Chinese nationals indicted for laundering cryptocurrency for Lazarus Group

"Two Chinese nationals who are alleged to have laundered around $100 million in cryptocurrency on behalf of the infamous North Korean hackers Lazarus Group have been indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice."

"The indictment did not name the cryptocurrency exchanges targeted, but at least one is easy to match: the hack of Cryptsy in July 2014 that saw the theft of $9.5 million in cryptocurrency."

Looks like bad reporting. The stolen Bitcoin (where I assume the 9.5 million figure came from) has never moved and therefore has not been laundered. The author should have done some research.
