damn I think no other currency has so many sh*t going on in their world, this crypto is an infamous place to do business in.
What are you talking about? The amount of US Dollars or Euros stolen every year is a lot bigger than anything that's on this list.
Most of those thefts don't make that good of a news story however.

there have not been stolen 10% of all $ produced

When the governments responsible for hyperinflation engage in the hyperinflation, has purchasing power been stolen from those who were using that currency?  If you admit that it is, then you see that your claim about 10% is false.  If you think that it isn't, please explain what you mean by "stolen".

Sad that this list keeps growing & getting added to every year. I wonder what % of coins that have been mined have been stolen from their rightful owner(s).

That's what I'm asking for. There should be a website which counts the stolen coins. it could even track the coins in their wallets.

If I transfer coins from one address to another and then claim that those coins were stolen by someone else, is that a theft that you want included in the answer?
