Yep. According to him, hackers gave back money stolen from HTX but since there is no way to prove and he is known bullshitter, I tend not to believe him. Who the hells what is going over there.
Something definitely stinks in all this, and I would say that some suspicious games are involved, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were some money laundering schemes. Fortunately for all of us, news like this no longer has the same impact on the market as it did in the past.
That just tells you how relevant Poloniex is at the moment. With that being said, I don't think that any exchanges getting hacked other than Coinbase and Binance would affect the market, and it would have to be a big amount of money stolen.
If we take into account that those CEXs you mention supposedly keep 98% of all funds in cold wallets (at least that's what they claimed from Coinbase), then theoretically their hacking shouldn't shake the market too much. Of course, the catch is that most of those who keep their coins on those CEXs have no idea what is a hot and what is a cold wallet - and if they heard about a hack, they would panic as if the world had come to an end.
