    $2.35 Billion Laundered on Binance In Four Years, According to Reuters

    A report by Reuters claims that at least $2.35 billion were laundered on Binance in four years. The report was made in collaboration with companies Crystal Blockchain and Chainalysis. They examined court records and spoke with law enforcement representatives in order to prepare the report.

    Reuters claims that the hacking group Lazarus, from North Korea, laundered money on Binance in September 2020. They laundered some of the $5.4 million sum, which they had previously taken from the exchange named Eterbase, which is based in Slovakia. According to Reuters, Binance refused to cooperate with Eterbase until receiving two official requests from Slovakia’s National Crime Agency.

    According to U.S. law enforcement, the hacking group Lazarus is using illegally-acquired money to fund North Korea’s program of nuclear development. Chainalasyis estimates that Lazarus had stolen $1.75 billion worth of crypto by 2020.

    Hydra, a Russian darknet site, is another implicated party. Namely, Reuters alleges that Hydra processed payments on Binance for drugs, amounting to a total of $780 million worth of payments.

    Earlier this year, German law enforcement and the U.S. Justice Department successfully cooperated in a bid to bring down Hydra’s servers. According to the U.S. Justice Department, Hydra was responsible for 80% percent of all crypto transactions on darknet, and had received $5.2 billion since 2015.
