The US Justice Department has secured court approval to seize over $1.2 billion of the stolen funds from the Binance hack attributed to North Korea’s state hacking unit, while over $2.7 billion of the stolen cryptocurrency has been frozen overall. Onchain analysis suggests about $891 million may have already been laundered, with billions still accessible to the hackers.
