eXch Goes Poof! 💸 North Korea’s Fault?

Ah, the grand theater of capitalism! Crypto exchange eXch, once a shining beacon of digital dreams, has announced its ignominious demise. Curtain falls on May 1st, comrades! 🎭 Why, you ask? Because it seems they’ve been dancing a little too closely with the notorious Lazarus Group, those shadowy figures from North Korea. Apparently, laundering $35 million of the $1.4 billion pilfered from Bybit isn’t exactly good for business. Who knew? 🤷‍♂️

eXch, in a moment of stunning transparency (or perhaps forced confession), admitted to fondling a wee bit of the loot from February’s digital shenanigans. A “small portion,” they say. As if that makes it any better! 🤏 The pressure, you see, became unbearable. The all-seeing eye of scrutiny fixed upon them, and they wilted like a cheap flower in the scorching sun. 🥀

And so, another chapter closes in the thrilling saga of crypto-related cybercrime. A morality play for our times, wouldn’t you say? A reminder that even in the wild west of digital finance, some sins are too glaring to ignore. Or maybe it’s just that some governments have longer arms than others. 🤔 Farewell, eXch! May your digital ghosts haunt the blockchain forever! 👻
