BlockBeats News. May 5, according to on-chain analyst Specter, the Wasabi protocol attacker has moved all stolen funds to Tornado Cash, with a scale of about $5.9 million.

The analysis also points out that suspected hacker funds related to North Korea (including the Kelp DAO and LayerZero incidents) have also used similar routes to carry out money laundering. A typical process includes: routing funds through the Wasabi mixer → withdrawing and bridging cross-chain back to Ethereum → entering Tornado Cash → dispersing to new addresses → creating new tokens and laundering the funds through liquidity operations → cross-chaining to USDT on TRON → ultimately flowing into wallets associated with over-the-counter trading.

This pattern is considered one of the typical routes for advanced on-chain money laundering at present, combining mixing, cross-chain transfers, and liquidity operations to conceal the source of funds.
