The Lazarus group of North Korea, the main suspect behind the piracy of $ 1.4 billion on February 21, was linked to a series of money arches on the Pump. So Solana platform, according to The Blockchain Zachxbt blockchain investigator. The group, known to have targeted cryptocurrency platforms, seems to whiten stolen funds thanks to these fraudulent token launches.
On February 22, $ 1.08 million in bybit’s hacking were sent to the Ethereum portfolio “0x363908DF2B0890E7E5C1E403935133094287D1”, which then raised the funds to Sollana as USDC. These funds were divided on several portfolios, some of which had previous links with carpet prints on the pump. Zachxbt, which followed more than 920 addresses connected to the piracy of Bybit, noted that a known partner of the Lazare group had launched several parts of memes using the same platform.
The feat of Bybt, one of the most important in the history of cryptography, saw the attackers flying large quantities of liquid ether (STETH), Methamphetamine) and methamphetamine) and other digital assets.

This method helped hide the source of assets before being distributed between scam operators.
