My first thought was "what date did this happen on?", found out it happened on 31st Dec. Then I thought hm...what's the cutoff date for that US tax-loss harvesting thing? Turns out 31st December is the last day to do tax-loss harvesting stuff...funny that...Permalink On twitter.com

It all just seems like a very coincidental incident but it also could have been a mistake on the dev's part The wallets the funds were sent to are probably going to be monitored by various people but I don't expect there to be any other major updatePermalink On twitter.com
