HAHAHA (You deserve it)

The video covers a disastrous stretch for crypto: Polymarket was hacked via a malicious CDN script, Binance lost $6 billion to North Korea in the largest hack ever, and even Ledger hardware wallets were compromised 0:00-0:10.
Key Takeaways:
• Polymarket's frontend loaded unvetted CDN scripts; attackers hijacked DNS and injected JavaScript draining accounts, then required $10k+ victims to sign non-disparagement agreements for reimbursement 3:17-3:33, 4:00-4:29
• The FBI attributed the $6B Binance hack to North Korea — ~20% of its GDP in one day 4:54-5:18
• The attack chain was absurdly simple: a malicious Homebrew ad, software run from a fake job interview, then a container deployment that drained billions with no safeguards 9:01-9:41, 11:28-12:05
• Binance froze ~$3 billion, undercutting crypto's "uncensorable" promise, while hackers dodged freezes by borrowing ETH against stolen USDT 6:36-6:59
• Tampered Ledger hardware wallets secretly recorded private keys, enabling an $86M theft 13:38-14:05
The root problem is systemic incompetence: unvetted dependencies, single-machine access to billions, and no human review of massive transactions 12:05-12:59.

Guys, you'll never guess what happened. Yes, the degenerate gamblers finally gambled a little too close to the sun. It turns out Polymarket was in fact hacked, but that wasn't the end of it, okay? My day actually somehow got better because when I went on and turned on the old X, the old Twitter algorithms, it turns out that Binance also got destroyed. Of course, North Korea immediately says, we're not behind these hacks at all. The FBI actually disagrees with that. It turns out, yeah, it was probably North Korea. But you'll never when you hear what they what [laughter] Oh my gosh, what Binance has to say about the hack, like you couldn't even waterboard it out of me. Even more hacks and tribulations end up happening. It is a terrible day to be a degenerate gambler and it is a hilarious day…
