If Bybit can prove that the money that was recovered was part of the $1.4 billion that was hacked on Feb. 21, 2025, the exchange should be entitled to the funds.
I don't see any reason why they cant proof on such, because they were actually hacked, but what of the government that now seized on innocent peoples fund and fail to do the needful in making refund back to Bybit, are they helping the situation or making it get more worse, if we could remember that US has been always found doing the same, taking hold on seized coins and they don't return back to the exchange and then each affected users get refunded, can we even proof that governments are not behind some of these hacks?
