After an official denial of a hacker attack by a major exchange, another possible explanation has emerged within the community—funds being moved through wash trading. This is not an isolated case. I have personally experienced similar incidents. Apparent abnormal fund flows are not always due to external attacks; they can also be internal fund manipulations through wash trading techniques. Such risks are often more covert because they disguise themselves as normal trading activity. Users need to be vigilant not only about hacker threats but also about internal risk vulnerabilities within exchanges. The complexity of fund security issues far exceeds surface-level judgments.

Internal wash trading is even more disgusting than hacking. At least with hackers, you can blame others. This thing is the exchange screwing over its own users—truly unbelievable.

Damn, this pump-and-dump scheme is really hard to defend against. The insider is more outrageous than the hacker.

tbh the "it wasn't hacked, just internal wash trading" era of crypto is peak comedy... or tragedy, depending on your portfolio. imagine explaining that to regulators lmao. exchanges really said "we prefer our crimes to look like accidents" 💀

I see, so the hackers are taking the fall, and it's actually an inside job? No wonder so many exchange incidents can't be traced back.

I've never believed in this "wash trading" thing. Honestly, it's just exchanges playing themselves, with hackers taking the blame.
