The Lazarus Heist Specials: Part one

The biggest heist yet. $1.5 billion disappears in minutes

The biggest heist yet. $1.5 billion disappears in minutes. The audacious attack was on the ByBit crypto exchange in February 2025. Investigators say North Korean hackers, the Lazarus Group, are responsible – the biggest heist in the history of crypto. With our hosts Jean Lee and Geoff White, we uncover how they pulled it off. And we learn about a North Korean POW, fighting with Russia in the Ukraine war, meeting the South Korean journalist who had the world-exclusive interview with him. Meanwhile North Korea says it has nothing to do with the cybercrimes the Lazarus Group is accused of, saying the United States is making these allegations to try and tarnish its image. Our story is about more than money. It’s about where it goes, what it buys, and who’s fighting in the shadows.
