Payout to Creditors
How long have we been hearing this for? Since 2019 there is always speculation on preparation to payout the creditors who were hit by the hack, this is rumoured every year but never happens. I will not give any benefit of doubt until they actually start making the payments.
As for the other options, they cannot possibly be trying to manipulate the market with other people's money and who would spend such an amount on security, is that coming out of the pockets of the victims of the hack?
They can just disburse the recovered money and not have that problem to worry about.
