Who is the hacker?

Insider? Outsider?

Circle of crypto life:

1. Make an exchange.
2. Lose money on unsecured loans, DeFi, NFTs.
3. Get "hacked". >> profit
4. Be an international fugitive.

~6 months ago i saw a short episode in some video about the founder being a billionaire, crypto exchange, praising him etc. Thought to myself, -
,,Prob will end up running away to some jungle nation"

~6 months ago

About a year ago I debated someone here and he brought up SBF as an expert because he was a billionaire and I was not. I knew back then the fucker was not even close to be a billionaire nor a financial expert.

Back door expert, maybe. Let's see how good he is at hiding.

""Born and raised to an upper-middle-class Jewish family in California, he is the son of Barbara Fried and Joseph Bankman, both professors at Stanford Law School. His aunt Linda P. Fried is the current dean of Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.""

His parents teach ethics...

Looks like a fake story. Why would he be headed to Argentina? Seems like they have an extradition treaty with the US?

if he was headed to Morocco or Indonesia...

What can you expect from a guy called "Bankman Fried", deep fried thin air!

Nothing to worry about. Closing the barn door usually fixes everything.

FTX US General Counsel Ryne Miller said the crypto exchange moved funds following a series of "unauthorized transactions."

"Following the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings - FTX US and FTX [dot] com initiated precautionary steps to move all digital assets to cold storage," Miller said. "Process was expedited this evening - to mitigate damage upon observing unauthorized transactions."

This came hours after over $600 million in crypto left bankrupt crypto company FTX’s wallets late Friday, with little clear explanation as to why. Many FTX wallet holders also reported that they were seeing $0 balances in their FTX.com and FTX US wallets.

This is most likely. SBF is smart enough to know that it's easy to blame a hack when you steal all the funds for yourself. Wipe your hands clean. Guy was a charlatan from the start but there's so many suckers nowadays that it's a crime to be honest and not take their money.
