ZachXBT Fronted $350K to Pose as Client of Chinese Launderers

ZachXBT, a prominent crypto sleuth, fronted $349,700 to pose as a client of a Chinese laundering syndicate, helping to expose a $12M+ cluster of Bybit exploit funds and leading to $75M+ in freezes.

Why it matters. ZachXBT's actions highlight the ongoing threat of North Korean-linked cybercrime and the effectiveness of on-chain investigation techniques.
