ZachXBT links French bank to alleged $133M crypto theft
The significance here lies less in the alleged figure than in the attribution: a mainstream bank, if confirmed, would mark the crypto theft narrative moving from exchanges and DeFi protocols into regulated banking. That the bank has not confirmed involvement leaves the claim resting on a single investigator's work, and the absence of timing or method details makes it hard to gauge whether this was an internal control failure or an external breach. Whether the bank acknowledges the incident, and whether any details on how the funds were moved emerge, is the open question.
