Binance hackers are using incredibly sophisticated money laundering schemes, with stolen funds circulating through thousands of transactions, Chain reports. North Koreans send money between wallets, including back to previously held addresses. Speed and repeating patterns indicate automation designed to hide the money trail.

The hackers deposited 60 million USDT as collateral on Aave and borrowed 19,762 sites (about $44.6 million).
