A new cyber dispute has erupted between China and the United States over a huge stash of stolen cryptocurrency. China’s National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center (CVERC) has accused the U.S. government of taking part in a crypto theft involving 127,000 Bitcoin, worth about $13 billion.

According to a report released by CVERC, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) seized Bitcoin that was originally stolen in 2020 from a Chinese cryptocurrency mining pool called LuBian.
