On Oct 29 hackers drained about $6.3B from a Binance hot wallet in roughly 20 minutes, which Binance called the largest crypto hack on record.

Binance says entry was via a compromised DevOps laptop giving access to withdrawal services, with about $3B frozen with issuers and partners, and over $6.34B in company funds reserved so user funds are safe.

Asked Oct 30 about it, President Trump said the US is "looking into the Binance hack" and relayed Binance's line that "they have it under control" / "fully covered," per BitcoinArchive and BitcoinMagazine.

Asked if North Korea was behind it, he said "we don't know," without confirming the TRM Labs and Chainalysis attribution to North Korea linked TraderTraitor.

So the viral posts from pete_rizzo_ are broadly right on size and Trump's wording, but "biggest Bitcoin hack in history" repeats Binance's USD framing, CZ himself notes Mt. Gox was 650,000 BTC and larger in BTC terms.
