🔍 Fake buyer flipped the Chinese laundering crew — now they're tracing millions from the Bybit haul

North Korean hackers lifted roughly $1. They figured cashing out was easy money. Then a blockchain sleuth walked straight into their Chinese laundering operation pretending to be a paying customer, burning real cash just to buy access info — and that one move helped recover a chunk of the stolen fortune. Sit with that for a second: you don't out-hack these guys, you buy a seat at their table like any other client.
