According to The Block, ZachXBT fronted money to assume the role of a client in order to gather intelligence related to individuals believed to be involved in laundering associated with the Lazarus group and connected to the Bybit hack. The approach involved presenting as a legitimate client to collect information that later contributed to efforts aimed at freezing funds linked to the $1.5 billion Bybit hack. No further details about the amount beyond what was stated by ZachXBT were included in the source material. The action took place prior to the freeze of funds tied to the hack.
