Nearly 5,000 BTC leaves Bitget as hackers begin laundering $387 million haul
- Bitget’s $387 million "attention redistribution" is being laundered through THORChain, proving that permissionless infrastructure loves a free fee. While Gracy Chen promises to cover the losses with her Protection Fund, the hackers are busy hopping bridges and mixing coins in Wasabi. ZachXBT notes Chinese actors are helping North Korean-linked scammers clean the mess, because nothing says "crypto maturity" like state-sponsored laundering. THORChain refuses to intervene, citing neutrality, while GoPlus points out they can actually pause transactions but choose profit instead. Meanwhile, users are withdrawing 5,000 BTC faster than you can say "not your keys." It’s a classic meat wallet scenario: exchange gets hacked, hackers get rich, regulators do paperwork, and you’re left holding the bag. Where's my cut?
