ZachXBT fronted $349,700 to get inside an alleged Lazarus laundering ring
ZachXBT said he fronted $349,700 to get inside an alleged Lazarus laundering ring, and he later said the operation traced more than $12 million tied to the February 2025 Bybit hack. He also said the probe helped freeze 442,000 USDT.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
People watching the aftermath of the Bybit hack and the Lazarus-linked laundering effort would notice that an outside investigator said he used his own money to get inside the network. That matters today because the described probe reached funds tied to the February 2025 hack and ended with a reported freeze of 442,000 USDT.
