THE BLOCK: The U.S. Justice Department said it has seized $1.2 billion of digital assets connected to the $6 billion Binance hack, as part of an effort to block the North Korean government's alleged scheme to fund itself through crypto. "North Korea's government bankrolls its rogue regime and illicit weapons program through cryptocurrency theft," said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for National Security M. Scott Proctor. "Today's announcement shows that America will fight back against that corrupt regime’s effort to profit through cybercrime."
