It's not really settled. Coinbase just moved the dude's coins from the hacker's account back to his own account, which is how it should be done.
I'm actually more stunned by what seems to be stupidity of the hacker who left 60BTC on the Coinbase platform instead of taking them off. If you can get 20BTC off the platform, why not take the rest off too?
the stupid move was sending them there in the first place. the details are lacking but my reading of this---
Robertson lost his Bitcoin in a spear-phishing attack, when the email account of a firm in which he was investing was hacked. 60 of the stolen Bitcoins were then diverted to a digital wallet that was held by Coinbase. Another 20 were sent to local exchanges.
is the victim was duped into sending 80 BTC to the hacker's wallet. from that 80 BTC, the hacker then sent 60 BTC to coinbase. pretty dumb move since coinbase mandates KYC. did he never hear of a mixer, coinjoin, etc to break the chain from the spear phishing attack?
