Absolutely.

And it's interesting.

I think my own views of this have evolved over time, particularly recently.

You know, going back even a few years, I've just always thought to myself, this is North Korea.

And I've kind of rejected this idea that these are North Korea state sponsored, right?

I would never use that term in our writing or the way we talked about these things.

These are state actors, hard stop, right?

This is the North Korea government who's realized that, you know, stepping back for a moment, right?

Like when I talk about the enemies of the United States and our allies, I think about China and Russia and Iran.

And I put North Korea in there as well, which is crazy, right?

This is a country with absolutely no economy whatsoever.

And yet they're competing on the global stage because they've professionalized cyber crime, essentially.

There is absolutely no economy.

So it's always been how do we steal and then ultimately launder funds?

And crypto is just the latest iteration of that.

So what they've done is they've built a cyber army, essentially, and it has different names.

And you're right that it's becoming more and more decentralized where these groups are acting on their own.

They have certain signatures of the way they ultimately launder funds, the way they steal funds.

But I think that the easiest way to understand this is this is just North Korea.

People ask me all the time, how have they done this?
