The FBI said on October 31, 2026, that North Korean actors linked to the TraderTraitor operation were responsible for stealing more than $6 billion from Binance. This is the bureau’s attribution, not a public court judgment against named individuals, and the full investigative record is not public. The loss figure is an estimate that may be updated.
The FBI urged service providers that could encounter the stolen funds to strengthen their controls and watch for related activity. The attribution does not mean every service or user that later handled the funds knowingly facilitated laundering.
