from From the blog De die in diem: comments on blog posts · host Jorge Ikeda
Join us as we dive into the Netflix documentary The Biggest Crypto Heist in History. We’re unpacking the wild story behind the 2016 Bitfinex hack, where a staggering 119,754 BTC vanished, and the arrest of Ilya Lichtenstein that followed. Why doesn’t the math of recovered funds add up? Could money laundering be part of the puzzle? We’ll also uncover the tangled web connecting Bitfinex, Tether, and their role in Bitcoin price manipulation, raising questions about how transparent these players really are. And what about the victims? We’ll discuss the compensation they received—and why many think it falls short. If crypto heists, intrigue, and financial mysteries are your thing, this is one episode you don’t want to miss!
