The most successful bank robbers in history don't carry guns. They carry laptops — and they work for a government.
The FBI calls them TraderTraitor. The world knows them as the Lazarus Group: North Korea's state hacking unit, blamed for Sony Pictures (2014), the Bangladesh Bank heist ($81M), Bybit ($1.5B) and the $6.3B Binance breach — the biggest heist in history. UN experts estimate their stolen crypto generates about half of North Korea's foreign currency income and helps fund its nuclear weapons programme. Pyongyang denies everything — this week Kim Yo Jong called the FBI's accusation "a trite provocation."

Sources: UN Panel of Experts report (2024) — 58 suspected attacks, 2017–2023, $3B; FBI attributions (Bybit, Binance); Chainalysis (North Korea ≈ 80% of crypto stolen in 2025). Attribution statements are those of the FBI/UN/investigators; North Korea denies involvement.
