Bitcoin News: China Accuses U.S. of Stealing 127K BTC in High-Profile Crypto Hack

CVERC claims the hack was conducted by a "state-level hacking organization" and suggests the US seizure was part of a larger operation involving the same attackers.

@brian_greenberg except the seized bitcoins were probably not the proceeds of #scams, they were bitcoins stolen from #LuBian a long time ago that were currently held by the same guy running the scams.

someone hacked an iranian / chinese bitcoin mining pool (#LuBian) for what is now $15 billion worth of bitcoin back in 2020... and no one (other than the victims) seems to have even noticed until a few days ago. the thieves still have the bitcoins.

even in 2020 this was a $3.5 billion heist, making it the largest theft of any kind in human history.

should serve as a reminder that people who advocate for a "bitcoin standard" expect the world's governments to opt in to a system where, if north korea steals america's bitcoins, then it's game over for the american military and retirement system.
