Could it be that the exchange is trying to get the stolen funds back from the money of people after taking some risks to make the money?

I don't think they are going to confiscate and steal customer funds worth 1.5 billion dollars, which is the amount they lost. However, I believe they have become stricter since the hack, and they are going to confiscate funds for insignificant reasons to try and recoup as much money as possible.

This makes no sense. First, what has their stolen money got to do with being strict with their customers if they don't have an ulterior motive? Will Lazarus Group come back to bank with them when there are DEXs to warrant being strict? Are there no other CEXs too?

Again, gaining their money back does mean they will start confiscating people's money until that sum stolen is complete. Who would remain? They will only ensure some illegal and cheating styles to rob people of their money. It's not new for businesses, especially exchanges, everyone is an unwarranted suspect just to seize the funds, how convenient is that? And if you can't prove the source, it's gone forever. Those who can prove it might be stressed for months before releasing it, while some would be released bit by bit.

Now tell me, if Bybit seized unproven funds worth $1b in their global branch today, where are they remitting it? If not stealing it.
