The funds from the $6.3 billion Binance hack scattered from 10 wallets to hundreds of new addresses in little more than a day. Laura Shin asks Jonty whether that points to AI, and Jonty describes how TraderTraitor typically relies on Chinese-speaking money laundering organizations, and how scripted “washing machine” activity tries to break the taint trail that tools like Chainalysis, TRM and Elliptic follow. Jonty also walks through North Korea’s org chart of hacking units and how TraderTraitor got its name from Trojanized trading apps and fake job interviews.
