Binance Co-Founder Yi He Responds to FBI Attribution Doubts: Law Enforcement Information Is Well-Document

Binance co-founder He Yi responded to an X user who questioned the FBI's attribution of the theft of over $6 billion in virtual assets from Binance to North Korea, saying law enforcement information in such high-profile cases is rigorously verified and evidence-based. Writing on November 1, He Yi said Binance needs to coordinate with U.S. companies to freeze and recover assets, and that U.S. law enforcement intervention has been highly efficient, adding that Binance wants its funds back. The dispute began when user CaptainLufei999 cited the FBI's attribution notice and challenged the North Korea claim. The exchange underscores the stakes of one of the largest crypto thefts on record, with recovery efforts hinging on cooperation between Binance and U.S. authorities. Watch for further FBI updates on the attribution and any disclosures from Binance on frozen or recovered funds.
