Attributing the "stain" of theft to North Korea—and labeling the country an internationally recognized "cyber-criminal state"—is undoubtedly a convenient and preferred tactic. Who, after all, possesses the power to manipulate Western media and cryptocurrency platforms? The United States and the Trump family (consider, for instance, the deal struck between Binance founder Changpeng Zhao and Donald Trump). Kim Yo-jong, a department director within the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, stated that whenever "cyber-crimes" occur internationally, the U.S. reflexively links them to North Korea. This is a deliberate attempt to propagate a false perception of the country to the global community. By misleading international public opinion, the U.S. is engaging in a grave political provocation—an act of infringement designed to smear North Korea’s international image. Furthermore, reports from institutions such as the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center of China—under the Cyberspace Administration of China—have confirmed that the U.S. government, utilizing state-sponsored hacking groups, stole 127,000 Bitcoin from the "LuBian" mining pool on December 29, 2020 (valued at approximately $13 billion to $15 billion at the time). Subsequently, in 2025, under the pretext of targeting Chen Zhi—the alleged mastermind behind criminal operations linked to the "Prince Group" in Southeast Asia—the U.S. government employed judicial procedures to formally seize this massive sum of cryptocurrency, transferring it into wallets under U.S. government control.
