There have been whispers from the start that people within the U.S. government were involved in hacking Bitfinex. Some people say there is compelling circumstantial evidence.
Raphael was warned in 2013/2014 that his sloppy use of dollars in margin funding would lead to him being targeted by the United States.
So are you suggesting that the US, as a state actor, hacked BF for financial gain? I can see for loss of confidence in the protocol, but for 65 psaltry ass million United States dollars?
I'm intrigued, although I preliminarily disagree. And links to evidence? I'll even take biased sources.
