FBI Says North Korea Took $6B+ From Binance

On Oct 29, about 6.36 billion dollars in crypto moved out of Binance's own wallets, by TRM Labs' count, most of it in about 20 minutes. On Oct 31 the FBI said North Korea was responsible, naming the group it calls TraderTraitor. Binance says its users will not bear the financial impact, and that it has covered 95 percent of the stolen assets with its own money. Withdrawals are coming back in phases.
