The U.S. Department of Justice moved to seize $7.74 million in cryptocurrency, allegedly earned by IT employees from North Korea using forged identities, who worked as remote contractors for blockchain companies.
The funds were initially frozen in April 2023 as part of an indictment against Sim Hyun Sup, a banker residing in China who is alleged to have helped IT employees from North Korea launder money, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice on June 5.
