Norway finds a way to recover crypto North Korea pinched in Axie heist

Posted on February 17, 2023 by Dissent

    How does one recover stolen Crypto? Once someone steals Crypto, it’s in their wallet. Period. There’s no recovering in it. Unless N Korea like stole Axie‘s wallet‘s or something and never sent the Crypto to their own wallets.
