Another exchange got hacked, that's how unsafe we are.
Over $126 million worth funds are hacked. Justin Sun promised to reimburse 100%. Let's see.

Let’s see if it’s the same North Korean hackers that been stealing cryptocurrency from a variety of exchanges and gambling platforms. These guys are truly a madman to figure out such methods to steal astronomical funds.

Poloniex failed to maintain its security, just like some previous exchanges that experienced this.

Ok but I'm just saying you are a genius for being in TRON, that is my expert opinion
Justin Sun is a very trustworthy and reliable person

Poloniex got bought by Circle and that very day I closed my account with them and told everyone to RUN.
Circle is shit.

Very common problem with that type of wallet system.

For the amount alone that was hacked, it's nice to see they seem to have fixed the issue and returned online within less than a days time.

All this apparently happened only days after CoinSpot was hacked for $2M:

Is that what happened? I know that it doesn't allow US customers.
RE: Poloniex Hacked - Omniscient - Nov 16, 2023
I don't blame Sun for the structure. A lot of crypto companies have to jump through hoops to avoid US regulation even if they are outside the US. And I'm glad he's saying "Fuck KYC". But the problem of an exchange owner using it as a personal bank is real with SBF/FTX being the best example. Which unfortunately, is the reason the US uses for all its regulation pushes. Solution is simple, don't keep your crypto on exchanges. When you use them, deposit, trade, withdraw.
Makes me wonder though if this $125m "hack" wasn't Sun hiding his funneling of funds out of the exchange. Let's say he steals $125m, he knows it's not easy to just put it back and maybe audits will find out he's been stealing customer funds. So he goes and fake-hacks the money to explain the loss of funds but at least does the right thing by saying he's going to put it back from his own money. It looks bad if he's taking constant loans from Poloniex but he becomes the good guy when he covers hacked funds. Twist.
