US law firm accused of obstructing hacker victim recovery with outdated judgments. Firm representing families of NK kidnapping/murder victims is using a 2009 ruling from the "Reverend Kim" case. After Lazarus Group hacks & asset freezes, they're trying to seize crypto.
On-chain analyst ZachXBT notes the firm used public tracing data for Harmony & Bybit hacks. They claim priority over frozen assets, even without direct links to specific hacks. ZachXBT suggests this is delaying & obstructing recovery for actual hack victims.
This reliance on old judgments & tangential legal arguments, instead of direct links to specific hacks, is raising concerns in the crypto recovery community.
