SlowMist traced about $9.88 million from a Boykov-linked wallet to an Ethereum address listed for Boykov and Obertas, while separate Boykov- and Kim Ki Hyok-linked wallets sent funds to one Bybit deposit address.

The firm attributed roughly $4 million sent to the Bybit address to a Boykov-associated Ethereum wallet. It also linked a separate 50,000 Dai (DAI) transfer to the same destination to a wallet associated with Kim Ki Hyok.

A separate route involved 1.66 million Tether (USDT) on TRON. SlowMist said the funds moved from two Boykov-linked wallets to an address it associated with Obertas.

OFAC records associate one Ethereum address with both Boykov and Obertas. SlowMist said it tracked about $9.88 million from a Boykov-linked wallet to that address.

On Oct. 28, the Treasury announced measures against 10 individuals and one entity it linked to North Korean IT worker networks.
