13,441 BTC. Sounds like a tough break, right? 😂

Apparently, these guys have a knack for making money disappear faster than a politician’s promise 💨. According to Arkham Intelligence, their Bitcoin stash is now worth a mere $1.15 billion. Talk about a drop in the bucket! 🪣

On March 20, they started transferring their loot like it was going out of style. First, they sent 12.929 BTC (about $1.12 million) to a random unknown wallet. Then, they kept the party going, sending more Bitcoin to four other wallets: 0.308 BTC each to two lucky souls, 14.849 BTC to another, and a whopping 15.684 BTC to the fourth. In total, they sent out over 44.07 BTC ($3.76 million) in just three hours. Must be nice to have that kind of disposable income! 🤑

Maybe they’re trying to play hide-and-seek with the law 🕵️‍♂️. By spreading their Bitcoin across multiple wallets, they might be trying to make it harder to track down their ill-gotten gains. It’s like they’re saying, “Catch me if you can!” 🤪

Earlier today, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou claimed that 88.87% of the stolen funds from their recent hack are still traceable. He said a whopping $1.23 billion worth of Bitcoin has been spread across 9,117 wallets. Looks like the Lazarus Group might be biting off more than they can chew this time. 🤨

Zhou believes the hackers are trying to use Bitcoin mixers to make their tracks even harder to follow. He’s practically begging them to stop. 🥺

As of now, the “Lazarus Group” wallet (according to Arkham Intelligence) has 13,658 ETH ($27 million), $3.17 million in BNB, $706,400 in DAI, and $288,870 in BABYDOGE. They also have a healthy stash of stablecoins. But their biggest treasure? You guessed it, Bitcoin! 💎

This Lazarus Group has been active since at least 2009. Their first known heist was “Operation Troy,” which targeted the South Korean government. 😈

Their latest escapade was the hack on the Bybit crypto exchange, which cost the platform around $1.4 billion. It’s considered one of the biggest crypto heists in history. Talk about a shopping spree! 🛍️
