I wish I could watch a Ocean's Eleven-style movie about this heist.
replyBut maybe it wouldn't be that exciting to see some guys sitting at a desk.

replyLet me introduce you to the TV show Industry which takes you into the world of London high finance where tense phone calls, compliance violations and financial crimes are the order of the day [1]
Industry is more soft porn than a show about heists
replytried to watch the latest season, was put off by this and gave up.
replyDid you tell Rick and Morty this
replyIt's a horribly inaccurate show too
replyI am not uncertain.

replyThis is like medical series about ER, in real life it doesn't happen. In real life nobody cares, things slip trough, people die, finally someone receives a huge bill.
I imagine it would look like a bunch of North Korean guys (probably not starving like their countrymen, but probably not looking great either) sitting in something like a cross between a NK state prison and an American office.
replySo yeah, really not exciting ... just sad.
Maybe they are looking great though, crisp uniforms absolutely dripping with medals.
replyWake up comrade, new model just dropped!
replyNow you make me want a North Korean version of The Office
replyNot sure if I want it written and developed by North Korea or its enemies…
Maybe similarly cringe as the Russian cartoon movie about the first dogs in space. I think it was called Space Dogs.
replyIt could be a "Severance" type of show
replyMuch more likely to resemble the latter office environment.
replyThey're not in NK, though their family is.
I'm thinking more like:
replyThat sounds like it could be pretty exciting.
replyThey clicked the "pi" symbol on the Binance homepage [1].
replyThere's a very good BBC podcast about the north Korean and Russian hacking teams by BBC, one in Lazarus and one on evil Corp or something. Shoudnlt be hard to search for if interested.
replyPlenty to film/story to tell - Binance team freaking about the operation, the users who find out funds are gone, and the thieves living it up on the stolen money.
replyI felt the same way about the Ledger wallet heist. The amount of planning that must have gone into that is insane.
replyYou might enjoy the BBC podcast cyberhack, about another very elaborate financial hacking operation: https://www.bbc.com/audio/series/w27vqd03
replyAI removed the fun even to this.
replyBut what if they’re getting a blowjob while they’re sitting at their desk?
replyThat was the solution that the movie Swordfish came up with to solve this tricky problem.

replyLiterally the locksmith paradox
replyWell, no. The locksmith paradox is where a skilled person can walk up to a novel problem and quickly solve it, irking the customer who paid a large sum for the results. Here the thieves almost certainly didn't trip over the Binance vulnerability and solve it in 20 minutes; they planned and researched this task for a long time before executing.
replyIf you want to get that narrow, then why not dismiss my comment by saying that they are not literal locksmiths? The locksmith paradox is about underestimating the expertise behind a quick result, and that expertise can include extensive preparation.
replyAnd almost certainly an inside job given the knowledge of Binance systems required.
