That's a lot of money! I wouldn't be so quick to think hacker, though...If I wanted to kill off my business to take the money and run this is one way it could possibly be done without getting caught, lol.

I don't believe this hacker news!! Only my opinion is that the trading platforms themselves are somehow involved in the loss of funds. Employees of these dysfunctional organizations may be directly involved. And in general, I can't still understand how you can steal a private key from such large companies, it's stupid to think so!! I can easily believe that hackers stole a key from an ordinary user, it's real. In general something is not clean here guys)
