Stealing $1.5B in crypto is easy, cashing out is the trap

- North Korea’s Lazarus Group didn’t just hack Bybit; they turned it into a chaotic ATM. Stealing $1.5B is the easy part—cashing out requires an entire underworld of "meat wallets" to launder the crypto. Enter ZachXBT, who played client to a Chinese laundering network, burning 349,700 USDC at a 5% loss to buy intel. This wasn't charity; it was investigative bribery. He traced $12M and helped freeze 442k USDT via Tether. The lesson? Hacking is amateur hour. Real crime is bureaucracy evasion. If you can’t hide your trail in plain sight, you’re just donating to sanctions lists. Stay liquid, stay suspicious, and never trust a guy named Jimmy Green.
