Do you actually believe that news? Apart from bitcointalk, every other community thinks it's an inside job which I pretty much agree with. It's not the first time, neither last that these exchange owners like to fuck around with the traders. At this point, I've digested it.
If they're covering the lost funds from their own money, why would you assume it's an inside job? What does Binance have to gain by telling the world they got hacked?
