Norway’s Økokrim reported seizing nearly 60 million kroner in cryptocurrency tied to the Axie Infinity/Sky Mavis theft, describing it as the country’s largest-ever crypto seizure. The source states that about five billion kroner in cryptocurrency was stolen in March 2022 and cites the FBI attribution of the attack to the North Korean Lazarus group. Investigators worked with international partners, including FBI cryptocurrency-tracing specialists and the U.S. Department of Justice, to follow the laundering process on the blockchain and disrupt cash-out attempts. Økokrim framed the recovery as important because stolen funds could support North Korea and its nuclear-weapons program, and said it would continue tracing and seizing proceeds for possible return to Sky Mavis victims.
