The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated civil forfeiture proceedings to seize over $15.1 million in USDT linked to North Korean hackers from the group APT38. The funds, stolen in 2023 from platforms such as Poloniex and CoinsPaid, were traced by the FBI. The DOJ revealed that the hackers employed mixers, cross-chain bridges, and offshore exchanges to launder the assets, which were recovered in March 2025.
