This whole operation smells Israeli from the beginning to the end. First are these USB ledgers with modified hardware (guess who likes to do that on pagers and similar), then this happens in Germany, the country that never says "no" to the same specific group of people and finally they try exfiltrate the stolen funds with the favorite "private" coin of the same group of people, which in end is (again) proven to NOT be private at all.https://x.com/YFarmX/status/2108918564015006200

HN will never permit to look into the origin of this criminal action and normies will not even put that possibility on the table because they've been programmed against it. Let's play a game, this is a serious criminal act. I bet this will be quickly forgoten in about 3 weeks without anyone in Germany pointing fingers to the guilty party.

The crypto-theft angle seems more typical of China/NK/Russia to me. (China has some history of hardware supply-chain attacks). But without evidence we're simply speculating.
