Hushpuppi accused of laundering money with North Korean hackers

The Department of Justice has claimed that Instagram celebrity, Hushpuppi, worked with North Korean hackers to launder funds stolen from a Maltese bank in February 2019.

The Department of Justice referred to the attack in July, as a $14.7 million cyber-heist from a foreign financial institution.

It would be recalled that Hushpuppi was charged by the US Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles with conspiring to launder hundreds of millions of dollars from Business Email Compromise frauds and other scams.
