Two Chinese nationals have been indicted for money laundering conspiracy and operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. The U.S. Treasury Department says they have connections to a North Korean-linked hacking group known as Lazarus. They allegedly laundered about $100 million worth of virtual currency from the 2018 theft as well as other hacking incidents, the Justice Department says. The Lazarus Group hackers allegedly stole approximately $250 million in cryptocurrency from the exchange in 2018, according to the Treasury Department. This represented about half of all virtual currency thefts tied to North Korea hacking groups in 2018.”]
