Ive heard over 300 million dollars has already been taken. Possibly up to a billion dollars. Early speculation is that its an inside job by FTX employees or possibly even Sam trying to make a getaway. Ill wait until we find out what really happened but it sounds like this is quickly on its way to becoming a Hollywood movie. Be careful out there!
This news has spread all over the media and you are right in saying that we don't know the true cause of what happened. Maybe this is a hacker attack (and this is a coincidence with the moment of the collapse of the exchange. ha, I almost believed it), or maybe the owner or the project team is trying to hide part of the funds (I would have believed it more). Against this background, claims of malware in the app and website look like fake (to me) to scare users away and buy time to withdraw money from the exchange. Too many suspicious coincidences.The bad thing is that the consequences of these events will reverberate throughout the crypto industry for a long time to come, as has happened more than once before. Have you already noticed the change in the price of btc?
