๐๐The Kraken-CertiK saga is like a crypto soap opera! CertiK, the security firm, claims it conducted a white hat operation on Kraken, draining nearly $3M. But Kraken says, "Hey, where's our change?" CertiK insists it returned all funds, but Kraken's wallet begs to differ.
๐ญPlot twist: CertiK's employee who found the bug was threatened to return the stolen funds but didn't get a wallet address. CertiK co-founder Ronghui Gu says, "They accused us of theft and threatened our employees, which is not cool, bro."
๐ช๏ธCertiK sent the stolen funds to Tornado Cash, a crypto mixing service, to avoid them being frozen by exchanges. This move raised eyebrows, with many questioning CertiKโs motives behind the white hat operation.
๐The crypto community is largely siding with Kraken, accusing CertiK of theft and blackmail. Kraken says it's chatting with law enforcement about the whole mess.
