    The funds moved to the new addresses are suspected to be part of the 4,502.9 BTC stolen from the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange DMM Bitcoin in May. Initially, the total amount stolen was estimated to be $305 million, but at current rates, it is worth around $274 million. After the hack, DMM Bitcoin raised $320 million to compensate the victims of the hack.

    Allegations Against Lazarus Group

    Blockchain investigator ZachXBT previously blamed the Lazarus Group, linked to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, for the DMM Bitcoin hack. He indicated that the techniques used to launder the stolen crypto and several other off-chain indicators pointed to this group.
