Let's me get this straight.

When you get compromised by North Korean hackers and they take your money you're fine?*

But if unbeknownst to you they send you money you've violated sanctions and are liable for fines and/or jail time?

Got it.

* NK 2022 GDP estimates of $20B. Hacking revenues is a large proportion of their GDP. So this activity is quite common.

Ridiculous on every count. Few things came to mind:

1. If they can so easily hacked your crypto, they deserved it more then you?

2. If one simply keep their bitcoin in a hardware wallet and backup their seeds, how are they gonna hack away your bitcoin?

And, can Chainalysis be trusted for such info? They can easily be bought by state-actors to release whatever findings. It's not like they will release their entire audit showing the hackings.

Yea, I think that about sums it up.

Honestly, I’m pretty sure they could nail you for being hacked too if you’ve done some perfectly legal shit they don’t like.
