Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
SlowMist reported on-chain links among addresses tied to North Korean IT worker networks sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury on Oct. 28, when OFAC designated 10 individuals and one entity. The same Ethereum address appears on the listings for Boykov and Obertas, with Boykov transferring about $9.88 million to it, while two of his TRON addresses sent a cumulative 1.66 million USDT to an address attributed to Obertas. Boykov's and Kim Ki Hyok's Ethereum addresses also both sent funds to the same Bybit deposit address, roughly $4 million and 50,000 DAI respectively. The overlaps suggest shared control or coordinated fund flows across nominally separate sanctioned parties, strengthening the case for tracing exposure through common counterparties. Watch for further clustering of exchange deposit addresses and for whether exchanges freeze or flag the linked wallets.
