There are probably some forum threads on the topic.. it seems that I might even be following some of them.. .but I had not seen anything posted recently..
I did a quick google search on the topic, and if you are interested in more then at least this article will give you something to springboard off of..

Some have blamed him for being too arrogant in terms of some of the more basic wallets would have likely given him better security than his own seemingly make-shift systems... and surely he is not being criticized in regards to his technical skills prowess, but there have been assertions that there is some value in terms of various open-source systems receiving more scrutiny than some systems that we might create for ourselves and then not be able to adequately see their vulnerabilities well enough in order to protect ourselves from such vulnerabilities.
Thanks for sharing the article. It is a complex situation that leaves one confused in regards to knowing what really happened. Luke pleading poverty at some point and coming up with this hack story much later actually make people to doubt the veracity of his claim. One thing I also found confusing is the comment of CZ, Binance CEO, where he threatened to freeze any of the stolen Bitcoin that makes it to Binance...see below.I did a quick google search on the topic, and if you are interested in more then at least this article will give you something to springboard off of..

With the advent of mixers and other privacy and anonymity innovations, how will Binance achieve this?
Personally, I have doubts about any kind of rush to necessarily learn things that you might not have the time and/or energies to learn, and sure if you have some chances to learn more technical aspects of bitcoin, then surely there is nothing wrong with that.... but I would not necessarily conclude that it is healthy to get too focused on the trees and thereby end up losing sight of the forest - because their are a whole lot of angles to bitcoin and there are a whole lot of people who still can value greatly from bitcoin without learning how to code or whatever you might speculate to be some kind of a technical barrier and/or handicap that you might have.
I actually have passion for coding. I have attempted coding when I was in the university but due to the academic workload, which I could not combine with learning new skill, I had to drop coding. After graduation, I started white collar job which also rarely give me time to do any other thing. So, me going back to coding is a kind of passion driven and not necessarily because I want to do it because of Bitcoin.
