Of course news like this happens when price was starting to recover back up to $6000 the past couple days. Then this happens to stop that trend up. Coincidence?

We have discovered a large scale security breach today, May 7, 2019 at 17:15:24. Hackers were able to obtain a large number of user API keys, 2FA codes, and potentially other info. The hackers used a variety of techniques, including phishing, viruses and other attacks. We are still concluding all possible methods used. There may also be additional affected accounts that have not been identified yet.

The hackers were able to withdraw 7000 BTC in this one transaction: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/e8b406091959700dbffcff30a60b190133721e5c39e89bb5fe23c5a554ab05ea

The above transaction is the only affected transaction. It impacted our BTC hot wallet only (which contained about 2% of our total BTC holdings). All of our other wallets are secure and unharmed.

Ok one thing i dont get from this is :

They are saying that "hackers" got API keys - account logins together with 2FA codes through phishing, malware etc.. OK

Than they are saying that hackers withdraw 7K btc in one transaction from their BTC HOT WALLET ONLY ! What ?!

If hackers got ahold of api keys and account logins there would be numerous transactions where they would have to login or use the API keys to make a shitload of withdrawals etc...
Also users would have complained by now for the missing funds and unuthorized withdrawals etc

If they had access to the hot wallet than the whole hot wallet would have been emptied not only 7K ..

+ a sudden BNB pump in the last month ?

The whole explination is sketchy

EDIT :

And now here comes the saviour :
