Whoa, insider threat in India? Is this reaching a new level of "globalized money grabbing"?
---
Another insider threat. I always said trust is the most valuable thing in the crypto world, but now even employees don't trust each other.
---
Zero tolerance? Bro, you're only showing zero tolerance now. Why didn't you do anything earlier? The staff already left before you closed the doors.
---
Laughing to death, the exchange dares to publicly apologize and say there's an insider threat. That's more popular than a 50% drop, incredible.
---
Feels like crypto exchanges are just like murder mystery games, every month there's a new undercover twist.
---
Support, it should be handled like this. Much more noble than some exchanges secretly embezzling funds and pretending nothing happened.

Indian employee did it? Next time, should we hire Martians for safety?

insider jobs always hit different... the transaction patterns preceding this were probably screaming red flags for weeks before anyone actually looked at the data. classic case of overlooking behavioral anomalies in employee wallet activity—should've been caught through basic clustering analysis tbh.

The insider issue is really incredible. If even a customer service representative can cause such a big disturbance, how worried should I be about my assets?

The insider threat is really becoming more and more rampant; we need to be more cautious.
