Just days after federal prosecutors accused two Chinese nationals accused of laundering $100 million in stolen cryptocurrency funds for North Korea, the Justice Department filed an updated complaint on Friday evening with new allegations against the DPRK.
According to the updated criminal complaint, almost as soon as the criminal indictment was made public -- filled with pages of details about how the DPRK allegedly hacked and stole nearly $250 million worth of cryptocurrency from international exchanges -- North Korea began a mad dash to empty its accounts of millions of dollars' worth of those stolen funds.
