Crypto journalist Molly White noted that most coverage conflated Binance reimbursing users from its own funds with actually recovering stolen assets, arguing only a fraction was frozen and little of the rest is likely to be recovered.
“Binance hasn't REcovered $6B+, it's COVERING it (reimbursing customers from company funds).”

Binance hasn’t REcovered $6B+, it’s COVERING it (reimbursing customers from company funds). Some was frozen, but Binance is not likely to recover even half. Bad headlines like this are a big part of why I started covering crypto. Generalist reporters on deadline far too often end up repeating company spin. # crypto # cryptocurrency # journalism
