These are just excuses to bring down a service that refused to cooperate with law enforcement.
They were willing to cooperate with law enforcement and Bybit, but everyone they worked with essentially called them liars and bullied them into falsely claiming that they processed stolen Bybit funds. Most likely to get their
own bounty from Bybit. Which is itself fraud. But nobody seems to care as long as North Korea is not your client.

This is actually the most worrisome part and essentially the center of the question. The reaction toward exch, given the minuscule amount of money allegedly passed through their system (26 million out of 1,400 million total)is disproportionate.
