North Korea rejected Washington's allegations linking it to a $6 billion cryptocurrency theft on the Binance platform, calling the claims "absurd rhetoric" in a statement reported by state news agency KCNA on Tuesday, Nov. 3. The dismissal came as the United States continued to press its case against Pyongyang for the digital currency theft, which Washington said demonstrated persistent hostility from the North Korean government.
According to KCNA, the North Korean government stated that the US allegations were unfounded and served only to reinforce existing tensions between the two nations. The Binance theft, one of the largest cryptocurrency robberies in history, has been the subject of ongoing international scrutiny. US officials have repeatedly pointed to North Korea, though Pyongyang has consistently denied involvement. The latest statement from KCNA marked another escalation in the diplomatic standoff, with the North Korean government emphasizing that such accusations only validate Washington's hostile posture toward the country.
