RE: $30M USD Bithumb hack. A somewhat still sketchy event.

in #blockchain6 years ago (edited)

Everything can be planned these days. According to some researchers in Texas University, the 2017 bitcoin surge was planned by Bitfinex using its own crypto Tether. Who knows Bithumb's heist was real or deliberately planned by themselves. After all $30M worth of cryptos is a big deal.

Sort:  

Yeah, I already read that study too. Personally I have never been a fan of Tether, as it has been very sketchy about audits and even though recently it was (in theory) confirmed that the actually do hold 1 USD for every USDT, the auditing company is also pretty sketchy. But yeah, maybe Bithumbs hack was actually themselves, it wouldn't be the first time in the cryptocurrency world.
