Binance Works With FBI to Recover Assets After $6.3B Hack
The scale here is the story: an exchange committing company funds to cover a shortfall of this size signals that recovery is being treated as a balance-sheet problem, not just a technical one. The involvement of the FBI also puts this in the small category of incidents where state actors are active participants rather than spectators, which matters for how the frozen portion is handled. Whether the frozen assets translate into actual restitution, and how the remaining gap is closed, is the open question.
