Still, the figure is about 30% less than in 2022, TRM’s head of legal and government affairs, Ari Redbord, said. That year, DPRK-affiliated actors made off with around $850 million, “a huge chunk” of which came from the Ronin Bridge exploit, Redbord told CoinDesk in an interview. In 2023, most of the stolen funds were taken in the last few months; TRM attributed about $200 million in stolen funds to North Korea in August 2023.
