The Wasabi attacker moved $5.9 million to Tornado Cash, allegedly replicating a North Korea-linked money laundering path.

BlockBeats News, May 5th, according to on-chain analyst Specter, the Wasabi Protocol attacker has transferred all the stolen funds to Tornado Cash, totaling approximately $5.9 million.

The analysis also points out that hacker funds suspected to be related to North Korea (including the Kelp DAO and LayerZero incidents) have also used a similar laundering path. The typical process includes: processing funds through the Wasabi mixer for mixing → withdrawing and cross-chaining back to Ethereum → entering Tornado Cash → dispersing to new addresses → creating new tokens and laundering funds through liquidity operations → then cross-chaining to USDT on TRON → finally ending up in external transaction-related wallets.

This pattern is considered one of the typical paths for advanced on-chain money laundering, combining coin mixing, cross-chain transfers, and liquidity operations to obfuscate the origin of funds.
