Regarding who is behind the hack: I present to you THE LAZARUS GROUP. just linked this hack to the AFX hack, which stole $24M in July and was specifically attributed to TraderTraitor. The stolen XRP from Bitget was bridged and can be directly linked to the funds stolen in the AFX hack. Stay smart.

1/ Huge respect for Dragonfly continuing to invest in the bear market. But I'm morally obliged to call out sketchy projects gaining momentum. As a community we must preempt large scale implosions like #FTX or #LUNA that set the industry back years Bitget may be the next FTX 🧵

You attempted to intimidate me by saying you'll hand me over to the police. You contact me on my terms, not the other way around. I don't have access to old platform anymore. Did you forget how extortion works? You're being EXTORTED. Another 24 hours passed. The new demands now include: Make sure to have MY money in Bitcoins, traceable, linked to your previous activity, ready so the whole world can see that I walk all over you and your other Russian buddies. Qilin cocksucker. Maybe go ask Big Boss Qilin Haise for a loan if you don't have the money after spending it all on them crack whores and WEAK zday exploits. Atleast I can make my zdays instead of buying them."
