Speaking at an Aspen Institute roundtable, Ledgett pointed out that
private sector researchers had linked the digital break-in in Bangladesh
to the 2014 hack on Sony Pictures, which the U.S.
government attributed to Pyongyang.

“If that linkage from the Sony actors to the Bangladeshi bank actors is
accurate — that means that a nation state is robbing banks,” Ledgett
said. “That’s a big deal.”

The moderator of the event, former Assistant Attorney General for
National Security John Carlin, quickly followed up: “Do you believe that
there are nation states now robbing banks?”

Ledgett offered a simple answer: “I do.”
